Sang-Drax 01-25-05, 07:04 PM	It depends on a lot of stuff, actually. I never played a Favored Soul, but, if I would, I would focus on buff spells and combat feats. Tripping is always nice, after all ;) What are his stats and 1st level feat(s)?
lonewolf 01-25-05, 07:45 PM	In the Campaing where I am DM, we have a favored Soul of Odin who is some kind of Valkyre with a longspear and now as lvl6 he has as Feats: human Dodge lvl1 Mobility lvl3 Combat Reflexes lvl3 Bonus: Weapon Focus(longspear) lvl6 Spring Attack that works quite nice :D

He is currently demolishing the opposition and dealing as much damage as our barbarian who now with his spanky new belt has a 25 str. Yeah, he rolled well. 1 - Power Atack 1 - Cleave 3 - Improved Buckler Defense 6 - Improved Sunder 9 - Combat Brute FS - Weapon Focus: Maul (we let that one slide because in essense it's a two handed war hammer...Thor was happy) He just got Divine Power, it's crazy. Granted it takes him a few rounds to buff up but it's so worth it.

Earth Reaver from Savage Species is an excellent 4th-level spell. It works like Ice Storm, but bigger range, area, and dmg (7d6). Just my 2 cents.
neilthrun 01-26-05, 11:54 PM	I played around with making a ghoul or mummy favored soul. Just kind of a flavor thing, but the energy resistance(fire) was nice for a mummy. In general id go with a race like human,half-orc,half ogre or ogre. Personally i think half ogre is a better deal for the LA but ogres do get more natural armor and strength. Yeah just make sure to take a really creepy God to be a favored soul of. Like Yondalla, Venca or Ghaulandahar.

Molot 01-28-05, 04:16 PM	I want to try play Favored Soul of "Father of All Elves" and I hope to get Moonblade (we R starting at 6'th lvl, and "sleeping" Moonblade works almost like a "usual" +1 weapon, so why not to try ;) ). I don't actually know what feats, and possibly PrC, are good to that combination, and could give it a cool powers. My role will be healer / defender in my team (we will have scout, snipper and fighting man too), And i want to be able play it. Not only roleplay :)
webgear68 01-28-05, 09:46 PM	nice work guys but he is planning on going spell casting battery and healing and party buffing
