Is that now being considered the same as a "chosen"?

08-16-07, 12:02 PM In current Realmslore it is just another name for a Chosen. The two noted Seraphs from 2e, have now been listed as the Chosens of Cyric and Umberlee.

I never particularly liked it when 3e changed the 2e Seraph's into Chosen. It almost seems like another example of the "nearly every deity's divine champion has to be called a Chosen now" philosophy that was developing in 3e.

As such, I still have Seraphs, both the title and the position, in my campaigns.

Just curious - how do you distinguish Seraphs and Chosen under the 3.5 rules? I'd like to know, because like yourself, I'm not happy about the explosion of Chosen in 3.5
