03-03-07, 06:55 AM I am due to play in a friend's campaign and havent played D&D for a while. I told him I was interested in playing a follower of Lathander who could wield some divine magic but focused more on mortial combat. He suggested a favoured soul, since I dont like playing paladins (i prefer playing neutral good characters)

Anyway, which book is the favoured soul in?

They are to Cleric like Sorcerer is to Wizard.

Full divine spontaneous casting with a decent number known, little goodies like energy resistance, weapon focus/spec in your deity's favored weapon, wings. 3/4 bab d8 hd.

03-03-07, 10:52 AM Crusader from Tome of Battle. They're better than the paladin in every way (No code, more abilities, maneuvers are better than the paladin's spells), heal better in-battle than a cleric (as they heal and attack at the same time, giving you basically an extra action), are extremely tough (heavy armor and a delayed damage pool - take the feat Stone Power and it basically becomes DR), and are just generally a fun class to play.

To be fair, though, they do have some bad points - they can't heal outside of battle, they aren't any help in curing diseases/ability drain/negative levels, and the way they recover maneuvers can be a little confusing.
