The Favored Soul is one whom a higher power has taken an interest in. Perhaps that power has some inscrutable task or destiny in place for that mortal or perhaps some chaos being has simply put someone in play in order to mess with us. Either way Favored Souls are gifted a Divinely powered servant that will do everything it can to see to their charge's needs, wishes and defense. Goal: I want this class to Control with Auras, forced movement, Close Bursts and High mobility. So at wills are Melee or close bursts with pushes/pulls. Encounters are Auras or Close Bursts. Dailies are Bigger auras, damaging zones with terrain effects and the occasional nuke. Favored Soul "A god protects me..." CLASS TRAITS Role: Controller Power Source: Divine Key Abilities: Charisma, Strength, Wisdom Armor: up to Chain, light Shields Weapon Proficiencies: Simple melee Bonus to Defenses: +1 Fort, Ref, Will Implements: Holy Symbol, Favored Weapon Hit Points: 10+Con Score HP at each level: 4 Surges per day: 6+Con mod Trained Skills: Choose 4 Arcana, Religion, Athletics, Acrobatics, Endurance, History, Dungeoneering, Nature Build Options: Maybe a "they come to you" or "you go to them" Class Features: Servitor, Aura Termination Field, Favored Weapon If you want to control a lot of enemy movement you'll need a high Charisma. If you plan on rushing into groups of enemies you'll need a high Strength. Secondary Effects and your Aura damage will often benefit from a high wisdom. SERVITOR- Besides appearing to execute many of your prayers your Servitor can carry messages. Normally it is above menial labor "gods help those who help themselves" but some believe Servitors are also spys and it will carry messages so it can report back to whatever god sent it while the Favored Soul sleeps. A Servitor can carry a brief message to anyone the character has met and will complete the task after a short rest. (It is up to the DM to determine what a "short message" is, usually 25 words or less) FAVORED WEAPON- The Favored Soul may choose one weapon with which he is proficient to act as an Implement for his prayers. Once chosen this cannot be changed. Often, a Favored Soul's Servitor will appear to brandish such a weapon when executing the character's prayers. AURA TERMINATION FIELD- Many of a Favored Soul's powers are damaging Auras. The light of his soul made manifest through the Servitor bound to it. When a Favored Soul encounters an enemy's Aura he may sacrifice a Daily power as an immediate interrupt to douse the enemy's Aura until the end of the encounter or he is killed. PRAYERS- Some powers are given multiple names and different descriptions though they are mechanically identical.
