The Favored Soul boost to saves, equal hitpoints, equal BAB means that if you want to be able to heal and do other stuff you might be more effective than a cleric.  Most DMs (myself included) do not let clerics (or anyone) spontaneously cast Vigor spells.  So, you might have to occupy slots with those.  As a Favored Soul, who cares?  If you need it, you got it.  If you don't, cast something else.3.  Favored Soul 15 / Thaumaturgist 5 works well, especially if as a Favored Soul you also put the summoning spells on your list.  If you put the summoning spells on, you become the guy who gives the meat shield an easier time, the guy who heals, the guy who can set up flanking without putting anyone in danger, and a decent fighter in your own right.  If you put the Thaumaturgist on top of that, it is really nice. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'll admit.  The delay in spells is a bit unfortunate, but in my opinion you'll make that up by the end and your versatility to fill the common expectations plus do what you want will give a fair amount more satisfaction.Just a thought, though.</blockquote>
