[QUOTE="dwayne, post: 2021066, member: 25437"] I as a DM have a group made up of a hex blade, a spell thief, a warlock, and a favored soul. I sent this group up vs a NPC group of Equal level a standard fighter, thief, wizard, and priest. The encounter was very balanced and only the spell thief got knocked out by low hit points and the enemy thief sneak attacking him and the enemy wizard got him with a ray of frost :lol: he was not amused. The favored soul is I think balanced for the most part example priest heavy armor, know unlimited number of spells. If its not broke don't fix it, in a toe-to-toe fight my money is on the favored soul but on casting power I would go with a priest. Mind you my players are still low level but the alternate classes in the books give the game a bit more flavor and I think a good one there is great potential for role play with these classes. Power gamers in my group love the warlock but if the dm dose it right the class is sort of an out cast as are the other ones as for the spell thief well lets just say having an entire enclave of wizard after you some of note would not be fun so reputation would come into play. But I am rambling on it all boils down to the DM and keeping things balanced and fun :) [/QUOTE]
