Complete Divine Info Here - Scoop from RPGA

Huh. I wonder if this has any relation to the Evangelist class from my Alternate Clerics article in Dragon.

I'm thinking probably not, since mine was a core class. Most likely just a coincidence of name. Interested in seeing what it is, though.

Just gotta say: Great article! One of my faves.
The evangelist was my favorite class of the bunch.

Any info on Choosen of diety or anything like that in there?

I see no reason why it wouldn't be. As many people have commented, the Miniatures Handbook has very limited appeal. I think the designers at WotC want a spontaneously casting divine available, and the Favoured Soul is their preferred option at the moment - so it gets reprinted. Don't expect it to be changed at all.

Cheers!

The spontaneous divine caster from UA fits the niche quite nicely. I'm currently playtesting one as a cohort, and right away it feels as good if not a tad better than the core cleric.

Is it the same Favored Soul from the Miniature's Handbook?

It's the same class, but we don't have any information whether it's been modified/tweaked at all.

The Living Greyhawk document restricts the use of some of the Complete Divine material. Does anyone know why?

Could it be there are *already* items known to be broken, even before the book is released?

Uhm no. Merely they just want stuff that can fit into a Greyhawk campaign. I mean do you want them to get access to Cyric's Black Flame guy?

 

[Felon]

Any word on new domains?

Actually the Black Flame Zealot is a PrC for Kossuth, and is a reprint from Unapproachable East.

My bad. I knew it was an FR Thing though...

That's the point at which I would say "Uh - no!" I've seen no end of threads arguing that the Cleric is overpowered, and if the UA version is better... eek!

However, I suspect that the sales numbers for UA and the MHb combined won't be as great as those of the Complete Divine. Both UA and MHb appeal to specialised audiences, unlike CD.

Cheers!
