[Hello all! Once again, I would like to post to some "custom classes," dispite how much the expression irks me. Anyway, these are the Favored Soul and the Raven Priest. The Favored Soul is a 'conversion' of the Complete Divine class, but I have taken some liberties with it. The Raven Priest began as a conversion for the "Knight of the Raven" PrC, but it evolved beyond the concept, and is now its own thing. The official 4e forums are a little slow this evening, so I was wanting some opinions on the paths from the good folks of ENWorld. Constructive criticisms are much appreciated! Enjoy!]
Favored Soul
"The face of my goddess smiles upon me. Almost instinctively it comes to me to follow her precepts, and so too it seems that her gifts to me are boundless."
Prerequisite: Paladin class, Divine Challenge class feature, proficiency with god's favored weapon
Time and time again you have proven yourself to be wholly dedicated to your god and his teachings. So pleased with you is your god that he has bestowed upon you the means to further exemplify your religion. You god has also given you the gifts of the angels, hoping that when you leave the world you will choose to join his army.
Favored Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, attack and damage rolls you make for your standard action attacks this turn receive a bonus equal to your charisma modifier.
Favored Weapon (11th level): You receive a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with your deities favored weapon or holy symbol.
Angelic Wings (16th level): You gain fly (clumsy) movement equal to your speed -2.

Judgment Favored Soul Attack 20
So exalted are you in the eyes of your god that you have been given the right to cast judgment on your enemies in his name. Holding up your sovereign's holy symbol and delivering your verdict, and as holy light streams down from on high, you watch as the infidels are smitten and those you deemed worthy are are reinvigorated.

"The raven is the envoy of death, constant watchers who make certain that the natural laws are upheld. When this sacred law is violated, I am called, and like a vulture to carrion, I dispose of the profanity."
Prerequisite: Cleric class, worship the Raven Queen (or similar deity.)
Times are dark, and the corruption of undeath upsets the balance of nature. You have been granted the power of the death goddess's own servants to dispose of this malignant blasphemy. Though ideal for leading action against the legions of undeath, your powers are perfectly capable of dealing death to any manner of creature.
Deathbringing Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra attack, that attack's ongoing effects that are ended by a saving throw instead require two successful saving throws on two different turns to end.
