[QUOTE="Jon Potter, post: 3383581, member: 2323"] I never play spellcasters (well, almost never) but I'm toying with the idea of a Favored Soul/Battle Sorcerer (from UA, for those not familiar) for an upcoming one-shot adventure. Most WOTC books are on the table, and we're playing at 7th level. Can anyone offer me some pointers on implementing this particular concept? I see lots of synergy with these two since: a) they both use Charisma to determine spells b) they can both wear light armor without risk of spell failure (and with the Battlecaster feat that can be upgraded to medium armor) c) they both inhabit the "fighting spellcaster" niche Obvious feat choices seem to be Practiced Spellcaster (x2), Battlecaster, and I'm quite partial to the Versatile Spellcaster feat (which will pull double duty here with two spontaneus spellcasting classes). I'm thinking of playing human to get an extra feat to play with - maybe even taking the human paragon racial class to squeeze out another. So... this is what I'm leaning toward so far: Level 1 Human Paragon (Practiced Spellcaster/Practiced Spellcaster) Level 2 Favored Soul Level 3 Battle Sorcerer (Battlecaster) Level 4 Favored Soul Level 5 Human Paragon, applying the "+1 level of existing class" to Battle Sorcerer (Versatile Spellcaster) Level 6 Favored Soul (Extend Spell?) Level 7 Human Paragon, again applying the "+1 level of existing class" to Battle Sorcerer Is there a better way to go (bearing in mind that I'm 99% set on Favored Soul/Battle Sorcerer)? Does anyone have spell suggestions - particularly on the Favored Soul side? Help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
