Favored Soul Casting

[Bront]

The Favored Soul in the Comple Divine is listed as using Charisma for bonus spells, and for Wisdom the DC. I'm thinking that's a typo and it should be Charisma for both. It's not in the Eratta, anyone know if this is a mistake? Anyone else notice this?

Not a mistake; a balancing factor. A Favored Soul needs two stats high for the spellcasting oomph of a Sorceror - as the Favored Soul gets all good saves, 3/4ths BAB & several nifties, and more spells known than the Sorceror, while the Sorceror gets..... a Familair, one good save, and 1/2 bab.

Hmm... I think the Favored Soul is ahead in a great many respects....

I thought the Favored soul was fairly idenitical to the Sorcerer as far as balance (which is one of the weeker classes). Same number of spells to choose from and cast, but divine spells, so a more limited selection.

Guess to each their own.

LOL, the thread started by my player that caused me to ask. Thanks

I houserulled it all to Cha, but that's me. It's also a 2 person campaign, so balance is a bit less of an issue in my book.
