[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6605360, member: 6670153"] Really looking at the subclass Bard would have been a better fit, seriously Sorcerors get nothing that supports them being in melee or using weapon ranged attacks, they have no access to healing spells, so you have a divine class that can't heal anyone till level 18 and even then only yourself unless you choose life domain. Simple weapons do next to nothing for the sorceror, they get no fighting style, sorcerors get no melee buffing spells (unless you choose War Domain), your armour interferes with your wings, and you can get armour with a feat, Dwarves, or multiclassing anyways, shield can interfere with your spellcasting. You have wizard level low hps, no class fighting ability boosts. The only thing that the Favoured Soul gets that is good is wings, which Draconics. Send your Favoured Soul to the frontlines if you wish death. Draconic is straight up better then Favoured Soul. A Draconic Sorceror Dwarf can have access to better weapons then a Favoured Soul, Medium Armour like the Favoured Soul, Wings like a Favoured Soul. I get why Favoured Soul was made for the Sorceror instead of the Bard, the Magical Origin feature fit the fluff, and they wanted to buff the Sorceror, but Mechanically Bard fits so much better. It has buff and Support Spells, Bard Songs can be religious in nature, you can borrow spells like smites and cleric spells, they have more innate support for melee fighting, better weapons, hps, buff spells, ect... The Sorceror Favoured Soul feels more like an Invoker from 4e, I mean the Favoured Soul even uses Arcane Implements instead of holy symbols just like the invoker did! Both fit more in control and blasting then traditional Favoured Soul. This is an more Charismatic Invoker with wings. [/QUOTE]
