I changed my mind.Yes, getting access to Cleric domains is strong. Life Domain is my favorite so far. Bless, Spiritual Weapon, plus utility is great. Having all those extra spells, especially strong ones outside of the sorcerer's known list, is really good. Medium armor + shield is very good, better than the Dragon's defensive boost in my opinion. Extra Attack is.. alright, I guess, but I couldn't figure out how to "break" it. Elf with a longbow maybe? Casting Haste? Nor could I find any domain spell truly broken by Twinning, though there's some cool combinations. I dunno. Nothing to worry about.Anyway, it's a strong class definitely, but Dragon is the better blaster in terms of raw damage. Spiritual Weapon is tremendous for upping your damage, but at the end of the day adding your CHA to a fat Fireball is going to win out. And Wild is just bad so I'll leave that one out.So I don't think Favored Soul is overpowered anymore. I think it's really good, and I prefer it over Dragon and Wild, but it's not overpowered.I do agree that it would be nice if Dragon and Wild also got some bonus spells. Seriously, learning one spell per level is really low. It's a good design philosophy to know less spells than other casters but cast those spells better (metamagic), but the number they arrived at was too low. I doubt they'll touch the Dragon and Wild though. Or the Elemental Monk. Which is a shame, because they're clearly improving as they gain more experience with their own system.</blockquote>
