Favored Soul

[Grogg of the North]

The trick to Favored Soul is to figure out what you want to do as one and stick with it. Melee fighter with your own buff spells? Summoner? Healer? Party buffer? If you know you're never going to have your foes make saves, then you can dump wisdom safely.

Yes, Favored Soul is not as flexible as a cleric but I would hardly say it's a trap.

No other spellcasting class does this.

I'm pretty sure Spirit Shaman does something similar. Wisdom for spells and Charisma for DCs IIRC.

As is the case with the healer.
