[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 1229382, member: 14041"] I agree that the Favored Soul seems a little overpowered, especially when you consider that it, and other classes like it, are essentially Divine Sorcerers. However, I don't think its so overpowered it would cause serious problems. Personally, I want to play a Warmage because it has inspired a fit of creativity in me to develop a system of War Colleges and reasons they might exist (which in typical Stormborn fashion has led to a whole world that is distracting me from things like work and the game I am supposed to be preping to run). Sure, its not nearlly as adaptable as a Wizard but in a Dungeon Crawl Campaign it seems a stronger choice than Sorcerer. Someone called the Healer class the "girlfriend" class. I guess Caliber's SO proves the point. Marshal seems OK, but I can't see any reason anyone in my group would play one. For the support abilities Bard seems like a better choice. But I can see that it is a possible alterantive to a multiclassed Fighter/Bard and in the right setting it will probablly work better. I doubt the book has been around long enough for any real campaigning, but has any one actually played any of these classes? Or been in a campaing with any of them? Overall I like the book, although I agree with many of the criticisms that it really isn't a good mass combat book (but is it supposed to be?) and that a lot of it seems like bits of other books cobbled together.
