[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6942817, member: 6670153"] Okay I think the 2e Mystic class from Faiths and Avatars (which became a Prestige Class in 3e) makes more sense as a Sorceror Origin then Favoured Soul. Mystic has better flavour, would be easier to add to the sorceror, especially if you don't want to fight in melee, is older then the Favoured Soul. The 5e Favoured Soul is akward, you get an extra attack, bit your weapons usually suck depending on race, your wings aren't special, the Dragon Sorceror gets them too. The Mystic has a long, honoured Tradition, especially in FR. Both are Charisma casters, but the Mystics spell selection was much more simular to the Sorcerors then the Favoured soul, the Mystic was less melee focused and both the Sorceror and Mystic at times got familiars. Instead of getting wings, the Mystic could use charm spells, make potions, and simular magic tricks. In 3e if one took Favoured Soul as ones class and then became a Mystic Prestige class, one could even be a Charisma based, spontanous caster. And with its rich history, Mystic make no sense as a Psion Class in 5e, which almost everyone knows should just be called a Psion. So what does everyone hear think? Agree, disagree? [/QUOTE]
