SPontaneous Divine Caster: Which do you Use?

[Remathilis]

I'm curious to see which one of these are getting the most play, and which are best balanced.

Options:
The Mystic (Dragonlance Campaign Setting).
The Favored Soul (Miniature's Handbook).
The Evangelist (Dragon #311.)
Other (Please List)

Well, some other options from non-official sources include Green Ronin's Witch, Avatar, and Shaman, all from their Master class series.

Favoured Soul will be the available option in my campaigns. I don't know if anyone will take it - although as most of my players prefer Sorcerers to Wizards, it's quite likely!

Cheers!

I personally like the Shugenja from OA.

I use the Shaman from Green Ronin. The Witch, at least Green Ronin's version, is an arcane caster and not divine.

Shaman from Green Ronin's shaman's handbook.

(Possibly in a future game) Avatar from Green Ronin's Avatar's Handbook.

Shaman from Green Ronin's shaman's handbook.

Me too. The Shaman's Handbook is one of the finest third party products I've seen. It's in a league with From Stone to Steel and Magical Medieval Society.

I like the Shugenja from OA, too.

I use Mongoose's shaman and Green Ronin's avatar.

I use Mongoose's shaman and Green Ronin's avatar.

I used it for my OA game as an "Animist" class (keeping the OA shaman as more of a psuedo-Buddhist "cleric"). I really like the way the class works in that the entire spell list stems from the spirits. However, it really puts a lot of work on the DM's shoulders.

The Green Ronin class is a bit less flexible, but it's less work. And yuo can add the domains from Mongoose's shamans to the green ronin shaman list. For my standard psuedo-western D&D game, I use the Green Ronin shaman instead.
