Which Is The Best Spontaneous Divine Casting Class?

[BASHMAN]

Favored Soul. Why?

All good saves.

Weapon Specialization.

Energy Resistance.

Dmg Reduction.

Flight.

Oh, and when you get to say 18th level, you can cast a little spell called Miracle-- which lets you mimic ANY spell 1-7th level, any divine spell up to 8th. So it totally makes up for your limited repetoir. Btw, this costs you 0 xp, unlike wish. God I love that spell! My epic favored soul casts it more than any other 9th level spell. Trapped in a force cage? Use miracle to cast Disintegrate to get out. Trapped in an underwater plane, without a swim speed? Use Miracle to polymorph into a scrag... Very cool spell.

I'd vote for the spontaneous Druid variant in UA, but it isn't on the list.

I'm partial to the mystic, but I'm a DL guy and have most experience with them.

They are a wee bit underpowered compared to other divine casters (of course that puts them in good company, but that's another thread). I'd give them extra skill points or a bonus feat or three if I were DMing a campaign with a mystic.

I've played the L5R Card game for a long time and fell in love with the CS, so I have to say the shugenja. I think they could easily find a place in a dnd world, they've also got some really awesome spells open to them.

I haven't played the original L5R Card game (I'm not into CCGs/TCGs, but I'd say that L5R would be my first choice) but I have the RPG books - both the complete d20 material and the L5R 3rd Edition rules. I love Rokugan. In fact, I'll run a short introductory "campaignlet" in the next couple of weeks (might turn into a full-fledged campaign) and have already built a Bayushi Bushi to torture the players with.

I love how the tournaments influence the continuing story of the game. It's a living, breathing world where you can make a change without being the only true hero.

In fact, if they made a L5R MMORPG, I might be sorely tempted to start playing those after all (provided that all avenues would be open - Shugenja, Bushi, Monk, Courtier, and all those special occupations like shinobi.)

Using the domain sponteneity feats a normal cleric does a pretty good job as a spontaneous caster, depending on the domains.

Proper selection means spontaneously casting 3 spells per level plus having all of those slots.

I have not read over the UA version enough to see if it is equlivalent to this, better, or worse.

Why not? Here you go: Spontaneous Divine Casters

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I saw it earlier in the thread and opened it up to read but I made my post instead of reading it over very well

Thanks though!
