[QUOTE="Ketser, post: 7098544, member: 66805"] I'm actually torn between 2nd and 3rd. I like the celestial beauty and purity aspect, but on the other hand i enjoy the healing options offered by the subclass, giving it perhaps a mechanically bit more clearly defined role than just sorcerer with divine spells and lets be honest... healing is something that a lot of parties expect from a character with access to divine spells... damn its one of the reasons why the arcane-divine divide was created on the first place. Still i get why some people dislike the focus on healing, until i thought about it, it bothered me too. Still it barely removes any actual choice, you can still focus on more offensive aspects and maybe only add lesser restoration to help you "off-heal" when necessary. About spectral wings... i kinda like that the divine origin gives spectral wings instead of physical ones, kinda fits more with the spiritual nature of the divine origin. Plus they remind me of the wings that angels in diablo have, so this is a smaller and personal plus for me About the favored soul not offering options for more evil divine origins... yeah the subclass is strongly favoring good, some of the neutral deities and "celestial forces" more than anything evil or fiendish, enough that a celestial sorcerer would be a better fit than just using the Favored soul name. I have been saying it for some time, WoTC is actually trying to avoid evil divine options, the paladin UA was an exeption, but considering how death cleric and oathbreaker were stuffed into the DMG as villanous options, it seems that they aren't very willing to offer evil divine options. I feel the paladin one was sort of a test to see how much the playerbase would be interested in those, but not something they want to actively puruse, unless they have changed their minds. [/QUOTE]
