Class - Favored Soul (Invocation-based)

[SorO_Lost]

Favored Soul

Good	Evil
Law	Chaos

The favored soul follows the path of the cleric but is able to channel divine power with surprising ease. She is able to perform the same tasks as her fellow divine spellcasters but with virtually no study; to her, it comes naturally. Scholars wonder if favored souls have traces of outsider blood from unions, holy or unholy, centuries ago and generations removed. Others suggest that divine training of the proper type awakens the ability, or that favored souls are simply imbued with their gifts by their gods when they begin the cleric’s path. In any case, favored souls cast their spells naturally, as much through force of personality as through study. Though this gives them extraordinary divine abilities no normal person could ever match, they see their gift as a call to action, and so in some ways may lag behind their more studious colleagues.

Alignment Choice
Many of the favored soul's class features and invocations reference a choice in alignment, both in your aligned choice and as your opposed choice. Upon taking your first level as a favored soul you must select one of your deity's alignments in respect to good, evil, lawful or chaotic. If your deity is true neutral you can choose any one of those as your deity will simply create another favored soul in opposition to your choice to balance things on a larger scale. Your opposing alignment is the opposite good/evil or lawful/chaotic scale.

Divine Damage
Divine is a special energy type meant to be unique to this entry. Known by another name it could be called divine energy as how many spells or effects from Complete Divine work such as Consecrate Spell, Holy Fire Shield, or Flamestrike. Several effects the favored soul can gain can apply bonuses to some very specific invocations. For ease of notation, you can determine if the benefits apply if the invocation deals "Divine" damage.


Class Features
All of the following are class features of the favored soul.

(click to show/hide)

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Favored souls are proficient with all simple weapons, with light and medium armor, and with shields (except tower shields). A favored soul is also proficient with her deity’s favored weapon. Although a favored soul is not proficient with heavy armor, wearing it does not interfere with her invocations.

Detect Alignment (Sp): Favored souls can detect their opposing alignment as a paladin can use detect evil.

Divine Invocations (Sp):

(click to show/hide)

A favored soul does not prepare or cast spells as other wielders of divine magic do. Instead, he possesses a repertoire of attacks, defenses, and abilities known as invocations that require him to focus the divine energy that suffuses his soul. A favored soul can use any invocation he knows at will, with the following qualifications:

A favored soul's invocations are spell-like abilities; using an invocation is therefore a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. An invocation can be disrupted, just as a spell can be ruined during casting. A favored soul is entitled to a Concentration check to successfully use an invocation if he is hit by an attack while invoking, just as a spellcaster would be. A favored soul can choose to use an invocation defensively, by making a successful Concentration check, to avoid provoking attacks of opportunity. A favored soul's invocations are subject to spell resistance unless an invocation's description specifically states otherwise. A favored soul's caster level with his invocations is equal to his favored soul level.

The save DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + the favored soul's Charisma modifier. Since spell-like abilities are not actually spells, a favored soul cannot benefit from the Spell Focus feat. He can, however, benefit from the Ability Focus feat (see page 303 of the Monster Manual), as well as from feats that emulate metamagic effects for spell-like abilities, such as Quicken Spell-Like Ability and Empower Spell-Like Ability (see pages 303 and 304 of the Monster Manual).

The four grades of invocations, in order of their relative power, are least, lesser, greater, and pure. A favored soul begins with knowledge of one invocation, which must be of the lowest grade (least). As a favored soul gains levels, he learns new invocations, as summarized on the advancement table and described below. A list of available invocations can be found following this class description, and a complete description of each invocation can be found in this thread.

At any level when a favored soul learns a new invocation, he can also replace an invocation he already knows with another invocation of the same or a lower grade. At 6th level, a favored soul can replace a least invocation he knows with a different least invocation (in addition to learning a new invocation, which could be either least or lesser). At 11th level, a favored soul can replace a least or lesser invocation he knows with another invocation of the same or a lower grade (in addition to learning a new invocation, which could be least, lesser, or greater). At 16th level, a favored soul can replace a least, lesser, or greater invocation he knows with another invocation of the same or a lower grade (in addition to learning a new invocation, which could be least, lesser, greater, or pure).

These invocations are always subject to material & XP components of mimicked spells unless the specific invocation says otherwise, they also all require a divine focus such as a holy symbol of the favored soul's deity. Favored souls can qualify for some prestige classes usually intended for spellcasters; see Warlocks and Prestige Classes in Complete Arcane for details.

Renewal (Sp):

(click to show/hide)

At the 1st level a favored soul can use a standard action to channel divine energy to heal other creatures. This functions like an invocation who's effective spell level is equal to one half your effective favored soul caster level. Unlike a cleric's connection to positive and negative energy, a favored soul's choice on alignment does not alter the healing properties and any creature capable of having hit points restored by magical means can benefit from the favored soul's healing touch, through if a creature still chooses not to benefit from this effect they can make a successful will save to negate the effect.

The amount of hit points recovered are equal to 1d4 for every two favored soul levels the favored soul possesses with a minimum of 1d4. For example, at the 4th level a favored soul can heal 2d4 hit points with a successful touch. When the favored soul gains a new level of invocations, the 6th, 11th, and 16th levels respectively, renewal gains or extends an echoing lingering effect. Consider it's duration changing from instantaneous to 1 or more rounds.

When you become able to use lesser invocations, on the following round of a creature benefiting from renewal they are healed again for half the amount as before (reroll the value and divide it by two, rounding down). This is considered an ongoing spell effect subject to any thing that would block magic such as antimagic field or attempt remove a spell effect such as dispel magic and if you attempt to use renewal more than once consecutively on a creature the duration is simply renewed. For example, if an 8th level favored soul were to heal his half-elf ally his touch would heal 4d4 hit points and on the following round with no action required by either party and no matter the distance between the two the half-elf would heal (4d4/2) hit points. But if the same favored soul were to use his ability twice in consecutive rounds the half-elf would heal 4d4 on the first round from the touch, 4d4 on the second round from the second touch, and (4d4/2) from the lingering effect.

When the favored soul gains greater and divine invocations the number of rounds the linger effect lasts increases by one round, up to a maximum of three rounds after the last time they benefited from renewal's healing touch.

Darkvision (Ex): At the 1st level a favored souls takes the first step into becoming more like an outsider tied to their chosen deity and they can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and favored souls can function just fine with no light at all.

Deity's Weapon: At 2nd level, a favored soul gains the Weapon Focus feat with his deity's favored weapon. If the character already has that feat, he can choose a different one. Then at the 6th level, a favored soul gains the Weapon Specialization feat with his deity's favored weapon. If he already has that feat, she can choose a different one. And at the 14th level a favored soul gains the Melee Weapon Mastery or Ranged Weapon Mastery feat that is the same type of damage as his deity's favored weapon deals. If he already has that feat, she can choose a different one.

Domain Power (Su): At the 3rd, 7th, 15th, and 19th level the favored soul can select one of the domains his deity offers. The favored soul can use the domain power of the selected domain as if his cleric level was equal to his favored soul level. At the 19th level the favored soul's path of ascendance allows him to manifest his own fragment of power, this allows the favored soul can select a domain power from any domain, not just one from the list of domains his deity grants.

Damage Reduction (Su): At the 4th level the favored soul gains damage reduction based on his alignment choice (see above).
Good: 1/evil.
Evil: 1/good.
Lawful: 1/chaos.
Chaos: 1/lawful.
The amount of damage reduced is increased by +1 for every four favored soul levels the favored soul possesses after the fourth.

Divine Resistance (Ex): At 5th level, a favored soul chooses an energy type and gains resistance 10 against that type. At 10th level and 15th level, the character gains resistance 10 against another energy type of her choosing.

Radiant Power (Su): At the 8th level a favored soul's connection to the divine energy improves. When the favored soul casts a spell or uses a spell-like ability that deals divine or fire damage the damage is increased by +1 per die rolled.

True Believer's Relic: The favored soul is granted a near-unique gift by his deity in the form of being able to perform a ritual to summon a relic (see magical item compendium for details). The ritual takes 8 hours and consumes a number of rare gemstones in value equal to the listed cost of the relic. The chosen relic does not have to be one that describes the favored soul's the deity, instead a copy of the relic is made in the deity's image including symbols and written scripture. The relic remains with the favored soul as long has the favored soul chooses to keep it, if stolen or lost it magically finds it's way back into the favored soul's hands that summoned it unless they are in a type of antimagic or dead magic area. If another creature attempts to use it they find it's magical properties do not work for them.

The favored soul also gains the true believer feat.

Wings (Ex): At 13th level, a favored soul gains wings and can fly at a speed of 60 feet (good maneuverability). The appearance of the wings depend on the favored soul's choice of alignment (see above).
Good: feathered.
Evil: batlike.
Lawful: slivers of steel.
Chaos: a transparent flame that sheds no light.

Ascendance: At the 17th level the favored soul leaps forward in his path of progression and is able to use magic to assume the form of an outsider. He learns a unique invocation that mimics the effect of the Greater Visage of the Deity spell except the duration is 24 hours.

Call the Faithful: At the 20th level the favored soul obtains some power over the souls of the deceased. He learns a unique invocation that mimics the effect of the True Resurrection spell.

I kind of felt bad hijacking Robbypant's thread as I ran with the idea of an invocation based Favored Soul so here it is in it's own thread open for it's own discussions.

Mine is kind of what you'd expect I hope. Divine based, kept the Class-inherited theme of ascendance, defense, and weapons and I bumped them around a little, some of it is better (weapon mastery!) and some of it got weakened for scaling (dr 10 @lv20 to dr(lvls/4). From a broad prospective you could make the point that a Warlock is weaker than a Sorcerer so how would a Divine Warlock be better than a Divine Sorcerer?

And to that, I don't have the answer you're probably hoping for. If you want a strictly empowered sort of Favored Soul I suggest you check out Robbypant's thread here which is where I got my inspiration from. But overall, the FvS presented here does get better combat oriented stats and can provide a ready supple of healing to the group giving it an alternative to the limited CC and pure blasting role of a Warlock.

[Garryl]

Ooh, invokers are always fun.

If you want any more ideas for invocations, I made a small suite of them for an invoking Paladin variant a LONG time ago. Feel free to crib ideas or reference wholesale if anything works for you.

Renewal needs an effective spell level. I'd assume 0th or 1st, but unlike Warlocks and Eldritch Blast, there doesn't seem to be any equivalents to blast shapes/essences to empower it to a higher effective level if needed. Not that it's likely to matter, but who knows?

Damage Reduction's text (DR 1 + level/5) disagrees with table (DR level/4). Any reason that good/evil are alignment-based while lawful/chaotic are material-based?

May I suggest "divine damage" instead of "light damage"? The spells you reference refer to damage resulting directly from divine power. When I hear "light damage", I immediately think of something specifically potent against undead like Searing Light or Sunbeam.

[Jackinthegreen]

Skills taken directly from the regular Favored Soul?  One of the things that has always seemed strange is they're called champions of their deity but they don't get Knowledge: Religion as one of their class skills.  Perhaps add it in since you're doing a revision?

Garryl makes a good point regarding light damage vs divine damage.  Each Favored Soul is empowered by the divine, not by light.  Some deities certainly have light in their kit, but plenty of others have darkness instead so having their champions use light-based effects wouldn't work well.

The damage reduction is very underwhelming, even compared to the original FS.  Starting it at 2 then upping it by 2 each time until at level 20 it's DR 10/type would work better, though in the grand scheme of the game it still wouldn't be all that meaningful.

[RobbyPants]

What's the advancement rate on invocations known? The class features section hints at a progression table, but I can't find one.

Edit: Don't forget to add effective spell levels for the invocations for calculating DCs.

[SorO_Lost]

Ok, mostly finished up now. Couple wording patches, invocations detailed out a little better, etc.

Skills taken directly from the regular Favored Soul?  One of the things that has always seemed strange is they're called champions of their deity but they don't get Knowledge: Religion as one of their class skills.  Perhaps add it in since you're doing a revision?

Actually it makes perfect sense.

Favored Souls are not book worms and they do not study religion, more like they intuitively follow a single faith. Think of it like your typical Christan has zero understanding over the differences of the baptists or pentecostal denominations no matter how often he reads the bible. And I certainly wouldn't except them to explain what a Jiangshi is or if the endless six-looped knot in front of the party is of Hindu meaning. All of which Knowledge(religion) is expected to fulfill the role of.

Mechanically however the point is moot so I added it, skills suck anyway.

[phaedrusxy]

Oooh, I really like the idea of making them invocation-based. Don't have time to comb over it mechanically right now, but great idea.

[Dr_emperor]

I like the idea, I'd just like to point out a lot of the invocations are status effect removal which works for a favored soul of Pelor and other good deities but maybe not Loki, Lolth and other evil deities, or even neutral deities of magic.

Lesser Favored Spell line, could grant a 1 higher level spell, without being overpowered, I mean going to three is less than Paladin and Ranger spells.  It would help differentiate the different favored souls I think.

Also on Paladin this class seems like it should have a holy sword replicating effect only usable on the deities favored weapon.

[SorO_Lost]

I like the idea, I'd just like to point out a lot of the invocations are status effect removal which works for a favored soul of Pelor and other good deities but maybe not Loki, Lolth and other evil deities, or even neutral deities of magic.

You're partially right but it's way to specific. Like Lolth's Clerics can prepare and cast Cure Spells, the flavor is they turned to darkness and learned how to innately produce a darkness-effect. But detailing every single Race and every single Deity has almost zero value and would consume an enormous amount of time. And the Domain Specific Invocations already let you specialize per Deity anyway so the job is 90% done with broadstrokes.

And if you like, this is homebrew. Bump the Domain Invocations up a level and add a Least, that gives you 88 Selectable Spells and of which you can only select 4. That's a lot of possibilities you know. And instead of a Holy Weapon invocation, I'd suggest using the Relic copying ability to refluff a weapon-based Relic, that way instead of a cookiecutter replacement set of Enhancements each FvS has a decent list to choose from and they can use their current Invocations to modify it further, such as adding an Alignment bypass, Feat bonuses, Cha-to-dmg, etc.
