Well, the spell-less Ranger deserves a more profound analysis, but the favored soul seems like a caster that decided to fight, essentially being a MAD semi-frontliner with a wet noodle-like constitution, hitting like a wet noodle...

making that healing feature come earlier would be good, and I would probably give them something like a war cleric`s bonus attack as well, based on cha at a high level, considering that they don`t have any innate bonus damage to attacks, their weapon selection is among the worst and, with the exception of dwarves and elves, they have no real combat presence besides their spells...

but this is only a first impressions rant, I haven`t really crunched nearly enough numbers to back my opinion yet.
Lovely Zoma...

Ranger skeleton vs. Fighter skeleton, same main power structure
... yeah I could see different interactions.
Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure somebody can get mileage out of it.
FiBM 11 dipping this Ranger 2, should pop up soon enough.


FS is like the classic Elf Fighter/Mage
with a nod toward Champion of Corellon.
Probably will satisfy anyone with a Blaster Gish fix.

Compare it head to head with Valor Bard and Blade'Lock.
Having only 1 dump stat makes things a little tight.
Not sure when to fit in Tome'Lock 3 into a FS build.

I like the favored soul just for the expanded spells known.

Conceptually I like the idea of swapping Rogue Arcane Trickster casting and class features, directly onto Fighter Eldrich Knight.  The casting is an obvious 1 for 1 swap, and the class specialty abilities can fit in just like the Ranger example using the BattleMaster stuff.

Call it a Swashbuckler or Cheshire Cat or Swordmage or (X)_________
