Favored Soul
Starting a... Enhancements Tactics Equipment Spells

A Favored Soul is a divine spellcaster like the Cleric but there are a few major differences. As a Favored Soul you are able to cast more spells per rest period, represented by your greater amount of spell points, but unlike the Cleric you can only learn a small number of the available spells. In short, as far as spell casting, the Favored Soul is the Divine version of a Sorcerer.

The Favored Soul class must be purchased in the DDO store for 995  or unlocked on a per-server basis by earning 2,500 total favor on a single character. The Favored Soul class is not free to VIPs.

Past Lives

	Past Life: Favored Soul	You were a Favored Soul in a past life. You occasionally find yourself wishing to leap off of tall things. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 to spell penetration checks and gain 20 additional spell points. (These spell points are only available if you are able to cast spells.) This feat can be stacked up to three times. Past Life: Favored Soul is a Free Feat, which means it is permanently added to the character that unlocks it and you won't need to choose it, neither at new life nor at level up.
	Past Life: Acolyte of Divine Secrets	You recall more about your past life as a Favored Soul. You have +2 to your Diplomacy skill and can call down the wrath of your former deity, producing an Avenging Light effect ten times per rest. (Activate this Favored Soul ability to cause a searing orb of radiant light to smite your target, dealing 1d8 hit points of light damage plus an additional 1d8 per three caster levels.)
