| #2cam_banksApr 26, 2004 13:24:49 | The Miniatures Handbook doesn't introduce any new races, unless you're referring to some of the racial monster entries (like the catfolk). As for character classes, the healer, favored soul, marshal and warmage are all suitable for use in a Dragonlance campaign. I've used the favored soul (one of my players is playing one) and the marshal thus far, without trouble. The favored soul is interesting because he's a spontaneous divine spellcaster who gets his power from a god, not ambient magic like the mystic. The warmage is almost certainly a sorcerer variant in Dragonlance, drawing on the ambient wild magic rather than that of the Moons. The marshal's abilities aren't magical, so he's just fine. The healer's clearly another divine spellcaster with power from the gods, and is ideal for a priestess or priest of Mishakal. Cheers, Cam |
| #3zombiegleemaxApr 26, 2004 13:27:12 | I was talking about the cat race. The Favored Soul sounds very interesting. What level is your Favored Soul PC and does he/she represent the cleric in your party ? ~~~ |
| #4cam_banksApr 26, 2004 13:37:35 | Originally posted by LordofIllusions I'm no fan of cat races, so I'll stay out of that conversation. As for my party's 7th-level half-kender favored soul, I allowed him to use the druid spell list to pick his spells, not the cleric spell list. He's effectively the party's cleric substitute but he doesn't do all the things a cleric could do. The favored soul's really more of a paladin replacement, not a cleric replacement. It depends on which spells he takes and which he doesn't. Cheers, Cam |
