Can't we just rename the class to simply 'Zealot' ?

Auril Zealot throwing about fire stuff.

Personally, I'd prefer it was Kossuth-only, as that is what Unapproachable East says (which means it takes a special place in Forgotten Realms, as indeed even Complete Divine points to).

Let's be real here, even after the changes this class will hardly be powerful enough to opt in only for mechanical reasons. It is however, the closest thing to a divine sneak archetype this server has.

If you wonder why you don't see (m)any maskarran or vhaeraunite clerics running around, it isn't because the gods advocate secrecy. It's because their current class options are atrocious.

What's so terrible about it? 8/10 progression, SA progression, fear immunity, elemental damage and a couple of dimension door uses doesn't seem so terrible.

Quick question.

Since it adds 2 favoured enemies.

With a Cavalier build would that then mean 7 favoured enemies + +7 dmg and ab to those?

I never said it was ? In its current incarnation it is rather terrible, though.

Sounds great!

These are some really good changes. I might bring back my svirf cavestalker druid if that's the case, especially now that there's Rockrun for svirf RP (+ easy access to Kraak Helzak now!)

Favored enemy doesn't give an AB bonus, but damage yes.

Wow. These are really powerful changes. I can't complain—as we say—because I play a Svirf Druid/cavestalker, but it's worthy to point out that, there is only benefits to taking Cavestalker in the UD!

I think a Favored Soul 16 / Blackguard 4 / BFZ 10 has good mechanics, 28 CL, and some interesting RP to explore! ;)

Looks awesome! :D

Only a doubt come to my mind... A 25 X / 5 HS would cast a 5 CL Heroism spell or a 30 CL one? And would be subject of ASF?
