Favored soul vs Cleric EDM build contest.

[Storm Munin]

Is the EDM cleric or the EDM favored soul the pinnacle of divine powerplay?

Argumentation supported by build ideas, please.

That's probably how I would do an EDM cleric :

Full cleric : http://nwn2db.com/build/?183520

FS/BG/Rogue : http://nwn2db.com/build/?183535

FS/Cleric/rogue : http://nwn2db.com/build/?183538

AB and damage wise all these builds are equivalent, AC wise the FS builds win. Due to the rogue dip the FS builds have better skills, also they simply have 10 DR that can't be dispelled and more spells, at the cost of variety .. which is not important for melee prowess.

The cleric build has less skills but has barkskin as a spell, covering all AC angles. The ones with Blackguard or Paladin get higher saves but between high fort save progression spellcraft and spells I don't think it's ever an issue for diviners. Also I couldn't fit divine shield in the blackguard one.

So in conclusion I think the FS builds are better, particularly the FS 24 /rogue 3 /cleric 3.

Preferably Aasimar. Will get XP penalty.
