See that's the point though. If I created a staff that can turn undead x times per day, give two bonus feats and cast additional spells x times per day is that less valuable then an item that gives 10 energy resist? I just don't understand how FS are considered more powerful than a standard cleric. Especially when they don't get the DR until level 20.

Is it important to anyone that FS has that ability by then?

Or do you just want them to figure it out so you can RP a FS?

That.

TBFH, there should be no need to figure them out. If there are problem players, remove them, not cause everyone else to wait on standards.

Actually, yea. I created a Gold Dwarf FS of Gorm Gulthyn (God of Defense). I wrote his backstory of how he came to discover he is favored of Gorm and how he set out from the Great Rift for the Silver Marches because of a vauge "vision" of his destiny to somehow stand in defense of the Silver Marches at a time of great need.

I played him on the OAS and RPed there for many hours with a DM and some other prospective players. In the end the DM approved me for live servers based on my RP with that character.

So yea. I wanted to play a Dwarven FS because I thought it was a cool story and character to play. I also prefer spontanious casting and that was also part of my reason for wanting to try a FS because this is a game and playing a class you enjoy makes the game more fun.

I was eventually hoping to go Sorcerer/Favored Soul with my current character to fit with his background and my preference for spontaneous casting. Is this considered an overpowered combination?

Yes because it has Favored Soul in it. At least according to Rusty and Veilan

So just out of sheer curiosity, and because I haven't seen an answer yet-
Why is Circle Kick not allowed?

This is probably not the official reason, but the implementation of it is just horrible from a smooth gameplay standpoint. If there is more than 1 creature in melee range, every single time an attack lands it will change your target, making you change it back each and every round.

While true, that's only a good reason to advice against it. If uselessness were a reason to cut things out of ALFA, then there are a few other things that warrant "protective banning". Like Parry, Eldritch Blast or Lightfoot Halflings...

Being a player who occasionally enjoys playing a monk, can I ask that the powers that be unban circle kick ? If it was a matter of it being over powered then I would unstand it's being banned, but if circle kick is banned because it would gimp my monk character I would respectfully ask I be allowed to freely gimp my characters with my poor choices.
