📋 About This Mod
This is an adaptation of the Favored Soul Sorcerer subclass from Unearthed Arcana 3, as close to rules as written as I could get it:
Compatibility Framework is supported natively
Merged progression is supported natively
Non-vanilla spells for this mod are handled by my Spells Extra library
This subclass has progression to level 20. You don't need a mod to increase the level cap, you just won't get the level 13-20 features
This subclass has the Cleric tag for dialogue
Subclass Features:
Chosen of the Gods:
1st-level Favored Soul feature
At 1st level, you choose one of the cleric class’s divine domains. You add that domain’s spells for 1st-level clerics to your known spells. These spells do not count against the number of spells you can know, and they are considered to be sorcerer spells for you. When you reach 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th levels in the sorcerer class, you likewise learn your domain’s spells that become available at those levels. - Implementation notes:
