Avenger Info from Eladrin

[Valakai]

This is some of the early work I had done for this one (very subject to change):

Favored Soul Divine Avenger I (Sovereign Host)
Prereqs: Level 6 Favored Soul, Favored by the Sovereign Host, Favored Soul Attack Boost II, Favored Soul Charisma I, and any of the following: Power Attack or Two Weapon Fighting.
Cost: 4 AP
Benefit: Everything the gods need to say to your enemies can be said with your weapon. When wielding a longsword in your right hand you are treated as if you have a fighter’s base attack bonus. You also gain the ability to swear an oath of enmity against a foe, vowing to destroy them in the name of your deity.

Oath of Enmity
Benefit: You mark an opponent as your chosen foe with a righteous smite. This attack gains twice your Charisma modifier to your attack roll and a damage bonus based on your Favored Soul level. Whether or not the attack hits, for the next five minutes, each time you critically hit your chosen enemy <SOMETHING AWESOME HAPPENS - oath mechanics are still very much in development, and this is just a hint> for a short period of time. (This bonus stacks up to ten times.) Your Oath of Enmity recharges after five minutes, or upon the death of your chosen foe.

Repeat for other deities, replacing "favored by" as appropriate.

Lord of Blades accepts any of the following: Improved Fortification, Power Attack, or Two Handed Fighting.

Silver Flame accepts any of the following: Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus: Ranged, or Zen Archery, and instead of a melee smite as their Oath, gets a ranged attack, and their Oath mechanic was a little bit different (and wasn't working properly at all ).

This was at the Lamaland forums for those that dont read there. Seems very interesting and hope more details will be released soon. Seems its still in fairly early stages but still some general info for those planning to roll FvS.
I for one am excited over this. Could it be that FvS gets 2 GOOD prestige classes?

Shoot. My Warforged is AP starved as it is. Now I have to find something I can drop for the attack boosts and the PrE. Maybe less DR for more DPS?

But I will love not having to cast Divine Power any more. One less short duration spell to juggle.

I was already looking forward to update 9. Update 10 looks like it'll be right up my alley, too.

whether Or Not The Attack Hits, For The Next Five Minutes, Each Time You Critically Hit Your Chosen Enemy [i]<something Awesome Happens -

Awesome!!! :d

[rodallec]

so its like a smite then. awesome.
my longsword fvs will be less gimp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The full attack bonus and better first strike per monster doesnt sound particulary strong.
Not having to cast Divine Power anymore and being able to hit every monster with a +10 dmg (at level 20) swing on first strike doesnt sound all that awesome to me.

It depends on the unknown happening on crits.

But its only first tier.

Very nice that they arent forcing melee FvS into a useless feat.

Think of it this way.

+1 feat as well. (because with the BB nerf, if you don't need DP why have extend?)

This sound great to me.

Oh, no, even more WF FVS rolling on the SoS and ESoS crafting components!

Well, you'd want to run Divine Favor anyways so i dont think it changes much towards Extend.
Personally i didnt have Extend on my melee FvS on Keeper. Never missed it.
