Does a warpriest have a favored class bonus as a half elf?


Rules Questions


A half elf cleric adds +1/3 to the amount of damage dealt or
damage healed when the cleric uses channel energy. A warpriest being a type of cleric, does s/he get the same bonus? It would seem reasonable. While we're at it, are favored class racial bonuses in addition to the +1 you get in hit points or skills?

Thanks


Not sure until the book comes out. The playtest doc didn't cover favored class bonuses.


Right now, they only get the +1 HP or +1 skill point. Once the book comes out, that'll change.

And no, those are not in addition. You can choose to replace the "+1 HP or +1 skill" with the alternative favored class bonus, but you do not get both.


Favored class bonunes are not "in addition to" they are instead of. All are favored class bonuses, whether it's the +1 hp or +1 skill or the class/race specific bonus. All are an option for the favored class bonus, and barring some specific ways, you only get to choose 1.

And as blahpers said, until the official Advanced Class Guide comes out there aren't any official favored class options aside from the hp or skill point. It's also seems unlikely (to me) that they will give the warpriest the same favored class option as the cleric option. And, as a point of order, the warpriest isn't just "another type of cleric". It's a distinct entity, that blends the cleric with the fighter. Why should it get the cleric's favored class bonus instead of the fighter's? It shouldn't and probably wont. It will likely get some unique bonus.

In short, no to both of your questions.
