Favored Soul questions

[Moongleam]

Hello,

In light of the new updates to the Favored Soul class, I have a couple questions. I'm aware my Favored Soul character requires a mandatory rebuild, but I need some more information before I know how I'd even want to rebuild them.

Firstly, since they are now fully compatible with divine PrCs, can class features (energy resistance, weapon focus/specialization, wings) be obtained based on combined PrC/Favored Soul levels, or only total Favored Soul levels? For example, would a Favored soul/Silverstar still need to reach favored soul level 17 to be eligible for wings, or would 17 combined levels between both classes be sufficient, since Silverstar also advances divine spellcasting?

Secondly, is there any leeway on the exact weapon granted by the deity weapon focus/specialization feats? Specifically, I'm wondering if a dex-based Favored Soul of Selune could be allowed to get those feats for a light mace rather than a heavy mace, so that it benefits from weapon finesse.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Thank you, also, for overhauling this class; the compatibility with divine PrCs is much appreciated.

Other classes only advance their spellcasting--so they'll get boosts to caster level and spells known, but not additional features from FS like the energy resistance and wings. You'll still need 17 FS levels for wings, much like Eldritch Knight doesn't give the bonus feats that wizard gets. This update allows FSes to also gain higher level spells from other divine classes, where previously they only got improved duration for the spells they already knew.

The weapons are automated and pretty much set in stone, unfortunately. Personally, I think both light and heavy mace should be on the same feats, but that's something for balance to discuss.
