D&D 5E - Favored Soul: Overpowered?

Yes. Here were my considerations (tweets to follow)

first, the new spells come from a limited and fixed grouping, meaning it's not as potent as wide open spell selection

Second, the FS's other class features don't provide much of a raw potency increase compared to other sorcerous origins

For example, extra attack is nice for certain archetypes, but not a universal boon for everything the sorcerer does.

Third, because domain spells are gradually layered in, I didn't feel like level-to-level they had as big an impact.

It takes 9 levels for all of the domain spells to be added, so calling it a 66% increase is only true for 11 levels.
