Because of their bonuses, Devas make a '''great''' choice for any caster-focused class; the [[Cleric]] or [[Invoker]] most obviously, but they're also very adept at Arcane and Psionic classes too. In fact, they're honestly rather pushed towards the spellcaster niche; they're conspicuously lacking in feat support for the martial classes, while they can have Radiant Power feat, basically an implement-based Power Attack which allows them to add-on Radiant damage. This means they can, at a minimum, layer on Radiant damage while using implements that change the damage type (for example, if they want to simultaneously exploit Radiant and Cold effects).

The Soul of the World Epic Destiny allows a deva to have had prior incarnations as mortals, reminiscent of the Moorcockian Eternal Champion. They can gain racial abilities and feats of two other races, gain another dose of +int and +wis, gain powers from another class (retraining included: hello Avenger with Power of Skill, Divine Bolts and Retributive Strike), and come back from the dead as a member of any race and class (only partially; gaining the racial encounter, plus a level 22 utility of that class).

But the best class for a Deva is [[bard]]. For the sole reason that if someone asks something along the likes of "Are we not men?" you IMMEDIATELY reply "We are Deva!". Make sure to bring a fitting hat.
