[CONAN] Martial Disciple questions

Just got two big questions for the Martial Disciple class (S&P 30 or Warrior's Companion):

1) What races favor this class? I'd assume Khitan, Himelian, and Vendhyan, but there's no actual favored listings for it.

2) The Strike the Soul ability says it uses the Magic Attack Bonus on attack rolls, and the defender defense with his Magic Attack Bonus. What's the ability modifier for both attack and defense? Str/Dex as normal for Attack/Finesse and Parry/Dodge? Or Charisma, as if casting a spell?

Actually, a very good question and I would like to go a step further: What about the 3 other S&P Class eg. Brigand, Healer and Gladiator??

Personally in the case of all 4 (Martial Disciple, Brigand, Healer and Gladiator) I would be incline to say that they are too rare/specialised that no subrace can have them as Favored class...going even a step further to state that even Hyborian cannot take them as favor class (despite them having all class as favored class). This way you keep the Rare feel of those class.

Now that been said:
- For Martial Disciple: Khitan for sure; Himelan, Vendhyan (both subrace), Kosalan and Hyborian maybe.
- For Brigand: Hyborian, Hyrkanian/Turan, Zingaran, Himelan very likely, Zamoran maybe (they are more incline for thievery rather then Brigandage though).
- For Healer: Hyborian (except: Hyperborian), Shemite, Stygian, Turanian, Zingaran, Vedhyan are very likely
- For Gladiator: Zingaran, Argossian, Stygian very likely since they have Gladiator fighting style.

I would say Charisma since IIRC it's more of a magical attack rather then an actual physical attack.

Of course I could be wrong.
