Try Tihocan's Font of Healing build. It should work well for offensive and healing spells.

This is a build out I did for a friend, if you want to be more caster oriented I would take strength down to 12, con to 14, and Charisma to 10, and raise Wisdom to 18 to fit in for a pure caster and 28 pt build. Or if you did not care for the extra turn, you could drop charisma down to 8 and add it to strength.

Drop the Bastard sword for mental toughness (more Sp), or extend (longer lasting buffs). I like the bastard sword and at least 12 strength (14 would be better) for some melee action.

Gotta put a plug in for the guy in my sig. Pure, Healing/Casting specced, but can swing a 2-hander when needed. He's 32pt, but could change probably change things around for 28pt (maybe drop STR by 2 or 3, and possibly CON, but I hate going below 14 CON)

[Firesmall_at]

Decent Stats.

Drop bastard sword as a feat and take extend.

With sovereign host use a long sword or simple weapon or a martial weapon with the -4 penalty. All the feat does is take away the -4 for that weapon... not worth it. I think the Con is a little high. Better to have 15s in STR or CHA i think, but the 16 CON gives u Racial toughness 3. Not bad.

Swap Maximize and empower. You want Maximize first to buff your radiant servant positive burst for non-combat healing.

Your low lvl soundburst crowd control is better with metamagics off. I only use metamagics at lower lvls for positive burst buffs because it is free. Have quicken and empower by CLR11 for Blade Barriers. Maximize and empower before CLR11 together is wasted mana for a low lvl toon. However, Maximize and empower and empower heal all stack to buff your positive burst and damage undead.

At high lvls swap out extend for Spell Penetration or Heighten.

Also check sirgog's build catalog. Every cleric should be capable of being a good healer; it's what else you want to be able to do which determines your build.

[Mubjon]

Decent Stats.

Drop bastard sword as a feat and take extend.

It would depend on what the player wanted, extend is only helpful in buffs now and as a cleric most times in a group you will not be casting the short term buffs much and casting heals or other spells like comet fall or greater command.

Extend therefor would only be helpful when solo'ing, as I find that normally I get to a shrine before the buffs wear off from the resist, fom, shield of faith etc.

With sovereign host use a long sword or simple weapon or a martial weapon with the -4 penalty. All the feat does is take away the -4 for that weapon... not worth it. I think the Con is a little high. Better to have 15s in STR or CHA i think, but the 16 CON gives u Racial toughness 3. Not bad.

Sovereign host is needed to take radiant servant, if it was not for that it would not be needed on the build I put up for my friend.

Swap Maximize and empower. You want Maximize first to buff your radiant servant positive burst for non-combat healing.

Empower healing and empower also affect the burst At least in my experience with my level 19 cleric. And I tend to use the burst more while in combat than out of combat, it is faster than casting a heal and it heals for as much as a heal spell at higher levels.

Your low lvl soundburst crowd control is better with metamagics off. I only use metamagics at lower lvls for positive burst buffs because it is free. Have quicken and empower by CLR11 for Blade Barriers. Maximize and empower before CLR11 together is wasted mana for a low lvl toon. However, Maximize and empower and empower heal all stack to buff your positive burst and damage undead.

solid advice for any new cleric to follow.

At high lvls swap out extend for Spell Penetration or Heighten.

If he goes straight up caster, with 18 wis to start, I am not sure he needs Spell Pen at all. It would help sure, but why take it at low level when with 18 wis your spells will hit more times than not, I just ran a level 3 cleric with the above build in the plan (save a caster build and not melee 18 wis) and my sound bursts were hitting almost every time. Enough to stun more than half (usually 2 or 3 save) the kobolds in butchers run on elite.

I will have to see how it goes as she levels, but so far so good with the above build. And I think 16 con is minimum on a cleric, as you are going to get hit so you best have the HP to take those hits.
