I would strongly recommend dropping your str down a few notches and boosting your con score to 16, or even 18.

I am assuming that you dont plan on doing much melee work with this character, and that is fine. I think that you are better off focusing on heals and offensive spells. With a max wisdom score you will have effective blade barriers, cometfalls, and command spells for crowd control which will be extremely useful for mitigating the damage your party members receive. The biggest problems most characters face in game is having to few HP and I know from experience that even a 16 constitution on a cleric can feel a little low at end game.

If you start off with an 8 str, eat a +2 tome and use a str item you should be okay. The biggest problems with low strength is at early levels when ray of enfeeblement can make you helpless, but at end game its much less of an issue.

[Phidius]

1. Stats: 12 Con is a little low, but not horrible. I'd advise a 14 Con over a 14 Str.
2. Skills: You don't need to put points into Heal. At all. You will get more use out of Jump or Balance. UMD is a good call, although it'll take some fancy gear to make it REALLY useful.
3. Feats: Combat Casting isn't worth it. You have a good Concentration, and Quicken - that's all you need.

Finally, what is your focus going to be? I mean, besides healing. Every Cleric is capable of healing + 1 other role... I don't see what your second focus is.

[jwdaniels]

Charisma 12, Con 14. Strength 14 is fine - you will be doing plenty of melee at low levels. The heal skill is pretty much a waste of skill points, so I would suggest not putting anything there.

Definitely max concentration and UMD. Mental Toughness and Improved Mental Toughness are kind of unnecessary. I would suggest spell penetration (if you plan on using instakill spells, which you should.)

[knightmarh]

Traded STR for CON.
Replaced UMD+Heal with Balance(can't heal when you are face down) and replaced 2nd toughness and combat casting with Spell pen + Greater spell pen feats, might need to jiggle the enhancements about but I should focus on some damage dealing spells too if I am able to do both.

Thanks for the quick reply and help guys
