Summary: An S&B Warrior Priest with a large emphasis on healing others at the same time as bashing away with its sword and shield. Spell DCs are more or less abandoned, with Wisdom used to qualify for spells.

Consequently, a level of Fighter would grant the use of the more powerful Tower Shields, while granting Cleric another feat, enabling this build to take Extend.

Another level of Fighter would allow for another strength increase if you had an odd amount of +str in gear, as well as an additional feat, taking Empower.

So, all in all, how is it, for a theme build? Better or worse than my Scepter Kensai?

NOTE: Skill points were ignored in the process. They all go into Concentration. And Balance I guess.

EDIT: Some changes were made, namely to fix the oversight of only having Quicken and Empower Healing.

[Zachski]

And hey, a Favored Soul variant that drops some melee capability for smiting the hell out of enemies.

Same thing about the fighter levels as above applies. In fact, I'd even recommend at least one fighter level if you don't mind the loss of DR.

EDIT: Note to self, actually PASTE the build into the box, kthxbye.
