Looking at the character, I note some rules problems (a shocking warhammer that is not +1, not to mention that it is a martial weapon so a cleric is not proficient with it) and some things that are more a preference than a problem (I'd like to have the Metal domain from the Spell Compendium instead of Luck, this would also fix the proficiency).
Regardless, I would like to exchange the Weapon Focus for the Touch of Healing reserve feat and the Spontaneous Healer for Healing Devotion (both from Complete Champion). I'd also like to downgrade the armor to breastplate instead of fullplate.
I'll probably also consider some spells from Complete Champion and Spell Compendium, but not sure.
Edit: Just realised that I need to make sure: does the "all good clerics have access to the Healing domain" count for the Domain feat requirement of the feat having to come from the domains that their deity grants access to?
I'll allow the "all good clerics have access to the Healing domain" to count towards anything that requires a domain to be on the deities domain list, I'm fine with that much.
I don't have complete champion so you'll have to give me the information on Touch of Healing and Healing Devotion, as I don't have those books (I can borrow them, but that won't be sufficient for the game really). The metal domain I"m fine with, Kord will just have to be a bit different than normal.
The change to the armor is fine as well.

Touch of Healing requires the ability to cast 2nd-level spells or higher.
As a standard action, I can then heal 3 points of damage per the highest level conjuration (healing) spell I have currently prepared (must be at least 2nd level), up to ½ the subject's maximum hit points. This is a supernatural ability.
Additionally, it grants a +1 competence bonus to caster level with conjuration (healing) spells.
Healing Devotion grants me a daily use of Fast Healing 1 for 1 minute, and the Fast Healing increases by +1 for every 5 character levels I have. The fast healing can be activated as an Immediate action on myself, and it activates automatically if I am brought to 0 hitpoints or less and I have a use available. Alternatively, the Fast Healing can be granted as a full-round action to a creature touched. Either way, it is a spell-like abilitie with a caster level equal to character level.
The next part I'm a touch unsure on, as the feat descriptions for this and similar feats seem to disagree with the rules for the feat type. The feat descriptions say that a Turn/Rebuke Undead use can be expended for a use of the feat, while the general rule says that a daily use of Turn/Rebuke Undead can be permanently exchanged for a daily use of the feat.

That's about how she would look under my care, I think. Her equipment is geared towards being a good second on the frontline while her character resources are mostly geared towards keeping herself and the others around him standing. With a couple more levels she should have enough spells to start using them more for buffs in addition to healing.
Ability Scores before racial adjustments and the level 4 bonus (that went to Str) were Str 15 Dex 12 Con 14 Int 12 Wis 15 Cha 10.
This is slightly different from the original configuration, which was 16 12 14 13 14 10, with it being impossible to tell whether the level 4 bonus is on Dex, Con, Int, Wis or Cha.
It looks a lot better formatting wise. I'm fine with that setup. I'm leary about using reserve feats (I have yet to have any experience with them and so they seem a bit out of place to me) but I trust your ability to explain your actions where necessary. I appreciate your helping out.
Regarding this:

I'll let you make the call. The usual rules are that the original text takes priority, which in this case, I guess, is the feat.

I think the Domain (i.e. Healing Devotion and other [domain name] Devotion) feats are on the strong side, so the more restrictive reading might be the one to follow for balance's sake. Since I'm not expecting to be turning undead a lot, I'll probably split the uses evenly so Turn Undead 2/day and Healing Devotion 3/day (1 base + 2 from Turn uses).
And I notive that I forgot to list Turn Undead and the Smite up there, need to add those.
Also, I made a guess there, but is the leaving out of Darkvision and the Outsider (native) type from the Aasimar a conscious decision to bring them back to no-LA land? And if that is the case, is Humanoid (human) then the correct type to use?
I went through the thread with a sharper eye out to see how many spells Shiobvan has cast today, and I believe this is the full total:
3rd - Cure Serious Wounds during the current battle
2nd - Cure Moderate Wounds once during the current battle and once after the hydra battle, plus Spiritual Weapon
1st - Aid during the current battle
Subtracting spells as approriate and possible from the list I'd prepare, leaves the following spells:
Alright, Dalamar you're tagged in. Go ahead and post the updated Siobhan to the RG thread (links in my sig) for reference purposes. No need to replace Denna, just go ahead and apend it to the end.

That's what my math worked out to, as well.
And while I'm here, I want to add a hearty well-fought to all. That was a wild, rolling battle and we handled it quite efficiently.
For reference, Aid is a 2nd-level cleric spell, not 1st.
It is? I went from memory and thought is was 1st. Hmm... guess I'll then have to discard the last 3rd-level slot too as that puts Shiobhan's tally at four 2nd-level spells cast when she only has three, though I do get Divine Favor back in exchange.
