I sent an email to Ghostknight with a question about a character concept. Once he replies, I'll finish fleshing it out and post it here.

I've changed Argentus one last time. He's an Astral Deva.
combines the warrior and some spell capacity.
I have a great idea for why and how he is alive.
Basicly the Celestial host have been smuggeling divine entities to this world in the form of magical writings. when the writings are said allowed a "baby" Deva is born out of the energies. They have to be weak to start off or the magics involved would be noticed by the infernals.
Argentus is one such "baby" Deva. He is not even strong enough to fly but he is growing more powerful.
No Deva knows where the others are or if any of them have survived.
It's up to the DM if the bad guys even know about this.

Jemal
Adventurer
That's allright, I wasn't planning on doing much summoning anyways. I was actually wondering if you'ld let me change some of the druid's abilities out to let him spontaneously cast Cure... I'ld be willing to give up access to Summon spells (Just doesn't strike me as a summoner), and maybe something else.. what do you think? If no, then I'll just go with a straight out cleric who 'leans' towards nature.

Jemal - Druid order for your character
To avoid the charisma penalty you could always go with the gold dwarf: +2 str, -2 dex, not charisma, so in terms of summoning there is not the issue of charisma.
In terms of a druid with insta-cures instead of the insta summons here goes
Druids of Demir
This order of druids venerates the neutral good aspect of the Earth deity (all druids of Demir MUST be neutral good).
They believe in the preservation of the earth. maintaining it in a pristine condition and keeping it pure. Because of this belief in the ultimate purity of the earth they believe that it is best for people to die from natural causes only and thus in healing wounds obtained from violence and torture. For this reason Demir has allowed them to spontaneously cast cure spells as a cleric rather than summon natures ally as druid.
The group is divided into two factions, those who believe in protecting the earth and its fruits (plants and animals), and those who believe in keeping it pure (travel extensively, fighting taint and healing wounds), the majority of adventuring druids of this order come from the second group.
Druids of Demir have acces to the Earth, Good, Sun and healing domains.
if you are happy with this order to belong to, go ahead and create your character.

Nice idea
To flesh it out a bit I would say that this is a new approach. Only a few have been sent this way and the Celestial host is waiting to see the results before committing to this on a larger basis. There is a concern that the Devas sent are at very high risk due to ther weakened state and thus they are being watched to see if they can succeed in their mission. The Devas sent so far are all volunteers, highly committed to the mission and wanting to see a massive implememntation. As such they are keen to move around and find means of rapidly growing their power to have maximum impact. As such any have turned to adventuring bands as a means of learning more about the situation and how best to confront it.
To date only a handful of Devas have been sent and not all have been "activated". None of the active Devas have been caught or slain as yet so it is believed that it the devils are not yet aware of this.
