An Archivist Buff-Bot

[defendi]

I want to make an Archivist character who's job is to buff other characters, focusing mostly on the main tank (my character, this is a cohort). Right now I have her as a Archivist Sun Elf (this is in the Realms) who follows Mystra. I intend to use the Archivist's ability with different divine spells to combine spells like Barkskin with cleric buffs and the Anyspells to dabble in Arcane (I'll only have the lesser version at first). So I'm looking for a little advice on the build. Mainly, feats from different books and spell advice, since there are so many of each these days its easy to miss some.

Oh, and I intend her to have a lesser ring of spell storing to help give low level self spells to others.

I think that's it. I look forward to your thoughts.

As written, Anyspell won't work for an archivist because it requires a domain slot. Is your DM willing to make an exception for you?

For your cohort, try to learn some paladin spells and use them with your ring. The Spell Compendium is a good place to start looking; I'd look at silverbeard, righteous fury, and blessing of Bahamut in particular.
