I've played some online versions, and a play-by-email game (more storytelling than rules-based) for a while, but now it's time for the real thing.I'm jumping into a friend's ongoing campaign. It's heavily Egyptian themed, with some Dark Sun and other settings thrown in for good measure. For talking to the other players, I've decided to play a Cleric or Cleric-type character. The group lacks real healing, and the campaign is very undead themed, so I believe that a Cleric will be the right direction to go.Now, having never really played actual D&D, I need some help putting my character together. I need an eighth (8th) level Cleric/Cleric-like character, of any standard race. The stats I have are: 14, 16, 14, 14, 16, 10, plus an extra 2 points for being level 8. I'm needed for healing and combat, specifically against undead, so I'll probably follow the Ra-esque god, and take Healing and Sun as my domains.I have full access to the PHB, the DMG, the Magic Item Compendium, and Complete Divine. I'm really just looking for help. What kind of feats, builds, items, and skills should I take, to best help my group and the game?</blockquote>
