[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 2473407, member: 30610"] Go for Paladin/Sorc and put an 18 into Charisma.

Compounding the fact that you can tank decently and soak up spell damage, you can heal yourself with lay on hands, which doesn't provoke AOOs, though it is a standard action. Four levels of paladin gets you 16 hit points/day, which increases to 20 when your charisma goes up to 20. You're immune to diseases, and can play with turning feats, which is nice.
