Unkabear, Sacred Healing looked quite good, but the Heal: 8 prereq means Donovan's not eligible to take it as a feat until 6th level, so I stuck with Augment Healing.
Defcon, I also took your advice on some of the feats. Powerful Charge looks neat, and fits quite nicely into Donovan's whole "rush into the fray" personality. Below is a draft of the character, without spells chosen, a bonus language, and HP. I was a little unclear on average with rounding. is d8 an average of 4? Also, I'm not sure if there's a language Donovan should take based on his environment, or if I should just pick something randomly.
Let me know if I messed anything else up:
[sblock=Spells Prepared]Augment Healing: All Conj (heal) spells heal +2 HP per spell level

2nd level (3+1, DC 15):
3rd level (2+1, DC 16): [/sblock]
[sblock=Appearance]While Donovan tends to keep them covered, he bears various tatoos, most of them found near one or more of the scars he received in the fights those tatoos represent. The only generally-visible tatoo is that of the Silver Flame's fiery arrowhead, which he had set on the back of his right hand when he took his vows. As for the scars, the only one he does nothing to conceal is the crecent-shaped mark near his left eye. Gained while holding off a half-dozen ruffians who were trying to extort gold from an elderly merchant, the scar reminds Donovan of the providence he's had; once he would have called it luck that saved his eye, now he believes it was a touch of the divine.
Donovan wears the more formal robes of his office when circumstances call for it, but prefers more humble attire. While his beard is more evenly trimmed and his face cleaner, he might still be mistaken for a laborer--with his broad shoulders, rough hands, and only-slightly-better-than-commoner's clothes--were it not for the Silver Flame's arrowhead hung prominently about his neck by a silver chain.[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Donovan was a scrapper from the day he was born. His first enemy was his own umbilical cord, wrapped as it was around his throat as he struggled to reach the birth canal. He was the last of ten children in a poor home, and so had to fight for every scrap of food he got. And when he was ten years old, he had to fight a fever that took half of his siblings.
Given this, it would have been easy for Donovan to become a cutthroat or a thief, to prey on the weak. Instead, as the man grew, he became something of a local protector, eventually joining the city guard. It was while breaking up a small riot near the local temple that Donovan first encountered The Silver Flame. Realizing his own strength of spirit was what had so long sustained him, Donovan instantly felt a kinship with the brethren of the church. He soon turned in his badge for a set of robes.
It is perhaps Brother Donovan's tendency not to set himself apart from his flock which has so endeared him to them. He's certainly not afraid to get his hands dirty; Donovan has spent more time than anyone working with the volunteer construction crews he organized to clean up and renovate the slums that housed the church's poorer followers.
When Donovan more recently spearheaded a campaign to clean out the "protection" gang leeching off his home neighborhood, he fought alongside the constabulary, then sat at table with the gang's leadership to broker their amnesty in exchange for their retreat.
While Brother Donovan's stubbornness initially lead him to repeated spats with his superior, Cerril Maise, eventually the two developed a mutual respect for one another. As a shifter, Cerril had to contend with those who insist that shifters are a blight left over from the scourge of the lycanthropes--bitter enemies of The Silver Flame. Donovan, however, has always refused to judge based on the circumstances of one's birth. After all, he himself has risen from squallor to become a man of faith and of his people.
Given the obstacles they both had to fight to overcome, the two have grown to see they have far more in common than their initial head-butting would have suggested.
