Instead, use your Greater Magic Weapon spells to give your bow an enhancement bonus. Your Str goes up as you can invest more money in a better Belt of Giant Strength, so don't buy a magic bow until your Str stabilizes at 20 (+6 belt, +1 bump at level 4). (Use your stat bumps from levels 8 and 12 on Wisdom.)Invest instead in a Lesser Metamagic Rod of Quicken, and buy/craft the rest of your gear later. If you can't afford the Quicken rod, just use your feat for that and get a Lesser Metamagic Rod of Empower to buff up your Cure spells.Use Quicken Spell + Divine Favor for extra buffing. Combined with your GMW bow, dex bonus and cleric BAB, (excluding Haste) you'll have three arrows per round at +14/+14/+9, damage 1d8+7. Not bad, and it gets better as you gain levels. If you have a round before fighting to cast Divine Power, you can switch to a better bow and get even better bonuses, or you can cast Air Walk to stay above the melee and rain arrows down from above.You're also a level 10 cleric with some pretty good spellcasting abilities.But your problem really is in your character's personality, not in his build. You have a character who isn't fun to play. So as you reinvent his build, also reinvent his personality. Perhaps during your time as an archer you've become enamored of Phaulkon because of your growing love for the open sky, for all of its nuances and intracies of light and cloud and rain, for the way the breeze feels on your skin and the way the wind lofts your arrows around as they fly toward their target -- and you have a divine calling to became a dreamy, preachy cleric who refuses to cast Cure spells on anybody who isn't carrying a bow.Ham it up and wax poetical about the open sky at every point it's even slightly appropriate. Write short doggerel (or haiku) poetry about your adventures under the open sky, or the way your soul feels when deprived of contact with the outdoors, or the way your arrows flew during a battle, and read these awful things out loud at your gaming sessions. Having a memorable, interesting personality should make all the difference in having fun with the character.</blockquote>
