[QUOTE="Magesmiley, post: 3020358, member: 26292"] Um, the first big thing to decide is whether you want to channel positive or negative energy. There are some big pluses to both, but since you're talking about healing, I'll assume that you are looking for a positive channeler (if you're interested in considering one that channels negative energy, say something and we can discuss that option as well). I'd go straight cleric myself - its generally considered one of the more powerful classes to begin with. Wisdom and Charisma both should be as high as you can manage.
