[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 2088334, member: 6584"] The Book of Exalted Deeds could be worth a look for a tougher cleric. It uses 'exalted' status, which can be awkward to deal with - entirely up to the GM. The Fist of Raziel is a very 'strong' class - you'd lose 1 level of spell progression, but gain a permenant supernatural Magic Circle vs Evil, more HP and other abilities. Is slightly fighter biased, but you could just use the abilities to stay alive... I find that book a little too much, but it really works for some people! Out of the normal books, I think the Radient Servant of Pelor a very strong class. Can make for a very potent healer and/or turning cleric. Having a really high constitution might help you live longer. Higher the better. More HP should make you die less/ :) I think the big kicker for your character might be in selecting what magic items you start with. Find they can make a big difference. If you're party has survivability issues I'd steer clear of +LA templates and races. I think they're cool, but IMO they make you 'weaker' than a 'normal' character, especially for spellcasters.
