High-ish Wisdom and Charisma, perhaps?Hm. I think Combat Focus and its related feats (found in the Players Handbook II, from Wizards of the Coast) sound absolutely perfect for this.Indeed, that would make a kind of sense. Also, see a couple of points down.Some kind of <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/spontaneousDivineCasters.htm" target="_blank">spontaneous casting</a> access to Druid (or maybe Cleric) spells --- that variant is from Unearthed Arcana, published by Wizards of the Coast, which is a very useful book IMO --- or even a Bard level or two?But then again, maybe some levels in <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#paladinofFreedomClassFeatures" target="_blank">Paladin of Freedom</a> instead? --- again, from UA. Maybe 4 levels, just to get a tiny bit of magic.How about Uncanny Dodge, Trap Sense, Survival and Listen for starters (i.e., 3 levels of Barbarian). . .? Even the Divine Grace, from Paladin of Freedom, could represent a kind of intuitive knack or awareness. A bit of reinterpretation, I know. Just an idea.Hm. Well, this steps a bit outside the usual D&D approach, of course. How about just adding it in as flavour - so you just have to do such-and-such for a given spell, as decreed by the GM at the time, according, at least in part, to common sense and previous 'pacts'. If you're talking nonlethal damage, maybe d6 per spell (or even caster) level? Or d4?When you say that spells "take a portion of participants' life force", do you mean that this is a permanent sacrifice? Or just "ow!", "ugh. . ." or suchlike, and done?Anyway, in inconclusive conclusion, I'd say it might be something like a Barbarian 3 / Paladin of Freedom 4, er. . . and whatever else.edit --- what about armour and weapons? any details there?</blockquote>
