[QUOTE="milo, post: 5832729, member: 929"] I would advise against using Maximize on healing spells. You are better off using the higher level spell for that level of cure spell. By the time you can maximize CLW(D8+5,13 points) you have CCW(4D8+7,minimum 11 pts, avg 25). With Empower applied to all healing spells this difference is even higher. When you have 6th level spells heal is better than anything else you can cast. That being said it might be more advantageous to get Extra Channeling instead of Maximize. If you are going to go with elf you might want to think about using a longbow, stay out of melee so that you can get to where the healing is needed, if you go that route your other feats should probably be point blank shot/precise shot. If anyone has Ultimate Combat in your group check out the Merciful Healer. You don't get your second domain, but you don't provoke AoO when healing with spells or heal skill and get Paladin Mercies to add to your channel energy. If this is not an option I would go with the Sun domain if the campaign is going to be undead heavy, if not the Fire domain isn't too bad. [/QUOTE]
