Min/Max Character

[Akhkharu]

I may be starting a new character tomorrow, if we play, and would like some assistance with min/maxing this character.
Any race and core class from the PhB with a limit of 7 levels. PrC from any Dungeons & Dragon's book. Oh, and can't be evil.
Stats are:
18 17 17 16 14 12

Party consists of so far:
Barbarian3/Fighter5
Sorcerer 8
Rogue 5/Ranger 1/Fang of Lolth1
Cleric 8

Have fun!

Any idea of what class, class combination, or role your character would fill?

With those stats, you'd make a great farmer: 18 in Wisdom, 17 in Int (for skill points), etc. If the DM allows custom 2/2 feats (like Alertness) and Skill Focus +3, you could get Profession (farmer) up to +23. Alternatively, you could take 3 levels of wizard and CWI to make an amulet of Profession (farmer) +27 for only 18,225 gp and 1,458 gp. With 10 ranks and a +2 from the (normal) Skill Focus, that's +43...

now that is the type of farmer that aeriates his soil with ankhegs an dumber hulks.

The party doesn't have much in the way of fighters, only the barbarian/fighter really, cleric is no good in combat, has never been able to hit really so I was going to try either a straight druid or monk then thought about barbarian and get into the bear warrior from OA.

that's +43...

Holy #### That is one good farmer !! Heck I would go with that one, for real !!

The best trick for munching is to take a few first levels in front-loaded classes and supplement the best with arcane/divine/psionic, which dominate at mid-high levels. Try to complement their abilities.

e.g.
Paladin1/TelepathX
Telepath is IMO the best psionic subclass, and the paladin level allows you heavy armour (no psionic restriction) and Cha bonus to saves.

Monk1/WizardorSorcererX
Purely for evasion, save buffing and wisdom bonus when not armoured.

ETC.

Ferchrissakes, farmers are so weak! Go for an Herbalist.

Technically speaking, Fangs of Lolth can be CN or N. I would really like to see just what this "non-evil" campaign is like, though.
