D&D 3E/3.5 Need Help;Cleric of Mystra; new to 3.5

[ashockney]

There have been some great Dragon magazine articles that detailed out some sample "class combinations" that would better represent the "specialized" clerics of Faiths and Pantheons days (2nd Ed FR).

The other great supplement to check out on the holy is The Book of the Righteous. Very well done.

This cleric should concentrate on his spellcasting abilities - even if he fights, he uses magic to do it, and shouldn't go in himself (or buff himself up a lot). I still think the Theurge would be a good Idea here (so you would get to cast both types of magic. And the more magic, the better). If you want to stay cleric, think about the Dweomerkeeper from Faiths and Pantheons. They're Mystra's special priests.

Try also getting a hold of the 2E, Faiths & Avatars, as it has some good background material and is available as a cheap PDF from RPGNow.com.

Here's some other info from the 'net (but beware of pop-ups):
