Non-Combat Cleric

[JiffyPopTart]

In the interests of creating an "old man smart wizardy cleric" character I have decided that I would like to use the non-combat version of the cleric. I seem to recall at one time or other reading a write-up in one of the WoTC of such a beast but for the life of me I cannot remember where it was.

I DID find the blurb for the Cloistered Cleric in Unearthed Arcana, but I was thinking there was a version that was even more wizardy and less priesty.

Am I on drugs or is there something else out there I missed?

Thanks
DS

Have you tried the adept from the DMG?

Or perhaps the githyanki ghustil (healer PrC who uses the Astral Plane for spells) from Dungeon 100?

I don't know much about them, but could the shugenja (oriental adventures elemental divine casters) and spirit shaman (both from Complete Divine I think) be what you are looking for?

As a last resort, you might use the Bard (3.0 version) or a domain wizard from Unearthed Arcana.

Edit: Could you have been talking about the Favored Soul or the healer from the Minis Handbook?
