His earth elemental familiar impacted combats.  His command over certain elementals & plants came in handy.* in our group, oddball characters are called “(my real world name)”-style characters, especially those whose shticks are not immediately apparent.**  Sacred Healing = Use Turn Undead attempt to give FH3 for (1+Cha bonus)rounds in a 60' burst.  CompDiv p. 84.  FWIW, I asked WotC if the PHB2 version was intended to be a replacement for the CompDiv version, and was told that it wasn’t- there was a failure to catch the existence of another feat with the same name in a previous product.</blockquote>
