Wow, Touch of Health is really inefficient! If you wanted to heal my character, you'd be better off letting him tear you up with his claws and then Body Adjustmenting yourselfErekose13 said:

The "magebane" enchantment is from Complete Arcane.
If someone could double check my AC calculation -- I think it's right, but I don't usually have that many different modifiers at play.

Overdue answer
Question, Avan was originally to be a cleric (thus the 18 wis which swapped to cha) but as
usual I completely changed my char concept half way through creation.
The feats are to allow me to be fire support at the back. Will be taking as many ranged touch offensive spells as I can. When spells run out I turn to the bow. With only 40 odd hit points and not many healers am not too keen on getting into melee.
All, am now thinking about going back to the original cleric idea to round out the parties a bit, would not be able to post until at least tomorrow as my books are still at Dazzas after Friday night.

Day late and a dollar short, but I thought I'd throw this character out there anyway. If nothing else, she was fun to make!

Appearance: Kori is a small, somewhat plump woman with dark brown hair and a snub-nosed face sprinkled with freckles. Her eyes are a mossy green, and her face often shows a gentle smile. She dresses simply, in a buff-colored robe, soft hat, simple shoes and a sash, with a blue linen bag slung around her shoulder and a dark brown cloak over all. She carries a quarterstaff, and has a water flask slung at her hip. Out of a belt pouch poke a stick and some twigs.
Personality: Kori is deliberate and persistent, sizing up a situation with care, then acting in the best interests of all those involved, whether they know it or not. She cares not if it is two women squabbling over a cabbage, or two noblemen having a duel, she tries to apply the ideas of natural harmony and beauty on a world often scarred with ugly words and actions. She uses the natural elements themselves as instruments of her chastisement. Her perfect representation of the elements is the candle, and she often has at least one burning in any room or at any campsight.
Background: Kori was born close to the woodlands, in a fairly large town where the amenities of a large community were merged with respect for nature. Kori often spent many hours in the various gardens around the town, rearranging the rocks and placing them for the best aesthetic affect. She loved the feel of earth and stone on her hands, and she felt the whispers of power in even the most innocuous of creatures an objects.
There were others in this town that had felt the same way, and young Kori found herself under the tutelage of Torvaden, an elderly wu jen who wanted to pass his secrets on to another of his spirit. She learned by watching and by being, as Torvaden would say. She would lay on the earth and meditate to become one with it, she would work at the forge and mines to see the power of metal, swim in rivers to learn the versatility of water, walk amongst woodlands and carve in the carpenter’s shop to embrace the feel of wood, and watch the dancing flames of candles to see both the stillness and fury of flame.
Torvaden had a much more esoteric art that he felt complimented his training, that of the chandler mage, the candle caster. The candle represented the combination of elements, the earth in the wax, wood in the wick, fire in the flame, metal in the pigments, and water in the running wax. While Kori had been experimenting with pottery and ceramics as another combining theme of the elements, her master’s candles offered the young girl a fascinating and unusual avenue to channel her abilities.
She knew from trader’s tales that few places, if any, were as pleasant at her hometown. Most, in fact, were rife with ugliness, abuse of the land, and discord. Kori realized that while she felt she was reaching a perfect accord with the elements, something was holding her back. She was young, and only had seen the tiniest corner of her world. And nothing could truly be in harmony while the rest of the unseen world warred with itself. Taking with her her knowledge of beauty and power of nature, she stepped into a larger world…
