Building this for a friend who likes playing but not building so much.
Human Cloistered Favored Soul 8 (custom - Cloistered does to FS essentially what it does to Cleric)
Str14 Dex16 Con14 Int12 Wis8 Cha18
-Lvl 4 and 8 points into Cha
-Freebie item of +4 Cha
-+2 items of Dex and Con
Adjusted stats: Str10 Dex18 Con16 Int12 Wis13 Cha24
Houserule: Trade energy resistances or WeapFoc+WeapSpec for Turn/Rebuke attempts. I'll also be negotiating to trade the other one for Cleric domains.
Build plan: Currently, I'm currently trading WF+WS for Rebuke Undead to make this guy a secondary necromancer (worships Wee Jas). Offensively he'll be focusing mostly on ray spells and such that don't allow a save, and using heavy metamagic to boost damage. If he gets in melee he uses Concentration to cast defensively, and carries a crossbow and a morningstar for backup.
The rest of the casting will be buffs, walls of X, a healing spell or two, some utility, and undead minion-related.
Feats: (would love feedback on this)

Questions:
-I remember reading some tricks to get arcane spells added to my divine list, but can't seem to find them now. Can someone remind me? I know the Anyspells and Doc Roc's War Weaver builds at http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152070 but those are a bit complicated for the player I'm building this for.
-Given that this character will have medium-high AC, three good saves, and massive Charisma, a level of Paladin of Tyranny for Divine Grace might be worth it at the cost of one caster level. Thoughts?
-What does everyone think of Corpse Crafting from Libris Mortis? I'm not sure how optimal it is but it looks fun at atmospheric and fairly strong.
