Alright so heres the deal. I started a campaign with my friends recently and i kinda had an idea for my character and it didnt pan out how i wanted so i kinda scrapped it after 2 levels of fighter. Originally i was going to try and be a dervish but it took a lot and wouldnt end up playing how i wanted it to. At about the same time that i decided that build idea for my character isnt what i wanted anymore, my group added another player who would be taking on more of a tank role playing a barbarian.
I was the main "tank" up until that point and we had been playing a module in which the entire group had ended up taking WAY more damage than any of us expected. Our only healer character was the character our DM was running with us. So i decided to take on the role of healing and did some looking around and landed on favored soul as a healing class because i much prefered spontaneous casters to prepared and i was too dumb to find the "Spontaneous Divine Casters" ACF.
Now I also asked for some homebrewing on the class as a whole because i saw its obvious flaws so (with my DM's permission) i was given one domain without getting the perk that comes with it (just the list), and i also sacrificed the good fortitude save for the ability to turn/rebuke undead (mostly to give me access to divine feats that actually are ok).
So now i'm sitting here with this character:
Figher 2/Favored Soul 1
Draconic Lesser Tiefling
Lawful Evil
Deity: Bhaal (god of death, destruction, evil)
Domain: Death
STR: 19
DEX: 18
CON: 17
INT: 16
WIS: 12
CHA: 18
Feats: Draconic Wings (mostly for looks, eventual use if i want to spend the feat), Weapon Group (Exotic Swords) (i use a bastard sword), Power Attack, Cleave, and Versatile Spellcaster
Now since my deity's weapon is a dagger i'm going to be swapping the wep focus class features for the temp. hp ACF for Favored Soul.
But other than that i have no clue what to do with this character anymore so i need help with ideas. I'm fine moving to more of a caster role but I also wouldnt mind staying in the middle of fights (which is why i picked FS cause i heard they were good at it). I just leveled to level 4 so i need to figure this out.
P.S. I know all about DMM and persist cheese and i will probably end up heading in that direction for at least persisted Divine Power but i cant get a good character concept.
P.P.S I also looked at becoming a True Necromancer and it seemed really cool and fun but i determined i already had too many useless feats and wasted levels to make that effective.
P.P.P.S I forgot to mention my DM has only really said that Psionics are off-limits. Almost all other 3.5 books are open to be used.
