I'm running a swashbuckling, piratey-campaign. My party is missing a competent cleric. Well, seeing as they will be aboard a ship, and the ship has other crewmembers than just them, I have no issues with throwing in the occasional NPC with a purpose.
I've designed to cover their divine casting needs, they are getting a favored soul. Now, some of my house rules, first: Planetouched races are templates. They have their usual +1 LA, but they apply to a base race. So you're either a human or elf aasimar, with the advantages of both aasimar and your base race, for instance (ability score modifiers or penalties do not stack.) We're on a fairly high 40 point buy. This is a human-Aasimar favored soul of Sune, Chaotic Neutral. I don't want her to be dominant in combat, period. I want her to be competent, but never spectacular. So I gave her base stats of 14/14/14/14/15/15 on the 40 point buy, then aasimar pumped it up to 14/14/14/14/17/17. She's a passable favored soul, level 4. With a more "focused" (minmaxed) point buy choice, she could be better, but that's not what I'm going for here.
Now...feats. I need 3 of them.
Augment Healing is an obvious one for what I have her doing. Any others you'd suggest? Her deity's favored weapon is the whip, if that helps (since she gets proficiency and weapon focus automatically in it.) Keep in mind her deity (Sune = Beauty, Love, Passion), and the fact that she'll be on the deck of a ship much of the time. Any particular divine spells she should make sure she takes?
