Actually, I rather like the cleric, provided you take Animal as one of your domains. Why? Because you get stronger summons (you get the Summon Creature II creature when you cast Summon Creature I). The Healing Domain gives you stronger healing magic earlier, and Sun gives you stronger undead turning abilities. Take Weapon Proficiency-Martial and you can back up your summons quite nicely. Unless you add some levels in thief, you need to make Tomi your henchman (to be able to open chests and disarm traps). Of course, that's true of any character. That's why I wish it would let you have at least 2 henchmen, so you could have Tomi and one other one. Oh well...
