I'm whipping up a 1st level herald caller, and intending to base it on a reach build. As far as I can tell, the campaign doesn't require super optimization, so being somewhat well-rounded is viable, but I do (of course) want to be competent.

It's a 25 point buy. I'll be a CG human, using a long spear, getting medium armor proficiency and combat reflexes at level 1, and taking the Luck domain. I very rarely play clerics, but I'm envisaging a summoner with support buffs/heals who can back up the front-liners and get regular AoOs in a 10' radius. Given that, I imagine I don't need to totally pump Wis.

Given the role(s) I'm playing, and the perceived lack of total optimization among the other characters, I'd like to invite comments on the point buy I'm half-settled on as of right now.

S 14, D 14, C 14, I 10, W 15 (17), Ch 13

Obviously, this is a very spread-out point buy. I'm going for broad utility here rather than specializing in one particular area. By level 7-9 some pretty powerful summoning will come online, too. But it feels very weird spreading the points around so much.

Comments? Suggestions? Brutal personal attacks? Tell me what you think.
