I ended up going with a mix build, since we are using a 25 point buy system, and even though many of the Summoning Feats are not available, I still felt I could get value out of Summoning, and playing as a Caster.

I went with the following build. Our DM is letting us rebuild every 5 levels, which came into consideration here, as I can move more towards a caster only Cleric at that time. This is our first campaign between 6 of us real life friends, so he is being very forgiving.

LEVEL: 5 Cleric of Desna
STR: 16
DEX: 14
STA: 14
INT: 7
WIS: 20
CHA: 7

FEATS:Combat Reflexes, Improved INitiative, Spell Focus Conjuration, Augment Summoning.

SKILLS (2 per lvl): Perception (5), Knowledge Religion (5)

DOMAINS: Luck & Travel
TRAITS: Reactionary +2 Initiative, Eyes and Ears of the City +1 Perception, and Perception is a Class Skill.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Previously this build had +2 Str and -2 Wisdom, had power attack, and had Acrobatics trained, and was played as a Reach Combat Cleric. So I feel I can still play him this way, but without staying in melee range as his AC is only 16 with a Mithryl Breastplate. I chose not to go heavy armor yet due to the penalties, specifically to casting.

He will still be using his Longspear, but next rebuild I will go with a shield and a one hander.

SOOO, Any thing I am missing here? I know maintaining the melee capability is a little costly to other stats/skills/strengths, but am I missing anything big?

I read a ton of guides and built a Cleric to be a summon build. But when I tried to give him his feats I couldn't because we are using the core and advanced players guide only, which don't have the good feats for summoning like sacred summons.

So I am starting over and looking for advice on what would be a good fun build using just those two books for source.

The reason for this limitation is we are using Fantasy Grounds and we only have these two books thus far.

Thanks for all advice...

Notes...
Lawful good or neutral good, I'm not good with evil.
I'm very rusty and this is my first campaign since 3.5 or before.
I am starting at level 5.. I played a diff cleric up to 5 that was a reach cleric with 1 channel which sucked at lower levels, but I get to rebuild now that we are 5 and learning.

Role play wise I will build my story around my character, so other than the alignment I am open.
