well it's been a long time since i did 3.5, but i'm pretty experienced generally, and i can pick up the rules again quick enough. i tend to prefer something closer on the lines of a battle-cleric (a tanky front-liner) when the system will support it, as opposed to the classic "white mage" type support healer. i'm pst, but that time is fine for me. toss out a link to the game's info to check over, if you're interested.
