I have a half-elf witch that I haven't played but could set up for this. Of note, I've played a healing witch in another game and it's hard. Putting your resources into healing with a witch means you don't do anything else, so there's a lot of standing around.
You could go with a paladin.
Nicoleta would have lots of fun pulling his/her chain. ;)
If the party and DM are ok with it - paladins are sometimes a sticking point for some players! But I would be fine with trying that too.
Either way is fine. One thing that can make the hedge witch nice is using your familiar to cast touch spells. Paladins can certainly hold their own in combat. My personal favorite divine class is the Life Oracle.
Paladins are ok. This group is not very law friendly and paladins tend to respect the law. Right now the group is leaning towards charges of B&E, trespassing, child endangerment, murder, impersonating a law official. That is in the first couple of posts. Just saying it might not be fun for the paladin...lol
Garran doesn’t trust law enforcement, but a paladin of the right deity might not be bad - Sarenrae or Shelyn, perhaps. A deity that’s a little less hard-@$$ than some of them. Part of the story I want to tell with Garran is about his actual redemption from his past, which might make Sarenrae a good choice.
That being said a healing witch or life oracle could be good. If you just want to make a Witch who has the capability to heal, but isn’t the main thing, that’s fine, too.
I think it might be hard to work a paladin into this group. It's possible, but Alistair is right, we're off to a rocky start vis a vis the law.
I'm a fan or oracles, myself. Even a non-life oracle can be a decent healer along with bringing other bonuses.
Witches can be cool. Even if you just had the healing hex and clw or infernal healing as a spell, you could still do other stuff and not focus on healing. Clerics of course can also be fun, depending on the deity.
Hey guys, I'm being sent out of town from Aug8-Aug15. I hope to still have internet access, but I can't guarantee that. I will do my best to keep up on my games, though I expect my posting rate will drop. My apologies in advance. Please bot me if needed.

Currently leaning toward just a bog-standard cleric of Sarenrae.

Hello again. I am prepared to begin.
25 point buy, 400 gp of gear, 1st level, one campaign trait + one additional trait, no background skills.
Alika is a cleric of Sarenrae, but since it looks like the group has a strong front line already, she is a roaming exorcist. This means she is not gonna be standing in the front lines most of the time if she can help it, though she can help out with her scimitar while one of the serious fighters is keeping an enemy busy. She has the Healing domain so we should have no shortage of healing spells. She can also serve as a face character (Diplomacy +8) and has Heal skill for mundane usages.
As we proceed she will likely advance into doing some magic item creation (if the DM allows) and improving her channeling. Might also pick up Dodge and/or Toughness at some point to help with survivability.
If you're still interested in background ties ...
Since Alika is Varisian and a healer, it would be conceivable that Nicoleta would have called on her services on behalf of her mother on many occasions (she'd probably OD'ed at least once and gotten beaten up by a john more than once).
Sure! That sounds like a good connection.
Also, looks like I will need to get some inflict spells prepared unless/until you get that dhampir feat that lets you get half healing from positive energy.
ALSO also, this is not my final choice of picture for my avatar, but their avatar-picker page is currently busted and making it very hard to select one. There's an inspirational picture linked in my alias in the "Homepage URL" section.
Ok Alika I will send you a message after I look over you submission on how I plan to introduce you. (It will be soon).
No special feats.
She's got some potions of inflict wounds, but once those are gone, she'll be at the mercy of an understanding and capable healer. ;)
No problem, I'll keep it in mind. Also I think my Rebuke Death domain ability will work on you regardless, as it is not explicitly positive energy!
I will be posting as soon as I can. Running behind tonight.
I will get a post up late tonight/early tomorrow
I am back from vacation but not fully unpacked...Will be back to regular posting in the next day or two.
So can I post now?
Yes, at least for now I can. Woo-hoo!
Can I?
EDIT: Finally! I've been trying since Saturday!
EDIT 2: Never mind. Got the same error in Gameplay.
EDIT 3: Okay, so it didn't work after I previewed it, but works if I just hit Submit. Got it.
Yep, confirmed.
I can post if I don't hit the Preview button.
Alika wanted me to let folks know that she's still unable to post.
That's okay - I've been unable to get to the website for the past 3 days!
I'm back!
still here
*raises hand*
"Present!"
Here...
Test
Testing
There we go! Oh I can see my first test now too. Ok I plan on trying to get us back on track late monday night
Every time I have checked since Friday, the maintenance thing was up. It just went away for me.
Yeah, it was up for short time Sunday, but then back down again until just a bit ago.
Hey folks, A dear friend of mine died and I will be traveling to attend a funeral over the next few days. I'll check in when I can.
Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Travel safe.
I'm here, I'm just waiting for my turn.
Did we lose someone?
Dunno, I'm still here.
Still here, but getting nervous. :/
Here!
also still here
Let us give it till the beginning of next week and then we will discuss our next step. I hope that our DM is just have some RL issues and will be back by then.
They may have gotten out of the habit of checking the site regularly with all the downtime. I've got a couple players in my PbPs who did that. Hopefully they'll be back.
hey folks, I pm'd Esmeranda. She's still around but her posts aren't showing up
That is good to know that she is still here but not good that her post are not working.
I had a post I made in one of my games last week that I just discovered had disappeared this morning. I empathize mightily.
I will be out of the country for a week and a half starting tomorrow evening. I'll have my phone and should be able to use Wi-Fi, but will be quite busy. Please bot me if necessary.
have fun. I got another PM from Esmeranda. Still not working. She's contacted Paizo but they may be too busy to do much about it at the moment. If anyone has any suggestions, I can forward them or you can send them to her directly. I'm really hoping this doesn't fall apart
I am not sure...maybe she can play the game by way of PMs. Someone gets them and cuts and post it in the game thread....maybe. I do not know.
Any word on a time frame for this game to continue? What are our options?
