I need some advice for a character class choice in a new pathfinder game starting up soon.

The party make up is: Life Oracle, Paladin (holy gun), Ninja, Magus. It's one healer, one range and two melee so far.

Can the Magus do nearly all of the spell casting necessary or does the group need a wizard/sorcerer? Would this group do better with another range of front line fighter you think? As long as it's a Pathfinder source it should be acceptable unless it's incredibly obscure.

Thank you in advance

In the past few sessions a party member has been swallowed and killed by giant monsters that like to grapple and eat their prey. Both times the pc 'snack' gets eaten and usually can't do the dmg required to escape (or has a light weapon). The party healer cannot heal them as there is no line of sight and Channel Energy is a burst (won't go through obstructions). The party's level is 7-8ish at the moment.

Dimension door does not work as there is no line of sight. Unless I'm reading that wrong? The only sure fire way I can think of to not to get swallowed (often because the CMB/CMD of giant monsters is ridiculously high)is to always cast an Enlarge spell on melee characters before a fight.

Can you think of any magic items/spells that would save a character that's been swallowed? I know there is an Armor enchantment that can be added which causes monster nausea...yuck...but the Fortitude save is DC 14ish? It seems any giant creature would laugh at that kind of Fort DC. Items that can turn people ethereal or use teleportation, seems to high for the current party level as well. I was just curious if anyone had any ideas as this situation seems to keep happening to this group. :)

Hey all, I'm pretty new to Pathfinder and I need a new character to bring into an existing campaign. The character would need to fit into an established group (lvl 7-8).

The group composition is currently:

Samurai
Monk
Summoner
Rogue
Wizard

There was a cleric but they are apparently out of the picture now. I've been reading that Clerics are not optimal though? Any PF core, and PF published works are useable for character creation. Thanks in advance.
