I don't care if the GM is targeting casters or not -- the party that allows their sole healer to drop deserves what they get. :) As party Alchemist, I carry potions or extracts of cure serious, remove blindness, neutralize poison, and remove curse with me at all times - for the cleric's use!

He is not the only healer. Both the ranger and the paladin are backup healers. What he is the only one who can bring someone back from the dead.
The spell isnt in their spell list (they cant cast spells above lvl 4).
That was my point. Both the paladin and ranger can use wands and scrolls. Now since they do not have higher level spells there are some spells they will not be able to use. But both of them are able to heal especially the paladin. A paladin gets lesser restoration as a first level spell and has lay on hands and channel positive energy as class abilities.
Some things are only able to be done by specific classes and that is the way it should be. Every class should have things that only they can do. Bringing back the dead is what full divine casters are for.
I guess i should do some reading on spells.
This. Please, please, this. If you're going to play a caster, you need to read over your spell list thoroughly. Including spells that you're not familiar or that you "don't think sound good." We have a cleric in my group who never casts spells other than the cure line/remove line/restoration spells because he doesn't know what most of the cleric spells do, refuses to read his spell list, and when he does pick up the core rulebook, he only reads the short description of his spells and then says, "That doesn't sound useful." As a result, he spends most of the time in combat hiding in the corner and taking total defense, until someone is almost dead, in which case he'll creep out and cure them. But heaven forbid he uses any buffing/debuffing spells, or even tries to hit something with his weapon.
Sounds like you need less advice on what you specifically you need to do and more what you need to do with the class as a whole.
It also never hurts to get a friendly cleric at a nearby temple to owe you one (or two, or three, or seventeen...). It won't help while you're "in the field", but if your party can beat a retreat, they can get you fixed up there. Maybe even run a line of credit with them, where they get some treasure from your party from time to time, and use that to offset the costs of spellcasting later if you need it.

You compare devils with insurance companies?
This is offending.
OP:
1) hide a scroll somewhere
2) ask 1-2 group mebers to raise the UMD skill.

To the less Lawful Evil of the two parts.
You know which is the one.
Well i happend to be in the insurance business, and while a life insurance doesn´t actually keep you alive, a scroll of contingency will.
It isn´t cheap, but losing you in combat can get way more expensive. And to give your group added incentive to pay the scroll - if your entire group gets killed, you will come back - for added effect give it several triggers:
1. You get raised immediately if your party is still alive
2. After several minutes if the room is clear of enemies
3. After a day even if enemies are still in the room.
Contingency
School evocation; Level sorcerer/wizard 6
CASTING
Casting Time at least 10 minutes; see text
Components V, S, M (quicksilver and an eyelash of a spell-using creature), F (ivory statuette of you worth 1,500 gp)
EFFECT
Range personal
Target you
Duration 1 day/level (D) or until discharged
DESCRIPTION
You can place another spell upon your person so that it comes into effect under some condition you dictate when casting contingency. The contingency spell and the companion spell are cast at the same time. The 10-minute casting time is the minimum total for both castings; if the companion spell has a casting time longer than 10 minutes, use that instead. You must pay any costs associated with the companion spell when you cast contingency.
The spell to be brought into effect by the contingency must be one that affects your person and be of a spell level no higher than one-third your caster level (rounded down, maximum 6th level).
The conditions needed to bring the spell into effect must be clear, although they can be general. In all cases, the contingency immediately brings into effect the companion spell, the latter being "cast" instantaneously when the prescribed circumstances occur. If complicated or convoluted conditions are prescribed, the whole spell combination (contingency and the companion magic) may fail when triggered. The companion spell occurs based solely on the stated conditions, regardless of whether you want it to.
You can use only one contingency spell at a time; if a second is cast, the first one (if still active) is dispelled.
How much would it cost to get an NPC cleric to read a cleric spell from a scroll? I know it costs a lot of money to get an NPC to cast a spell like Raise Dead, but if you already have the spell on the scroll and all he has to do is read it, I would think you could save a lot of money.
Our party has a scroll of Raise Dead prepared by the cleric. The Paladin carries it, and if necessary, the Rogue or Bard can try to read it with Use Magic Device.
Hi,
Im trying to figure out how i can get a life insurance for my cleric. The rest of the group have a cheap life insurance with a raise dead scroll. The other characters are: rouge, ranger, paladin and wizzard, all lvl 7.
Is there some magic item that can help me (Salve of raise dead or something)?
Not as a base item, but much as there are Wondrous Items like Elixir of Love, you can have someone Craft a one-shot wondrous item of Raise Dead -- though it'll be painful expensive.
