Putting together a party of Dragon-themed characters, and so far we have a Dragon Totem Barbarian, a Dragon Style-using Monk, and a Draconic bloodline Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple...
But we need a healer, and I am having trouble thinking of something appropriate...
Any ideas?
Edit: I looked at the Dragon Shaman Druid archetype, but it kinda bugs me that it is much more Lizard-themed than Dragon specifically, and pretty weak too. So I would prefer something different...

Cleric with the Scalykind (Dragon) subdomain? It's on the PFSRD. Venomous Stare is REALLY good, and you can reflavor it as a kind of Frightening Presence.
*edit: Linkified for your convenience. Consider taking another domain which aids your draconic style, such as an elemental domain, the travel domain, or perhaps the Ferocity domain.
Hmm, intriguing... I see there's even a Dragon subdomain for it, so maybe a Cleric of Dahak, with Scalykind (dragon) and something else as my domains... hmmmmmmmm *brain whirring*
Thanks for the heads up.
Or a dragon worshipping cleric
Or just make the Sorcerer handle it with Infernal healing.
Level 1 spell, heals 10 HP
Extend it as a level 2 spell, heal 20 HP
The greater version, level 4 spell heals 40 HP
Extend that and heal 80 with a level 5.
its not a bad way to go.
For some reason on the pathfinder wiki it doesn't have scalykind as one of Apsus domains, but it does have the dragon subdomain, so i figure it must just be an error... pretty sure in my ISWG he has scalykind domain....
So I'm thinking a Cleric of Apsu with Scalykind (Dragon sub) and Travel (Trade sub) domains, with Eldritch Heritage: Linnorm...
Hmmm... cool.
Sorceror (Dragon/celestial crossblooded) / Paladin (Hospitaler)/Dragon diciple
Or cleric of Apsu or Life Oracle instead of pala
A witch with a pseudodragon or faerie dragon familiar, ofcourse that might be a problem at low level but your GM probably can accomodate you a bit having it as a basic lizard type familiar at the lower levels till it matures possibly. Any character with decent charisma can take eldritch heritage to gain a dragon familiar regardless.
Oracle of flame could easily function as a dragon shaman focused on a fire breathing dragon, possibly get eldritch heritage for dragon bloodline.
Dragon druid is not so terrible, you might want to fluff some spells and class abilities up to make them more draconic though.
If you have a liberal GM you might convince him to allow a pseudodragon Oracle, or possibly a faerie dragon exchanging sorcerer levels for orcale ones, though neither probably is suitable for a party before level 3.
If you can use 3.5 material, the Dragon Shaman they had can be an effective healer. I don't recall what level you actually get their lay-on-hands-like ability, but before that, you can get an aura that heals all allies in it up to half their max HP, but it can always be going. They also get a breath weapon.
I would highly recommend it if your DM will allow it. It's a well built class that really lets you contribute in almost every scenario.
I recently finished a campaign where I played a dragon shaman from level 1 through level 14. It was a really fun character. It gets a double-strength 3.5 version of lay on hands ability at 6th level. At higher levels, it can also remove negative conditions. It's a pretty good buffer, has a nice trump-card breath weapon, makes an excellent face, and can tank pretty well.
Dragon Shaman sounds cool, but no 3.5 allowed.
Thank you very much for all the ideas everybody, itis been a great help :)
