Life Oracles can contribute healing for a small party. say 4-6 members. assuming they are built around it.
they are literally the best class for healing, if all you care about, is healing
they are the fighter of healbots
the best recommendation for houserules, i recommend, is to let them poach domain spells as spells known as if they were part of the cleric list from any of the gods that favor their mystery
so a Life oracle of Sarenrae could poach spells from Sarenrae's domain list
while a Life Oracle of Pharasma, could poach spells from Pharasma's domain list
but that is merely a houserule series
I do more than just heal, ma'am.Life Oracles can contribute healing for a small party. say 4-6 members. assuming they are built around it.

i saw one combat option that didn't have to do with healing or condition removal. a spell derived from a specific splatbook curse, that serves the whole purpose of negligible AoE damage that most foes laugh off.
if you discounted the blackened curse, all your character could do was heal, remove conditions, prepare against conditions, and use some fairly basic cantrips that serve no true combat relevant purpose.
most of the skills were noncombat oriented
but other than a few socially oriented skill checks outside of combat, it was an almost pure healbot by a huge portion.
the only in combat non-healing option it had, came from a curse choice. and happens to be an easily resisted spell.
Command.
i didn't notice that, but even at level 3. it isn't too hard to make a DC 15 will save unless your fighter companion completely dumped wisdom.
It's all about knowing your enemy.
true. but how often do you encounter fighters who dump wisdom that low?
even on 15 points, it isn't hard to see a fighter with 12 wis.
a 3 point warrior, possible enough. but how often do you run into 3 point warriors?
Like both I and Amatsucan pointed out, I never said the Dwarf FELL.My story was not in response to yours. Mine was actually experienced at table.
Sorry, you make assumptions that the friend was unconscious. I did not see that in the post, just that the next hit would probably kill him. Please read the posts.I'm sorry, I did not realize you were responding to me. I was not responding to the post your are referencing. Please don't make an ass of yourself.
With your response, the only one making an ass of themselves is you TriOmegaZero. Seriously, your response was completely inappropriate.

Hm...in my Pathfinder campaign, we have a druid and I intend to play a bard, but no cleric/oracle, and therefore no primary healer. Technically, with two casters that can use CLW wands without making checks and two above-average charisma rogues with UMD, we have tht covered, but it isn't a primary force.
In the 4e game I'm in now, we have a warlord who focuses on healing spells and our paladin is pretty on the ball. Usually though, I don't see clerics too, too often.
