I am about to run a campaign and it appears no one actually want to be a cleric or healer. In order to make up for this I was planning on just including some more health potions in loot but I worry that might not be quite enough.
Are there any items I could give the party for healing and such other than just potions?
Should I have healer npc that avoids combat tag along with the party to help them?
Any other ideas?
wand of cure light wounds. and pally/witch/ranger/druid/bard/alchemist/inquisitor/etc can use it automatically, and a ninja or other PC with decent UMD has a pretty good chance even at 1st... your PCs would almost have to try to purposefully create a party where there was nobody who could use it!
Good idea Nate, we have a bard and a necromancer so i'm sure they could use it. Thanks for the advice.
I was thinking of maybe an item that has charges per day of curing wounds. Like it could use cure mod so many time or cure light a few more and each uses the daily charges
If you wanted to go a little less conventional you could use the vigor/wounds system from UCombat (only for the PCs, monsters and NPCs keep the usual damage system for simplicity).
Change the heal skill so that 1/day it can heal 1 pt of wound or 3/day heal 1 pt/lvl of vigor.
I've never heard of that system. Is there a place I can read more about it
Starting at level 5 but doing a fast leveling system. They are also being slightly financed by a moderately powerful organization so giving them an item or two would make sense

Have a look at Wounds and Vigor in the Ultimate Combat variant rules section.
