Our party just completed (at long last) RotRL. So once again it is my turn to play!
Everyone in our small group has decided to mix up their traditional roles.
Our general rogue player has moved on to being a Paladin. Our general fighter took the plunge in to rogue goodness and is planning a bard (archaeologist) halfling, and our general cleric (who for whatever reason has always built heal-bots) has moved onto being the tank like Paladin of Sarenrae. Then there is me. Undecided as always.
I am under the impression that the GM does not want 'purpose' built to campaign characters. I believe this is the reason the two campaigns chosen are so far apart in the worlds of designs and implementation. On the bright side, they are two of the best (IMHO), so almost guaranteed to have a good time.
On with the crunch.
It appears we need both divine and arcane support.
Build Rules:
15 Point Build.
Core Races only.
Core or APG classes. (GM considers Gunslingers to be the antithesis of fantasy RP, and has thus banned all UC classes)
Any Archetype (Except Scarred Witch Doctor, Synthesist Summoner and Master Summoner).
2 Traits (Any Paizo source, including Ultimate Campaign.) Option to reserve 1 trait to be used as a campaign trait, but if one is reserved, it MUST be used as a campaign trait.
The other req's are all fluff for the most part (traits have to be justified by background, etc.)

Hmmm...
Two paladins and a bard...
Healing is covered there as is status effect removal and ability damage recovery (useful if it's CC).
I think what you are short of is long range artillery and battlefield control. Oracle can indeed do that. You could of course go the traditional Sorc/Wiz route but I suspect you have already thought of that otherwise you wouldn't be here.
I'd recommend an archery based Inquisitor of Erastil. That fits in nicely with the group as it stands and fits in nicely with both campaigns. Plus it gives you a ranged character which you seem to be lacking, a skill bunny that complements the bard rather than steps on his shtick, and complements the healing of the paladins quite nicely.
