I don't think the Healer stacks with cleric spell progressions. It is another base class not a PrC.
I thought so. Thanks for letting me know before I went to the FLGS.

Who is your character's Diety?
My PC doesn't follow a stock diety from a WotC product. He follows Bonharri, a Lesser Goddess from _Touched by the Gods_ from Atlas Games. (The writeup for that goddess talks about a group of young kids who find the text for an diety whose priesthood has long since died off. The book included the full portfolio of the goddess, so I decided to make my PC as if that priesthood never died. ie, I'm not playing a young kid. I'm largely ignoring the organization in TbtG, and simply using the custom goddess... because I dig the concept of her portfolio.)
In hindsight, being a priest of Pelor might have paid off better.

Your best bet in being a generic healer-type would be to stick with the healing feats in the Complete Divine: Augment Healing, Reach Spell, Chain Spell (not in CD), maximize spell, Sacred Healing, etc. and just go straight Cleric.
I think you are right.
I definately have Augment Healing. That is a *very* useful feat.
Doesn't Chain Spell require the spell range be greater than touch? Unfortunately, that rules out most Cure * Wounds spells.
As for my PC, I'm playing a 5th level Cleric, 2nd level Chirugeon*. I've got the Healing Domain, Augument Healing, and the Greater Status spell (from the Book of Exalted Deeds).
* The Chirugeon is from a big book o' prestige classes that I have. (I think Mongoose wrote it back in the 3.0 era - because Scry is one of my now useless class skills.
) It's a five level PrC that grants additional perks for the Heal skill, and allows a few magical perks... like one or two point bonus for each heal spell that is spontaneously cast.
I'm less interested in Reach Feat considering that the Greater Status spell provides some significant ranged healing support. (Only up to Cure Moderate wounds can go through the Greater Status link... but that happens to heal 23hp on average for my character).
Either Maximize and Empower Spell are on my "to buy" list. Shortly after that, Divine Metamagic will get picked up. I had to pick up the Extra Turning feat to enter into the Chiurgeon class, and my PC has a 15 Charisma. I've got plenty of turn attempts that I can blow on the Divine Metamagic feat. Unfortunately, that will be five levels down the road...assuming I don't pick up a different feat to be able to qualify for a PrC.
Hmmm... sound like I've minmaxed my Healer as far as I can go.
Thanks for the feedback!
