goodness, why? if you added the +2 to either the WIS or the CHA, you would get the same numbers and only spend 19 points, so you would have another point to either spend on DEX, CON, or INT - or even jiggle the numbers a little and make WIS or CHA a 16.also looks like a 1st level PC...
and built with... an odd points total.... 19 points? unless he took his +2 racial bump in STR?
Yes half-elf gets a +2 on one ability, which is to STR.
The bloodline is Drow 1/4. I am not a true Half Drow.
20PTS buy:
STR 12 (2PTs) +2 ability from Half Elf????? (help with weapon damage)
DEX 12 (2PTS) (help with saves)
CON 12 (2PTS) (a little health / Saves)
INT 10 (0PTS) (I can't have everything)
WIS 15 (7PTS) (help with cleric abilities / saves)
CHA 15 (7PTS) (help with cleric abilities)

You could squeeze more points putting the +2 elswehere
STr 14(5 points)
dex 12(2 points)
con 13(3 points)
int 10(0 points)
wis 13+2 racial 15(3 points)
cha 15 (7 points)
Mine con is one better because of the allocation difference. Putting the race bump in a high stat gives you more value.

Flame of the Dawnflower only works on scimitars, for some reason you have falcatta written in the trait.Hmm? Ancestral Arms (Falcata)- Half Elf? racial trait?AH! thanks, missed that. Learn something new every day.
So you swapped the Skill Focus bonus feat out for the weapon... works.
But I think the Dawnflower trait only works for scimitars, like Eric Clinenpeel pointed out. so you might want a different trait... Maybe "Killer" or "Dirty Fighter"
GM is ok with the crit hit only Dawnflower trait its only 2 fire damage from only confirm crit. so how often am I going to attack with weapon rarely. hmm??

Your DM doesn't get to make that call. DMs must follow RAW whenever possible in pathfinder society.

Half-Elves: all alernate racial traits except drow-blooded and drow magic are legal for play; all racial subtypes except drow-descended are legal for play; all favored class options are legal for play; all racial archetypes except wild caller are legal for play. For the bonded witch archetype, energy siege shot is replaced with resounding shot (Advanced Player's Guide 238) at 10th level and arcane cannon is replaced with fire brand (Advanced Player's Guide 222) at 14th level under the bonded item weapon entry; all half-elven equipment, magic items, and spells are legal for play; all half-elven feats except Half-Drow Paragon are legal for play.
I don't believe I am mistaken in the statement that there is currently no way to get a drow or half-drow in Pathfinder Society Organized Play.

No, you cannot.
"Half-Elves: all alernate racial traits except drow-blooded and drow magic are legal for play"
I don't understand why you are confused. That's as cut and dry as it gets.
I have Question why did most of you avoided the title of my question??
Because you asked us what color you should paint your car to go faster and showed us a picture with a flat tire and a loose bumper.
Basically you've got some rules elements that need to be sorted out first.

There's one thing that I didn't see clarified that needs to be:
Is this character for Pathfinder Society (organized play) or is this a home game?
THIS implies that it is a PFS character.

As other people seem to be handling the character legality/optimisation issues, I would say that you can't go too far wrong buying some +1 armour, a masterwork shield, and a cloak of resistance +1 (assuming you have the necessary fame or it's on a chronicle). Then save up for something like a ring of protection +1 or a +1 weapon.

This. You appear to desire a melee experience in combat (14 str, falcata discussion). 15 AC is going to get you hurt. A lot. Your dex is very low, so head to the mediun weight armors, magic up the armor, and give yourself a better chance to avoid some damage.

As others have pointed out, you can't be half-drow, your trait doesn't work with you weapon so you should pick something different, and you could spend your build points better. Since you seem to want to focus on front line fighting, I'd recommend this for point buy:
STR 14 (5 pts) +2 racial bump to 16
DEX 12 (2 pts)
CON 13 (3 pts)
INT 10 (0 pts)
WIS 14 (5 pts)
CHA 14 (5 pts)
The 14s in wisdom and charisma are just as good as the 15s you started with, but the strength is better, which is nice for a front line fighter. If you're planning on focusing more on casting at later levels instead of front line fighting, then use the same array, but with the +2 in wisdom, for spellcasting.
Of course, this is all assuming you haven't played the PC at level 2 yet, so you're still eligible to rebuild.
As for the original question of what to spend the cash on, I agree with the suggestion of getting some better armor. For now, get a breastplate, realizing that it'll slow your speed to 20, but it'll up your AC from 15 to 18 for only 200 gold. Once you have 4200 to spend, upgrade to a mithral breastplate, since that's the best you can get while still moving at 30 speed, then spend your next 1000 gp upgrading it to +1 magic.

I always go for the Mithral Agile Breastplate, but I never see it mentioned. It's 200gp more, weighs 2.5 pounds less, and situationally reduces your Armor Check Penalty to 0 (climb checks and jumping). But then I have a lot of characters that are borderline encumbered, and 2.5 pounds makes a difference. With a 14 or 16 strength, it probably doesn't. Still, 200 gp for essentially a +1 climb is the same as you'd pay buying an ioun stone, plus you get the weight and jumping benefits.
That or the GM gave him full gold for high tier and didn't realize he's supposed to calculate out of tier gold.
His character also has a mithral falcate worth 2018 on top of his other listed equipment and the 3166gp. Which means all of his chronicle sheets were probably applied incorrectly. Along with the illegal options used for his build this character is no way PFS legal the way it sits now.
He needs to contact his local VO, or at least the coordinator of the events he is playing in, and do a full audit to fix the errors before playing again.

I don't see where it says he has a mithral falcata. Under equipment it just says falcata. Maybe you misread where it says "MELEE Falcata" in the stat block? Or maybe I missed where the mithral part was listed?
I do agree that the character has some issues, and speaking with his local VO might be a good idea.
PS - mithral falcata auto corrected to mithral cal cats. Is that a type of familiar? I think I want one of those.

If you look at the Character Page for the character on the player's account. In the About section where he has a cut & pasted HeroLab stat block. Under melee and gear section he has a mithral falcate listed.

Ah. I see. He could certainly have a mithral falcata, but not with also having 3,166 gold on hand. Not at level 2, anyway.
If that's meant to be applied against the 3,166 gold, I'd recommend spending the money on something else. I don't think you need the reduced weight, and a mithral weapon has much less benefit than its cost. When talking about 2/3rds of your wealth, a boost to AC or saves will be much more valuable than a lighter weapon that counts as silver.
nosig's link to "Painlord's list of what to buy" is very useful.
Definitely consider:
A Wand of Cure Light Wounds. You can cast it spontaneously, sure, but this is for if you run out, or need those level 1 spells for something else that day.
A Breastplate.
A Backup weapon - an Alchemical Silver Heavy Mace/Morningstar might be good.
A Dagger - for many reasons. Make it Cold Iron just in case for 2gp more.
A Sling - It's free!
A Cloak of Resistance +1 - Cost efficient, failing saves sucks.
Some Holy Water and Alchemist's Fire - Stuff to throw when nothing else seems to work. Works better than harsh language.
