At 11th level, you do not lose a hit point when you take a standard action while disabled. You do not need to meet the prerequisite to receive the Diehard feat.

It looks right although Resiliency is a terrible Revelation which will rarely do anything for you at all. I would recommend either picking up War Sight or Skill at Arms. If the latter then you can afford to sacrifice some dexterity to boost probably your strength.

On skills I would take diplomacy over acrobatics. Diplomacy is the second most common skill rolled in PFS, its a class skill for you and you are naturally good at it with a Charisma focus. Acrobatics however is a skill you will suck at as you lack much dex and ACP's will reduce you even further. Opposition CMD scales faster than your skill bonus and from level 4 onwards you can just have Grace is you need to move about.

I do think you need to decide if you want to focus more strongly on casting or melee. If casting then your Charisma wants to be at least 16 pre racial and you can lose some strength If melee you want to go the opposite way and put the half elf bonus into it. A 14 Cha will be fine at level 1 if you want to be melee primary, you will only need a +2 charisma headband by level 10 to be able to access all your spells for the entirety of your PFS career.

You are currently missing a curse and your level 0 and 1 spells. I would also consider an archetype. If sticking to melee dual cursed will be very strong, battle has plenty of useful revelations for you and dual cursed gives you more. If favouring caster then spirit guide is excellent as it gives you access to a wide range of new spells.

I dislike the feat Extra Revelation...you gain them later on anyway. I went with Skill-at-arms at 1st level and Weapon Mastery at 3rd, since by then I had a good idea what weapons will be around in this campaign/DM.

For race I almost always pick human, as all divine casters are feat-starved already.

Stats are not unlike mine, except that I start to think by now that I should have dropped DEX to 12 and raised WIS a little. But then, maybe that mithril full plate happens one day and I can lay my hands on it before the paladin does...:)

Trait bonuses don't stack.

What Jaunt said. Reactionary or Elven Reflexes, not both.

Thank you both that's what I was wanting to know.

Do you know of a way to get another initiative bonus using trait that will stack?

Also added curse above.

Going to keep the stats the way they are.
Not going to wear heavy armor or use anything other than the weapons I have above.

I'm sticking with Half-Elf, I play a human in real life. :)

As for Revelations I'm taking:

Weapon Mastery (Ex): Select one weapon with which you are proficient. You gain Weapon Focus with that weapon. At 8th level, you gain Improved Critical with that weapon. At 12th level, you gain Greater Weapon Focus with that weapon. You do not need to meet the prerequisites to receive these feats.

Still open on what the other one is.

Revelations I will not be taking:

Skill at Arms (Ex): You gain proficiency in all martial weapons and heavy armor.

Iron Skin (Su): Once per day, your skin hardens and takes on the appearance of iron, granting you DR 10/adamantine. This functions as stoneskin, using your oracle level as the caster level. At 15th level, you can use this ability twice per day. You must be at least 11th level to select this revelation.

I like taking a 1/day saving throw reroll for my other feat, if I don't need something more niche.

Legalistic is the go-to curse that doesn't hurt you, but Tongues is pretty nice too.

Thank you for pointing that one out, didn't know about the other curses. :)

I'm thinking of taking that one instead.
