Like the subject line says, I want to make a character based on John Coffey from The Green Mile. I'm thinking he needs to be a shunned race in Pathfinder, half orc might be best, maybe full orc. Maybe half giant if there's a conversion available for them.
For class I'm thinking paladin to represent both his good nature and his healing ability. Oracle would work too because his personality and supernatural abilities are the key to the character, as I recall he never gets into a serious fight other than to grab the warden to heal him and to show him the real killer. I'm thinking he should have high Str, Low Int, high Cha.
Any additional insight would be helpful, especially regarding feat and skill choices. The character will probably have not been arrested or facing charges, but will always be a possibility because of the combination of his race, size and low intelligence.
