I am new to PFS so I only have level 1 characters. With that said you can optimize a lot just by using the Tiefling race!
Example 1: Optimizing AC.
Go Tiefling Fighter with at least 16 dex. Feats: Dodge and Armor of the pit. Start with a heavy wooden shield and a weapon. After the first scenario is completed you should be able to afford a Breastplate. This brings your total ac up to a whopping 24 at level 1! On top of that you have 5 resistance vs fire, cold and electricity and with fiendish sprinter you can even charge at full speed in medium armor!
Example 2: Optimizing via ability scores. Rogues and Monks benefit a lot from the +2 Dex and Int and the hit to cha is better than the hit to con that Elves get. Wizards can even achieve 20 in both those stats at first level by going 7str, 19dex, 10con, 20int, 8wis and 5cha. The key is choosing Transmutation as your focused school which gives +1 to a physical stat. With 20 Dex your ranged touch spells will be much easier to land, and weapon finesse can do the same for the melee touch attacks!
Another boon is that as a Tiefling you are an outsider instead of a humanoid = Hold Person and other spells that target Humanoids can not target you!
