I agree with the above for the most part. Except that I would stipulate that an Oracle need not have faith, their ability to express themselves taps the conduit granted by the divine entity, no philosophical association is technically required, though deities obviously have a proclivity for granting powers to those with similar views.

I have a pirate captain ... he has the prehensile hair hex, so he can beat up people with his mustace.

I once heard of a similar pirate that did this with dreadlocks.

My character started out as an experiment to get as much as I could based on charisma. Synthesist Summoner 6/Seeker Oracle of Lore 1/Sacred Shield Paladin 2 (Charisma replaces dex to AC and Reflex saves and INT to knowledge, added to all saves and could be added to AC against the target of Bastion of Good)

What he became was a former disciple of a minor evil deity. Then a voice spoke to him, offering him knowledge. He learned much of summoning, in an attempt to emulate his mistress, but the voice also showed him the depths of the evil path, leading him to forsake evil and redeem himself, training as a paladin. He began turning his knowledge of the planes towards good, seeking to craft himself an outsider body through which to ascend to godhood so as to combat his former mistress.

The result was an eclectic venerable elf paladin with nearly impenetrable defenses and a new lease on life because he spent most of his time as a panther with wings and a set of arms between his legs who fired his longbow like a turret, held horizontally over his body.
