Hello Everybody!
I've come up with an idea for a character but I haven't figured out how best to pull it off. The character comes from a long and well established line of Human Paladins. On one of his many adventures the character's father rescued a Nymph is distress. They courted and had a child but being so very different it wasn't long before the Nymph follows her fey nature buggered off. The child was taken home and raised by his father to be a Paladin. He looks human and never knows about his fey side growing up but always feels different and out of place somehow. While he comes to venerate the knightly ideals of chivalry and goodness he has the utmost difficulty with tradition and their ridged/structured ways. So he finds his own way of doing things.
Basically the character is going to be a fey-touched knight and champion of Chaotic Goodness. I want to be roughly 2/3 Cavalier and 1/3 caster. Sort of an Un-Paladin (rather then an anti-paladin :p). I'm thinking of going for Order of the Star (Desna) for the whole wandering knight bit. For my caster part I'm not sure. As I'd never effectively be able to cast my spells in heavy armor I kind of don't want to have to waste levels on Sorcerer to be of a Fey Bloodline.
I know I could just do a Cavalier/Oracle (Heavens or Nature?) or Cavalier/Cleric (Desna: Luck & Travel?) (Cavalier/Witch really doesn't work well :/) but that doesn't cover the fey side anywhere. Is there a way of having a Bloodline without being a Sorcerer? Like with a Feat that has to be bought at character creation or something? I could just ask the DM to make something up but I want this character to be official. So I could use him in Pathfinder Society play if I want to.
Since it has to do with Fey, I suggest take Druid. The mom could have been a Dryad. However if you really want CG, I suggest Cleric. For the bloodline, Eldritch Heritage feat.
I'm liking Cavalier/Cleric with maybe some holy vindicator, order of the star of course, and if you like your horse there is the horse master feat available too.
another interesting idea would be to have levels in First Worlder Summoner.

Ya I'm not really feeling the Druid. I'm going more for the Fey over the Nature thing. I really want to go for that whole champion of CG ideals concept. What book is the Eldritch Heritage feat in?
Ultimate magic
Eldritch Heritage
Improved Eldritch Heritage
Greater Eldritch Heritage

Well I got a chance to look at the Holy Vindicator. I would not have thought of that myself. Could work but they feel awfully like Paladins with their "judgement upon heretics, infidels and all enemies of the faith" and whatnot. I want of a rogue (not the class) knight. I champion my cause but I'm not so "christiany" in my ways..... if that makes any sense. :p

PS Where would I find information of First World Summoners?

Don't over play that part then. They are a full bab prestige class that has access to bleeding wounds that allow them to spit raw energy at people.
Personally I like the build best at the chaotic neutral or neutral position with negative energy first and then positive energy through versatile channeler but that's just me.
I would use it a bit like a warlock from 3.5 personally.

Or you could take Fey Foundling as your first level feet. Then take sacred touch religion trait. Personally I think this is more then enough to cover the Fey side of your character with out multiclassing.
If you multiclass if the caster is not your main class your better off dipping just a few levels, or just taking the eldritch heritage feets.
Personally Oracle is what I wold use as the base class. And still take Fey Foundling and Sacred Touch to reinforce the theme. This can be a very nice character with out having to scarce allot to get what you want.
Feet:
Fey Foundling
You were found in the wilds as a child, bearing a mark of the First World.
Prerequisites: You may only select this feat at 1ST level.
Benefit: Your strange connection to the First World and the fey infuses you with life, and whenever you receive magical healing, you heal an additional 2 points per die rolled. You gain a +2 bonus on all saving throws against death effects. Unfortunately, you also suffer +1 point of damage from cold iron weapons (although you can wield cold iron weapons without significant discomfort).
Trait:
Sacred Touch
You were exposed to a potent source of positive energy as a child, perhaps by being born under the right cosmic sign, or maybe because one of your parents was a gifted healer.
Benefit: As a standard action, you may automatically stabilize a dying creature merely by touching it.

This sounds like an interesting route. There's just so dang many Feats out there I don't know where to start! >.<
Also as an Oracle I have no idea what spells I would choose to match the theme and still be useful?
A heavens oracle has color spray and awesome display -- those together will guarantee you'll always have something generally useful to do.

Those seem suitably flamboyant for a fey-touched. ^_^
This makes me consider going back to working on my Wyrdknight class, a fey warrior devoted to upholding mystic pacts made with the powers of the fey and punishing those that break them. Mechanically, it was going to be a full-BAB 'magus-lite' with a more naturey theme.

You should do it.
Do et! ^_^
