I've finally settled on what I'm going to bring to the table this coming weekend (level 7 game, GM has declared it to be PFS-legal only). I'm going with a human "Oath of Vengeance" Paladin, wielding a Falchion two-handed. Since that's all relatively cookie-cutter, I'm just getting it out of the way.
Now, what I actually need advice on: feats, stat spread, etc.
At present, my starting ability scores are looking like 18 Str (+2 race), 10 Dex, 14 Con, 7 Int, 7 Wis, 17 Cha. At 4th level I'd throw a point onto Cha, of course.
For feats, I'm thinking of Power Attack and Cleave at 1st level, Extra Lay On Hands at 3rd, Great Cleave at 5th, Lunge at 7th.
The key strategy for this character is to charge into a mass of enemies and just start handing out beatings like candy. While my DPR isn't going to outshine any of our true damage dealers, it should be significant enough that at least some of our foes waste their load on my respectable AC/HP, amazing saves, and swift self-healing.
Thoughts, suggestions, observations, blatant personal insults?

I personally wouldnt dump stats like that on a pally, but its ur guy so.
My opinion on the other stuff
Race: Either Human or Half-Elf
Feats:
H or H/E- Skill Focus: Surv.
1st- Power Attack
3rd- Eldritch Heritage- Orc
5th-Furious Focus
7th-Greater Mercy
9th-Extra LOH
11th-Imp. Eldritch Heritage
13th-Quicken SLA- Touch of Rage
15th-Ultimate Mercy or Extra LOH
17th-Greater Eldritch Heritage
19th-Stunning Assault
Id put all my level bumps to cha and the let the heritage pump ur str. Both could end up around 30 with +6 stat items and str way over with Giant Form at 17th..

WerePox's build is pretty awesome, but I would suggest Big Game Hunter at 9 instead of Extra LoH.
If you look at the bestiary most monsters CR9+ are large or bigger. So Big Game hunter is effectively weapon focus and weapon specialization rolled into 1 feat.
Another change you may consider is instead of power attack at 1st level get Fey Foundling, and at 3rd pick up power attack, than at 5th pick up EH-Orc and just don't take furious focus (not that useful for a full bab class with crazy high strength and a whole slew of bonuses to hit anyway).
