One of my old RL groups got back together and resume play. We are converting our old characters from 3.5 to Pathfinder. The GM is not allowing any 3.5 material but he gave us freedom to completly redo our character's builds.
My old paly use to have levels in two prestigue classes that are no longer avaible. I am looking for some advice and ideias on how to make a Pathfinder build of that character while keeping the original flavor: A paladin who dedicates his life to hunt down evil dragons to avenge the death of his family and the destruction of his hometown.
Multiclass is allowed and all classes and archetypes are avaible as long as, by the end of the day, he is still a paladin. He is at the 10th level, human and a 25 point buy.
Thank you for any help/suggestions.

--------------------
Aura of Courage +4 (10' radius) (Su) You are immune to Fear. Allies within aura gain a morale bonus to saves vs Fear.
Aura of Good (Ex) The paladin has an Aura of Good with power equal to her class level.
Aura of Resolve +4 (10' radius) (Su) You are immune to charm. Allies within aura gain a morale bonus to saves vs charm.
Breath Evasion (Su) At 4th level, a paladin with this oath gains evasion, but only against the breath weapons of creatures with the dragon type. This ability replaces channel positive energy.
Damage Reduction (10/evil) You have Damage Reduction against all except Evil attacks.
Detect Evil (At will) (Sp) You can use Detect Evil at will (as the spell).
Divine Bond (Sp) This works like the paladin's normal divine bond ability, except as follows. If the paladin's bond is with a weapon, she cannot use that ability to add the brilliant energy, disruption, or merciful weapon properties, but she can
Divine Weapon +2 (10 minutes) (2/day) (Sp) Weapon shines with light and gains enhancement bonuses or chosen properties.
Immune to Charm You are immune to charm effects.
Immune to Fear (Ex) You are immune to all fear effects.

This is a 2H melee destroyer. The benefits of this archetype is that you gain evasion vs. a dragon's breath weapon and you also gain the ability to give your weapon BANE DRAGONS when you use your divine bond. Versus dragons, you're like an inquisitor with smite evil. Falchion for the crit range so you smite-crit more often.
Power Attack is factored into stats.

Same as Wyrmslayer, except he's a ranged character instead of a melee character, which will help vs dragons. Still get your evasion and bane dragon ability. More attacks to make use of that Smite and Bane.
Rapid Shot and Deadly Aim are factored into stats.

How did you get the DR?
Can't Oath against the Wyrm stack with Divine Hunter Archetype to build a Ranged Paladin?
I'd stick with pure pally to maximize smite evil bonus. Pally's are natural dragon slayers in pathfinder. Either max out two hand( or ranged feat trees based on preference and smite the hell out of it. I love the ranged pally although i stick with the normal build rather then divine hunter I don't think the trade offs are that good.

They are wonderful for a Paladin filling the Dedicated Archer role. And Elven Paladins.

I considered making him a ranged paladin with a bow since archer combat style become so good in Pathfinder but I dont want to change so much from the original concept. My guy was a melee fighter and I intent do keep him that way.
The wyrmslayer archetype have great flavor but Iam not too keen on its trades off. Most of his abilities could be brough with magic itens and since my guy is starting at lvl 10 he has a pretty good budget for shopping.
Great ideas guys thx, keep them coming.
Hmm maybe make him as a Switch Hitter with a Melee Focus?
Say a straight Paladin with a Bastard Sword (used as a Martial 2HW unless you want the feat or can get proficiency in it for free.) or a Greatsword/Falchion. and then a Bow as a backup weapon.
