Okay. I need help deciding whats more effective over all (short and long term). Cavalier (Cocktrice)w/ Bard (Arcane Duelist) with the goal of Battle Herald OR! Cavalier with Magus? I've already got 2 levels of Cav under the belt and the GM is gracious enough to allow me to swap CHA and Int around once I decide. Thoughts?
Cav/Bard if I remember the crunch correctly Synergizes well.
Not sure on Cav/Magus.
So I recommend Cav/Bard.
Why not just Cavalier?
If you have to multiclass, though, I'd go for Battle Herald.
True Straight Cav is the best option

In general, unless you have a specific thing you're doing, I've found that multiclassing is often suboptimal in PF. You can get some good saves out of the deal, but with Bards, Magi and Cavaliers, they're all going to miss those class levels.
Honestly, if there's something you had in mind, I've found Archetypes will generally accomplish what we tend to think Multiclassing should do.
CAVEAT: if the game is going to stay relatively low-level (capping at 6-8 or so) then ignore the above advice - Multiclassing is awesome and will make you a versatile, high-save beast.

This is the best advice I have heard on this subject.
Thanks all. Appreciate the advice. Has anyone had any experience with the Battle Herald?
I had a player build one... though they ended up switching to a different character because of the campaign though.
