Eldritch Heritage for Cavalier?

[williamoak]

So I'm building a cavalier with decent cha, and I thought, why not add eldritch heritage eh? I was wondering if anybody had ever though about it. The "obvious" choice would be orc (for massive strength boosts) but i'm looking for something a bit more fitting for a good character. THe stats are the following:
(25 pt build) (Human, NG)
Str: 17 Dex: 15 Con: 12 Int: 10 Wis: 12

Any ideas?

We would need your Cha to figure out the heritage thing, no? XD Anyway,it reaaaaally depends on what you'd like his theme to be.

I like bloodlines that remain useful, even eith their lower abilities at all times, and feature a useful skill for skill focus. That said, I like Undead (Sanguine)

Whow, forgot cha!
(25 pt build) (Human, NG)
Str: 17 Dex: 15 Con: 12 Int: 10 Wis: 12 Cha 15

Undead is... just too evila bloodline. Thanks anyways!

There are several good choises but it depends of other things, what combat style will your cavalier focus?

I'm actually looking at Eldritch Heritage feats for a character as well, and I really like the Infernal and Arcane bloodlines.

Infernal lets you pick up SF:Diplomacy (which is pretty good) and gives you a touch attack that shakens foes (with no save!). And if you get a Conductive weapon, you can use that touch attack through sword.

Arcane is also a neat idea since you get a familiar. This is mainly for flavor, but you can later get Improved Familiar and pick up an imp, mephit, etc. and have them be a wand buddy.

Keep in mind, however, that according to RAW you CANNOT select any of the Wildblooded options (which is a shame, 'cause Sylvan looks fun).

Well, My fighting style will probably be that of the resident tank/ mobile defender. I plan on taking combat reflexes+ bodyguard to help others, probably benevolent armor as well.

I thought about imperious, but the first level thing is just... rubish.

Also, dont forget I'm going for golden legionnaire, so any buffing would be useful.

Bodyguard eh,

(Unless you are mounted) Sometimes you can not just move and kill the BBEG that is threatening your friend. I like silvan bloodline, the first level ability is atouch attack (No save) and the target lose his next standar action.

it is great for offense (totally devastating against single BBEG where action economy is king), and it is great for defense (somebody is grappling you?, no more).

nad hte following ability in the chain is greater invisibility.

Take arcane eldritch heritage and get arcane bond. Have your self a weapon you can improve at 1/2 the cost.
