Ive built an aasimar bodyguard for Rotrl campaign and would like some feedback. Also, because the last charachter i made died at the end of book 2. This charachter will be getting the loot drop after its been divied up. So and item suggestions would be good.
Character level 6 with 5th level gold
Aasamir/angelic bloodline (+2 str/cha) (exalted resistance alternate trait)
Stats:
16 str (14+2)
12 dex
14 con
10 wis
16 cha (14+2)
AC=25
Flatfooted:24
Touch:11
Saves: Fort=18 reflex=8 will=11
Hp:60
Armor:
Full plate
Tower sheild
Weapons:

Pistol
Wonderous items:
Robe of infinate twine
Boots of the cat
Gloves of reconasance
Shawl of lifekeeping
Adventurers sash(not magical but useful)
Wands:
Wand of sheild
Wand of lead blades
Feats:
Combat reflexes
Bodyguard
In harms way
Traits:
Defender of the society
Threatening defender
2 levels on paladin for divine grace, sacred shield archetype
1 level into gun tank gunslinger archetype for free towersheild profencicy
1 level into warpriest (ragathiel deity) for free weapon focus and profencicy(bastard sword)
(Law and nobility blessings)
1 level into slayer for reflex+bab+focused target
1 level into bloodrager for stat boosts (infernal blood)+damage
At the end i believe i will have 825 gp left (correct me if im wrong)
this seems a little bit like a kid in a candy store... like you can't really decide what you want so you're just taking a little bit of everything?
if this build seems fun for you, go for it! if you're worried about being effective, try to refine your idea of exactly what you want him to be/do and try focusing your build a bit more.
without crunching any numbers, i strongly suspect you'll have trouble kicking out enough damage to keep any enemy's attention. that means you'll either be chasing enemies around trying to add a little damage to what the more optimized combatants are doing and make sure you're in position for in harms way. if in harms way is really gonna be that central to your strategy you can optimize better for that (for example a straight class paladin, halfling with the helpful trait).

isn't defender of the society a fighter only trait? You're Dex is awfully low to take advantage of the combat reflexes and bodyguard feats. Perhaps you need a little more focus. So you want your character to be a body guard that's great but what kind. Is he the kind that will snipe enemies before hand or is he more like ser jorum and will stand side by side to protect is Khalessi. Perhaps he has a reach weapon to take care of foes while standing beside his charge. Pick the concept, not the abilities.
that being said some of your stuff has great synergy concept wise. Ragathiel being a devil and the infernal bloodline perhaps he was a follower of ragathiel. Maybe tiefling would work better than aasimar?

Ragathiel is an emperial lord who is a good servant of the gods (a.k.a enlightened angel)
Not much else is said besided that besides him livingon the bottem layer of heaven in a castle built to wistand a thousand year war. So maby he got kinky with a devil which mixed infernal and angel blood.
And warpriests counts as fightters and clerics for the purpose of prerequests of feats and traits.
I might get a reach weapon, but once i turned level 7, i was planning on grabbing another level in slayer, grab the extra combat feat and grab combat pratrol and combat expertese.
At its core, the Bodyguard build is focused on Aid Another.
