We roll for our stats, 4d6 drop the lowest. I got the following: 17, 16, 16, 15, 13, 13. These are the best stats I’ve ever rolled at this table. What should I play? Thought about a paladin but lots of players play neutral or chaotic, and I’m not into lawful good anyhow. What else would the wonderful folks on the advice forum recommend? Also, our GM is a stickler for the rules so everything must come from a book; no PRD only or third party materials.

Something with MAD. Maybe a monk. Or an eldrich knight. Much depends upon the rest of the group.
That's make a pretty sweet dwarven drunk monk with weapon finesse. (17 dex & 18 con/wis) I'm always thought the drunk monk / quinggong sounded fun - but getting to 18 con so that you can drink as a swift action always sort of turned me off.
Monk/Socrcerer/Dragon Disciple. Or any gish really.
Champion of the Enlightened could be fun.
If you've never played a squishy caster before, stats like that will make levels 1-4 much less hectic and they scream gish.
Any of the 2+INT skill point classes will feel a lot less unskilled with that good of an off-stat INT.
You'd be a powerhouse cleric with the Aasimar race. You'd have amazing casting, you could variant channel at max effect and wade into combat to do it.
Those stats sort of beg for a multiclass play for massive saves and great combat. Like everyone else said: the monk is strong with this one.
@iammercy you mean Champion of Irori. Campion of the Enlightened is what the d20pfsrd call it because of copyright.
Champion of Irori is truly amazing if you have the stats to pull it off, and it looks like you do.
Champion of Irori is a monk paladin that can use ki points to smite.
Perhaps a CaGM Barbarian who's Perception and Will are really good?
Has anyone said Magus?

Ahh.. yes then.
And if the ruling comes back 'they stack'.. take a dip or two of Sacred Fist!
You could play a mystic theurge and choose an interesting combo that would normally be too MAD.
Edit: Ninja'd! And by 30 minutes :p Also, I second the Champion of Irori idea! I made one for PFS (20 pt-buy). I had to take the dual-talent human trait and dump Int to 7... he still doesn't have higher than a 16 in any stat :/
Warpriest as a frontline fighter benefits from high Str, Con, Wis, Charisma (for channeling).
A melee Alchemist will want a high Int, Str, Dexterity (light armor, throwing bombs, trained in Stealth), Constitution, Wisdom (poor Will save). They also get UMD so Charisma isn't too bad.
Melee Druid will want high Str, Con, Dex (no metal armor, no armor bonus while wildshaped), Wis (spell stat), and benefits from a good Charisma for Handle Animal/Wild Empathy.
