Just wanting to have fun, so I've seen plenty of Class this, Race that discussions so why not talk about the combo of the two. What's your favorites?
Mine in no particular order:
1. Catfolk - Inquisitor: Sure they have the penelty to Wis, but cat's are natural hunters, and who hasn't felt like their cat is judging them? I generally pop this out with Desna or Caydean as the deity as both make sense for the freedom and Cats=Chaos idea.
2. Kobold - Ninja: They are small, really sneaky, and love traps and sneak and stab. What's not to love? The fact they are generally adorable mini dragons helps too, vanishing trick, and tail terror feats make them fun as well. One of these days I'm going to build a Sweeper + Kusari-Gama trip build.
3. Gnoll - Paladin: Nothing says holy knight then a near seven foot tall creature normally known for eating people. Also lay on hands to people thinking a gnoll is about to eat them. It was hilarious.
4. Ratfolk - Gunslinger/Wizard: Because Skaven are awesome. If Spell Slinger was better...eh, I still like this, shooting and blasting people with lightning bolts and cloudkill...happy days.
5. Halfling - Cavalier (Order of the Paw): Tiny lancer of doom, with an adorable puppy as a mount. Bonus points if the riding dog can be a...Dire Corgi.
6. Dwarf Wizard -: I like them, Dwarves aren't normally thought of casters but this and Deep Earth Bloodline Sorcerers are so much fun. Dwarf Skald was very close to.
7. Half-Orc Monk: I also like Half-Orc Cleric, but even since 3.5 I've loved playing a big green and mean punching machine.
8. Kitsune Barbarian: Kitsunes are tricksters, kitsune have a str penalty, but you know what? A rabid angry fox to the face hurts. I had an Intimidate build and he was so cool.
9. Lizardfolk - Saurian Shaman: You know dinosaurs are awesome, this is also a class I like playing as a Kobold too, but Lizardfolk have the dino theme more to their side. And like the skaven analogy, Lizardman riding a Carnosaur. Oh yeah. Also fun to summon a T-Rex right onto a ship you are going to pirate...just saying.
10. Dhampir - Oracle of Life: Cause sometimes I like to throw common sense right out the window. Before the errata this would of been Orc-Scarred Witch Doctor, but oh well. This is still a fun build if a bit crazy. Have to get Life Dominate Soul though. Blood Drinker would be fun too if it wasn't considered evil.
(Oops I meant to put this in General Discussion not PFS, can someone move it please?)
Yeah that would be problematic. Mine was a replacement character for a Skull and Shackles game.
Yeah and if you are playing straight up Orc, its a massive nerf.

I have found myself rapidly becoming a fan of the psychic class, so I would probably rank Tiefling Psychic as my top combo.
Buuuuuut if I could pick absolutely any combo (e.g. a combo that would never be legal in PFS because this race boon will never happen and application of this feat is questionable), it would be a Goblin Monkey Gunslinger with dual medium pistols (using goblin gunslinger feat) and reloading with help from its tail in a horrific mix of booming gunfire, high pitch shrieking, and billowing gunsmoke.
Aasimar Alchemist was my first ever character. Funny combination, but he was so great.
I also have a gnoll oracle of all of the good gods, he's their pawn in a game if "what can we do with the weakest member of one of the lowest races?"
Homebrewed jackal skinwalker as an alchemist devotee of Anubis was fun.
4. Ratfolk - Gunslinger/Wizard: Because Skaven are awesome. If Spell Slinger was better...eh, I still like this, shooting and blasting people with lightning bolts and cloudkill...happy days.
I can help! Lv1 Spellslinger/lv19 any other caster.
Spellslinger's class features are not restricted to spells from Spellslinger levels.
I'm very partial to fetchlings and I'm not 100% sure why. Maybe one day.

dwarven druid. Wisdom AND con at the cost of.. -1 to handle animal. Plus earthy flavored goodness. Sign me up.

They are as much as spellstrike from magus.
From the Spellstrike class feature: "[...]whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list[.]"
From the Arcane Gun class feature: "A spellslinger can cast any ranged touch attack, cone, line, or ray spells through his arcane gun. When he casts through the arcane gun, the gun’s enhancement bonus (if any) is a bonus to the spell’s attack rolls or to the spell’s saving throw DCs."
Sylph + Kineticist (Aether+Air)
So an air being, bending air? :P

I'm one of those guys that during stormy weather, sits outside in his swim trunks. I did steel construction for several years, just because I liked being at the top of the construct where the wind blew the hardest. Wing-suit is my favorite form of travel, particularly on cloudy windy days. ;)
So yeah... the Sylph Kineticst (Aether/Air) screams to me like no combination ever has. :P
2nd favorite: Sylph from the Wizard Elemental School of Air.

Favorite combinations...
Aasimar or Tiefling Druid: Particularly when the Aasimar is of Agathion Heritage or the Tiefling is of Rakshasa heritage.
Elf Sorcerer: But only if the societal expectations of the setting would place the elf into wizardry naturally.
Android Psychic: Most recent one, I like the area of the emotionless spellcaster who's weak in social area, or the Android who against all odd depends on a connection with others for their abilities.
Half-Elf or Changeling Witch: Witches who live on the edge of society are always fun, and Half-Elf and Changeling seems like a perfect match since they don't fit natively into the society of their parents (unless you're playing in Eberron)

Basically any combination of human, half-orc and charisma-based casting will always appeal to me. Just returned to PFS with half-orc Oracle of Lore, in keeping with this theme.
Some combos that seem fun and I'd like to play sometime:
Kobold Sorcerer (orc bloodline)
Dwarf Goliath Druid.
Dwarf Mounted Fury/Mammoth Rider.
(Yes, I like the idea of 'normally he's small, but is currently very large)
Personally, I really like the idea of an Aasimar (Angel Blooded) Celestial Bloodrager. So much Diablo 3 flavor in that combination!
You can also play the inverse with a Tiefling (Asura blooded) Abyssal or Infernal Bloodrager for even more Diablo 3 goodness!
Grippli frog domain druid
Yeah I wanted to try the tail feats too, but it seemed more like an NPC thing. I'd love to see a solid build

Sylph AeroKineticist
Oread GeokineticistIfrit Pyrokineticist
Undine Hydrokineticist
Sounds like no-brainers to me ^_^
Changeling Witch. Strangely un-synergistic stat setup considering the fluff relation, but very ripe for drama concerning your parentage. I also salivate at a reason to have heterochromia in a character beyond "sounded cool".
Debuff and laugh at people all day.
Human Commoner.
Canon Fodder/ Monster's snack? :P
Simply Human Bard for me (specifically Sound Striker)...love that Favored Class Bonus!
Undine (Watersinger) Bard. Because I didn't want to wait for Kineticist to come out.
Now if only Bards got an archetype for Kineticist abilities that just so happened to stack with the Watersinger archetype...
Try a catfolk bard with a 1 level dip into oracle of lore. This allows you to dump INT and WIS and still have the absolute best knowledge skills in the game. Admittedly this works better as an NPC.
