Putting together my first character, and I'm wanting to figure out what might be a decently optimal build for the Lunar Oracle. I seem to see an option for a melee spellcaster build with the werebeast teeth and claws, so I might want to invest in both Str and Cha, but beyond that, I have no idea how to start things off.
Does anyone here have any ideas? What revelations or feats should I pick first, or what races might I want to look into? Is there anything else I need to take into account, like traits or archetypes?

Hmm... I have ideas but... It is more of a concept that utilizes the powers from the Lunar Oracle and dips around to fill that concept out.
Well, to start out, if you want to build a melee spell caster... You are going to need to have a decent constitution score. At least a 14. So, Cha>Str>Con>Int=Wis>Dex. This is assuming that you will take the Prophetic Armor revelation FIRST, thus removing your need for a decent dexterity score for armor class.
Primal Companion is a good choice because you may need the flanking assist and distraction an animal companion will provide. Taking Outflank on both you and the companion is a good idea.
Taking the Dual-Cursed Archetype, choosing Wrecker as your primary curse and Lycanthropy as your second (non-advancing) curse. You won't need to use manufactured weapons if you intend on using natural attacks. Also you can bypass the broken item issue with three levels of sorcerer with the Vestige bloodline, or use Eldritch Heritage to pick up the 3rd level power. You can opt for other curses that give you natural weapons. Gift of Claw and Horn only gets you one natural attack but does let you enhance ALL natural weapons you have.
If this sounds fun, you can focus on sundering or damage towards objects, literally peeling the armor off of your enemies to get to their tender flesh.
