Glad to be part of the discussion. :)

I've been an on-and-off RPG player for a long time. I played 1st edition D&D with a neighbor when I was a kid, and then multiple distinct D&D games in college. In the last 5 years, I have been part of a steady group that has played D&D 3.5, Vampire Requiem, and now Pathfinder. My favorite part of any RPG is getting a new character started... backstory and all. After that, a well set-up character is definitely easier and more fun to role-play.

comment Which classes continue to synergize well for a multi-class character?
Note that OP was asking about Pathfinder, not 3.5 or 4e. I agree with your basic points, however: especially not sacrificing caster levels in multiclassing.

comment Firing into close combat in Pathfinder
One other side note on #2&3: when using a range weapon or casting a spell when you are in melee with an enemy, you will provoke an attack of opportunity. While this is not the penalty originally referenced, it is an important risk to be aware of.

comment What abilities can change a class dominant stat in Pathfinder?
Do you have any limit on acceptable sources, or are you open to all Pathfinder and Pathfinder-compatable sources?

comment Build advice for Heavens Oracle (Pathfinder)
I considered the pros and cons of shifting points around, and I think you're right about the relative merits of the stats, especially considering the upside of my curse. It does restrict my maximum load, and it will decrease my melee functionality, but I agree that int & wis will be more important in my case. Will do either S8 D12 C12 I13 W12 Ch19 -OR- S10 D12 C12 I13 W10 Ch19. I certainly want sense motive & will saves within reason :)

I've updated my proposed starting stats and added a few helpful links. (Many thanks to AceCalhoon for fixing my link embed issue.) :) I'm still interested in any thoughts on Eldritch Heritage... pros and cons. I know the low strength makes some options less functional, but I feel like it could be a useful Feat if I plan it right.

comment How do I respectfully make use of non-Western accents?
Agreed - not all stereotyping is "evil" per se... it's more the caricature that comes with some stereotypes that can tend toward the lack of respect that I presume OP was expressing concern about. That's where listening to real people using real accents to communicate can help to integrate those accents that have typically been presented as a joke in Western media. :)

comment What is the difference between a cleric and an oracle?
The good news here is that, "Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered oracle level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), an oracle can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the oracle loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged. An oracle may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that she gains new spells known for the level." - Pathfinder APG p.43. So there is some built-in flexibility as you grow.
