[PFs] Brainstorming Ideas for a Slyph?

[RndmNumGen]

I got a Slyph racial boon at PaizoCon today, and I'm uncertain exactly what I want to do with her. I was considering making either a Magus or a Witch, but it would also be fun to make a fighter-type(Duelist, perhaps?) due to the feat I can take at 9th level which gives me a Fly speed. I was wondering if the Playground had any ideas on what would be a fun character concept; at this point, I'm really open to anything.

If you want to do a spellcaster, the Wind Listener (sylph-focused variant Wizard) from the recently released Advanced Race Guide might be fun if you want to be the sylphiest sylph possible. The Wind Listener has a class feature to become intangible and wispy, which might be a good combination with the flight feat you have.

For those of us who couldn't afford to go to paizocon (even if we do only live down the road from seattle), wanna explain what a racial boon is so we can give aid better?

Wind Listener is kind of interesting, though I'm not sure how valuable the Spontaneous Divination would be, and if it's worth giving up a familiar.

Sorry. Simply put, Pathfinder Society play only allows the Core races in games. A racial boon allows you to create a single character of the listed race, keeping all other character creation rules the same.

So, it's just like making any other Societies character, but as a Sylph instead of a Human/Elf/Dwarf/etc.

Any of the Intelligence based casters could work, with the possible exception of Alchemist.
Sorcerer with the Sage (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/archetypes/paizo---sorcerer-archetypes/wildblooded/sage)bloodline could also work.

I actually had not considered Alchemist. I find that quite intriguing though... Why wouldn't it work? The dexterity would be useful for lobbing bombs, and picking up concussive/shocking bomb would be very thematic.

I would honestly prefer Wizard or Witch over Sorcerer. Magus seems to fit thematically, but Societies is already flooded with them... maybe if I could find a way to build one without using Shocking Grasp.
