Hey guys, so I decided one of the builds I might use for this upcoming game is a Paladin/Oracle. I'm basically looking for help selecting another feat, and fine-tuning the Oracle spells-known list. I could also use help fleshing out the gear (I've got a little more than 20k to spend). Don't mind the ridiculous stats, it's part of a super-high powered campaign. I'm also considering moving him to a Holy Tactician Archetype, as I think that might really benefit the party.

The concept I'm going for is lay down some key buffs for the party, move to the thick of the fighting, add buffs as needed and lay into the enemy while using wall spells/exploding shards/fire etc to restrict enemy movement. There's also a focus on Summoning, as this generally works pretty well at tying up enemies for a bit, and debuffing. I'm not sure whether I'm trying to be too broad or should specialize more, but the party caster is a dedicated wizard/magus blaster and everyone else focuses on direct damage, so a lot of gaps are filled. I'm considering another character, as well.

Anyway, here's the relevant info:

Yup. He said the magic words (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257365).

Holy Tactician is a solid choice of archetype, the FREE ALL DAY sharing of a Teamwork feat is pretty sweet, and the option to use a Move action to give EVERYONE (even you) an extra 5ft. step can be handy as well.
And if you were considering multiclassing out of Paladin, I'd wait until at least level 11, as it notably upgrades your Replacement-Smite.

Consider using a Paladin spell slot (or 2, or 3 or...) for Shield Other every day.
Each casting lets you take on 1/2 the damage that another character would take. So you can better protect the squishier members of your party.
Combined with Lay on Hands being a Swift action to use on yourself (and your ginormous number of Hands uses a day), you should easily be able to handle the extra damage.
You may even consider getting Shield Other as an Oracle spell known if this works for you.

Take Fey Foundling (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/fey-foundling) as your first level feat. Whenever you Magically heal damage, you get an extra +2 HP PER DIE!

Track down a Bracelet of Mercy, it gives you +1 Lay on Hands a day, and gives you the Mercy>Disease
