I recently had the idea of playing a claw/claw/bite race with one level of crusader and just fluffling it as a troll. He'd only be able to use crusader healing selfishly, but would be able to bloodlet, punch himself in the face, punch walls, what have you for out of combat healing which my group has generally ruled against. U've had some difficulty finding a claw/claw/bite race I want to play though.
I then refined the idea to playing a Crusader 1/Synthesist Summoner X. Rather than handwaving the nature of the character, I plan to play them as a child who was in a caravan that was destroyed by trolls and he manifested his abilities by creating a troll skin and he now believes himself to be a young troll. If he's ever confronted with evidence that he isn't a troll (like getting hit with dismissal) he probably won't be able to handle it and may attack himself until he loses consciouness and resummon his eidolon before opening his eyes when he wakes up.
The one problem I have is that summoner's Eidolon's go away when they sleep. Do I have options other than elf or an Elf that brings something to the table for a Synthesist Summoner? Does Elf trans count as not unconcious for the purposes of keeping an Eidolon up? Constructs aren't really an option since I want the whole traumatized child backstoy. Do half-elves trance? I know half-elves have a favored class ability that puts them on par with human Summoners.
