So I rolled some odd stats for a game I may be joining soon: 14/14/13/13/13/13. Starting level is 3, Paizo classes only. Disregarding the composition of the rest of the party, what would you play? Right now I'm thinking about a casting-focused middle-aged Aasimar cleric with 14s in Wis and Cha.

What would I do? I'd ask for Point-Buy.

Barring that, the Cleric is a good idea. You've got plenty of decent stats, so a more MAD class might be worth considering as well... Perhaps one of the melee-with-extra-options class, like Paladin. But I'm not terribly familiar with PF, so my advice won't go much deeper than that.

But that's the main factor I base my class choice around though :smalltongue:

I might give an Orc Barbarian a try with those rolls - 18 Str, 14 Con, 13 Dex, 11 mental stats.
Any caster with a +2 casting stat race would be fine as well.
You could also go Synthesist Summoner on a +Cha race with the 13s in the physical stats.

With stats like those, I'd try for something like a magus, or another gishy class. Hell, a bard or skald would work. Magus is just my go-to class. If I was in your situation, I'd try to play either a Ru-Shi Dhampir or Scaleheart skinwalker magus.

I'll second Orc, or Water Orc (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/elementalRacialVariants.htm#racesOfWater) if possible, and Dragonborn (https://web.archive.org/web/20140213013841/http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/iw/20060105b&page=1) if possible, and focus on physical stats. You didn't say Paizo races only, after all.

Otherwise if you can use Magic-Blooded, put it on a Cha-bonus race and a Cha-SAD casting class (Con 14).

Another option is Goblin Rogue (Unchained.) 18 Dex, 14 Wis, 13 Int, 11 Str, 13 Con, 11 Cha. You can drop that first stat point in Con and go to town from there, or else you could go for the +HP favored class instead of the skill point since you have plenty of skills already, or even do both.

Is honourable suicide an option?

I think you could do a decent Bardblade (Not in the 3.5 sense, I just mean a melee bard). Or for an even better pun, play a Bardcher, and get the magic item that lets you not spend bardic music rounds on rounds you fire a bow, to compensate from noty so many music rounds.

synthesist summoner so most of the stats don't even matter.

Orc Barbarian and Goblin Rogue are both very nice suggestions, thank you Psyren. Getting an 18 is always nice, but those are the only two races with +4 to anything. Would Orc Slayer also work? I'd still have solid damage output, and I'd get a few more things to do outside of combat.

Probably it would - I don't know much about building Slayers, especially Str-based ones.
