Fey foundling combined with a level dip into Oracle nature whisper
going into possible Champion of Iori would make too much of mad build soo consider other
options while keeping in mind that Starknives could be a good idea to pick up.
Look at specific healing paladin builds and work down from them.
First:
a CoI is the most helplessly MAD build imaginable. Without fiddling, you need Str (to
hit/damage), Dex (AC, Reflex saves), Con (You're in the front so, you need those HP), Wis (AC,
Will Saves, Ki Pool), Charisma (Smite Evil, All Saves, Channel Energy), and Intelligence can't be
dumped (10 skill points required, and all in knowledge skills; bonuses to all knowledge skills.)
With that out of the way:
It's possible to just...completely overload charisma on a CoI.
Smite Evil, Amateur Swashbuckler (for Dodging Panache), Crane Style/Osyluth Guile, and
adding one level of oracle for the lunar mystery's Prophetic Armor gives you charisma to AC
once vs most targets, three times vs a single opponent (and one attack getting Charisma to AC
four times, twice on reflex saves and once on all others--in addition to once on attack rolls vs
the target of your smite.
If you go a Str/Cha build, I would also suggest unchained monk with a Seven Branched
Sword as well. Unchained monk's flurry has no damage modification depending on
handedness--so you'll do 1.5x str, and have the better power attack if you choose to use it.
Plus, your auto-crit from CoI would be from a 1d10X3 weapon--which is way more satisfying
than the X2 from unarmed strike.
To summarize with a test Cha>Str>Wis, Dex = 13, 25ish point buy build to 17:
