I got close to the Cleric 1 / Lore X build, 'cept
with Divine Soul Sorc 1, and not your steed focus.
It was fun for the party to be handed a d4 or d8
especially when somebody did something (stupid shhh).
Mediocre BFC and made sure I survived to bring back
the ones who did something (really) stupid (ahem).
Getting the Inspired Leadership feat at level 1 is great.
Doing it with any Not Variant Human, is pretty spiffy.
Do you need Aura of Vitality with all the other heal options?
Start Stuff did a Lore + Steeds guide :

is absolutely c.o. fun, but quite unwieldy and
some of the party may not understand wtf is going on.
(either in character or out) Still personally like it.
Fighter Rogue Archer would be stepping on some party toes
and might get thrown to frontlining + meatshielding too often.
Chance at a bonus feat on the feat stack class tho' is tempting.
