I'm running the prologue for Rise of the Drow.
It basically takes characters from 1st level to 6th level, when the main book starts.
The characters are currently 5th level, and are attempting to rescue captured villagers.
We're using a lockout system, where your previous three characters aren't available.
My player in question wants to be a melee.
He doesn't like that two of the players have basically copied the build of a third player, so three of them are small variations on the same build.
They're all basically, halflings with the sniper racial trait, spheres of power with shapeshift into air elemental, illusion - improved invisibility equivalent, with destruction range-touch nukes or fireball like aoe.
He might have considered such a build, but not with half of the party all doing that already.
For the lockout, we are using Core Rulebook races only, but with racial traits from advanced race guide.
And he cannot be an Elf, Gnome or Half-Orc.
So he will be one of Dwarf, Half-Elf, Halfling, or Human.
He cannot be a Warder, Warlord or Zealot, or any archetype of those classes.
A given class can have one archetype, but doesn't have to any.
Up to three classes or prestige classes can be part of a build.
Synthesist summoner is out.
We can have two summons/companions/mounts/eidolons at one time, so while Master Summoner is an option, it can never have more than two summoned things at once.
Our sources available are Paizo classes.
Dreamscarred Press - Ultimate Psionics.
Dreamscarred Press - Path of War & Path of War Expanded (but builds need to be Hero Lab legal, so most of PoW:Ex is out).
Drop Dead Studios - Spheres of Power.
With half of the party essentially going invisible, the Drow (or Vikmodere (Barbarian race... not class) mercenaries) are basically targeting the two guys that they can see.
The Drow often use their poison, so without a pretty decent Fortitude save you can fall unconscious for a minute.
And then have to make a second save or be unconscious for hours.
The player in question likes control guys.
Lots of options.
Complex classes, with lots of decisions.
He's not sure what he wants to play.
Suggestions are appreciated, as he's stumped on what to play next.
We're doing a 20-point buy.
And he'll have decent gold for his level... survival bonus and death penalty combine for 150% of expected wealth.... 10,500 x 1.5 = 15,750gp.
Up to half of that into a single piece... so one thing worth up to 7,875 and then everything else is 3,937gp 5sp or less in value.
