Character choice

[Happler]

I am being indecisive on what I want to play, so I am posting here for some ideas.

Here is the party so far:

Fighter (Melee based)
Inquisitor
Cleric (subs for inflict)
Ranger (don't know if he is going archer or twf)

So, as the 5th character, what do you suggest?

[ddgon]

Wizard or Sorc or arcane caster. It seems to be the main whole in the lineup.

Bard. Magican bard/pathfinder savant is fun, or arcane duelist bard (either archer or melee -- he can do both) or plain old bard. Sandman if you want to be a bard/rogue type.

[Kalrik]

I have been eyeing the inquisitor for my next character. Of all the new classes, inquisitor and oracle are my favorites.

[Richard Leonhart]

Inquisitor seems to have the best flavour. I would go with it. I never got warm with the PF-Ranger and Fighter hasn't got enough options.
I never really liked the cleric, he seems too ... blank.

My personal favourites are wizard, alchemist, inquisitor.

They could use a Rogue if the GM is fond of traps.

Summoners are fun too.

Mechanically at least, you need an arcane caster-
Wizard for pure power
Human Arcane Bloodline, Sorcerer (extra spells fav
ored Class) for big range spont casting ( my favorite kind of mage)
or Witch for something new and cool SLA's that don't run out.

Cheers.

Mystic theurge can be a lot of fun if you can get by the 'hazing levels'

Or if he doesn't want to haze levels a witch with the strength patron gets some of the best divine buffs

Witch eldritch knight has a lot of good things going for it (heal, righteous might, raise dead, etc).

From the looks of it most of your damage will be from melee. So you have a choice to make.

1. Arcane caster of some type.
Crowed Control, Damage, some Buffs.

2. Bard melee build of some type.
Buffing, Crowed Control, and Damage.
