Hello there boards, here's a quick rundown of the situation.
We have a player in our group who burns through characters faster than a quick burning thing burns through easily burnable things. His characters have perished due to poor builds, or just straight up bad player choices, he's not actively trying to die, but he's just really really good at it. Things have gotten so bad, it's become a running joke, and we figured we should come to you esteemed folks to find the most him-proof character possible.
Character creation rules we use are as such:
4d6, drop the lowest, for stats
Only player races and Paizo products, not 3pp or older edition stuff
Build to level 7, Standard WBL.
Now, building an unkillable character mechanics wise can require system mastery, but the real challenge comes from reducing ways he can kill himself or get into bad situations, so keep in mind, the build will be run by someone who doesn't think things through (Collapsed a cliff face onto a group of zombies, while we were standing on said cliff face above said zombies) and forgets complicated class related things (i.e. Summoner spells, Barbarian Rage, going melee with a gunslinger), not a system guru keeping detailed notes.
In the last two sessions, he has 3 PC and 2 Ally NPC (All PCs were his) deaths on his hands via poor decision making and lack of forethought. To that end, what can you put together that can survive any monster and encounter, as well as this player? We'll review the entries, and select the best few, then he'll run them and we'll let you know how they did/died. Given the player, it'll probably be more effective if the character is simple to play, but don't let that stop you from min-maxing, before we hand him one of your builds, we'll make sure it's something he could follow :)
I figure, we'll collect some builds, screen them, choose some for him to use (we'll post the selected builds), then provide information on how things went in order to determine who is the most himproof. Sometimes the largest threat to a PC is the P.
