<p>Adamantine is a good choice because it makes your weapon darn near invulnerable, and you can't change its material after you get your black blade. It also cuts through hardness if you're interested in sundering things (which, contrary to popular belief, does not ruin your chances at getting new equipment; in normal games, the spell <i>mending</i> fixes it, and in PFS you get access to purchase anything special after the game anyways). This makes it a good choice against equipment-reliant enemies, but they aren't super common.</blockquote><p>In PFS a bladebound magus can't upgrade a weapon into a blackblade.

I’d be satisfied with rebuilding only being available after their first PFS game, but I see your point about single day events with multiple time slots.
<p>Ideally a coordinator or experienced player should look over the new player’s character, when that player shows up to play at an event and is new to Pathfinder. They should be able to provide advice on how best to make a strong character while staying within the theme the player wants, and make sure the character made is PFS legal.</p>
<p>With the current rules if there wasn’t time for a review, I would most likely tell the player to use a pregen for their first game until an audit could be done of the character they brought with them.</p>Michael Brock wrote:One of the reasons a rebuild option, only while first level, would be considered is because local game days usually offers two games in one day.
