Howdy folks. got an interesting proposal from a friend of mine and i could use your advice on it.
My friend is having a bday party on sunday, and he is having a battle royale set within pathfinder. 8 of his friends, myself included, are meeting up and will be smashing each other for the entertainment of the crowds.
he gave us these guidelines.
20th level characters.
can only use pathfinder specific books for character creation
1mil gold pieces
roll up your stats.
so, usually i play the tank, but with this broad of criteria, i want to try something different but dont know the best way to build it. so id like to know through what combos would you be able to create a PC that can survive the longest against other PC's with the same available items.

off the top of my head
some sort of Barbarian and Sorc/Summoner Dragon Disciple buildor something unassuming like a Rogue or Monk focused on AC
My vote is for Inquisitor. Stalwart is the only way to protect yourself (that I know of) from nasty effects that happen even when you save vs. Fort or Will. Reflex generally just prevents damage, which is far less likely to take you strait out of the fight. With good saves (and Greater Iron Will/Great Fortitude for a reroll each) and your +save judgement running, you should be nigh impossible to stop.
Build for great saves, decent AC, and start putting up Judgements like crazy at the start of the fight. You can't stack the same effect, but I can't for the life of me find anything preventing you from using it three times to have all nine running.
Take the Preacher archetype to ditch the less than useful Tactics abilities for very useful rerolls on attacks. You wont regret that.
As for combat style, Archery works great, but with the way the class works (offensive judgements and bane) and your access to buffs like Divine Power, you should be able to be very flexible in how you fight.
As well, you have great support spell access if you need it as well as access to spells like Heal which can potentially bring you back into the fight from the very brink.
Thats my opinion.
EDIT: As a note, this is assuming someone doens't just cast Time Stop and then Gate d4 times and win the fight. Not much can stop a Diviner from pulling that sort of thing off.
