Rather than doing an Olympics for damage, I thought that since we now have the favorite system why not use the same criteria that is used in the DPR Olympics to post characters for people to vote on as "Guys I would like in my party".
So the rules are (partially stolen from the DPR thread...)
- Level 10, since pretty much all classes are expected to have come into their own by then, plus it's a good round number. If you don't think this is a good level to use, feel free to redo the math for some other level; I know level 10 is arbitrary and any other level from about 4 on would work just as well.
- Elite array. While I know most people play with more forgiving point-buys or rolling schemes, this is a baseline. The CR system was originally based around players using elite array or a comparable point buy.
- Standard wealth by level in magic items. Items can be crafted if you have the pre-requisities. Being able to craft can be something you "sell" on (see below).
- Spell lists for arcane casters must be provided. For prepared casters this includes the spellbook and costs for spells beyond those received for "free" should be accounted for in scroll costs as well as cost to add to spell book. Spellbooks are 100 pages, unless using something like a "blessed" book.
- Post the build under spoilers, then follow with an explanation of why someone should want this character in their party.
Exe: "Can buff X amount", "Has X knowledges", "Can make itmes for group" etc...
Readers mark characters as favorite if they would want to have them in their adventuring party. And so the idea is to make a Character others would want to join their party.
Good luck.
I'm intrigued and might throw out an entry. But this might be better off in "advice".

Attack:
Ranged Composite Longbow (+9,+4 1d8 +4)
17 Survival (+23 to Track)
40 movement (+10 from Travel Domain)
Agile Feet (Su): As a free action, you can gain increased mobility for 1 round. For the next round, you ignore all difficult terrain and do not take any penalties for moving through it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + yourWisdom modifier.
Dimensional Hop (Sp): At 8th level, you can teleport up to 10 feet per Inquisitor level per day as a move action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You must have line of sight to your destination to use this ability. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each creature brought.
Detect Alignment (at will)
Discern lies 10 x day

4-2 (Cure Critical, Greater Invisability)
Equipment
+2 Composite Longbow, Belt, Handy Haversack, +3 Cloak, Headband, +2 hide shirt, Ring of protection +1, Amulet of Natural Armor +1
High initiative and perception means we won't get snuck up on, high monster lore means we'll know what we are fighting, bane and judgements mean I'll always have something for it. Base attack isn't impressive, but will nearly always be suppliments by either two judgements, bane, or both. And that is before spells.
Need to find someone, track is 23. Need to check someone, sense motive +19 and discern lies 10 times a day, not to mention detect alignment at will and high mobility thanks to the travel domain. And that is before we get to the spells...

I focused mainly on debuffing spells, but with a few good buffs as well. Sandy doesn't have a lot of offensive options of her own, but hopefully after hexing the enemy to pieces with a combination of Evil Eye, Cackle, Misfortune, and Agony, she doesn't need to get her hands too dirty. Offensive options she does have include Cloudkill, Black Tentacles, and all those other save or sucks. The Hedge Witch gives up two hexes to be able to spontaneously cast cure spells as a cleric, freeing up some spell slots.
Improved Familiar gives her an extra two hands to use wands. Her familiar uses a wand of haste and a wand of acid arrow, and uses her UMD ranks for a UMD score of 15, or an 80% chance of delivering a buff or hitting a caster with acid.
Finally, I wanted to make sure that Sandy wouldn't be a burden to her party, by making her health and AC respectable. With Mage Armor up, she hits an AC of 20, which is fine considering her place behind the front-line. 88 hp (on average) is quite high for her d6, and I don't feel like I could have gotten it much higher without sacrificing something more important. With Greater False Life, she'll have on average 109hp, which I feel is more than respectable.

I like it but you should also include that you track at 20 feet speed without taking penalty so you are not slowing down the big stupid fighter when tracking or when you are hunting with surivival.

I am currently on no sleep thanks to my newborn, so I'd be surprised if any of what a typed made sense. I just wanted to throw out an inquisitor since I don't know if a lot of people realize how versatile the class is when you really break it down to the details.

What he can do for you:
Haste the party with a wand
Infusions are selected assuming you have a 2 handed fighter or barbarian in the party. The infusion can be drunk as a standard action, allowing a quicker enlarge person. Pick Enlarge +Shield for defense or enlarge person + True strike for guaranteed destruction.
Can use draconic reservoir on another party member and then set them on fire with a bomb, giving them +1d6 fire damage.
Light to moderate healing abilities.
Decent trapfinding.
Decent trap removal
Back up stealther: can scout or go with the rogue.
Brew potions
Alchemical allocation: Allows acces to spontaneous casting for his potion stores, or anyone elses potion stores, including a cure for nearly anything.
Most importantly.. his own damage/ability to contribute to a fight is not gimped. He can buff you into godhood or blow the enemy apart for you. In addition to buffing you he can launch 3 bombs to burn opponents, knock them prone, and freeze them in place (5d6+5 +5d6+5 +5d4+5). The stagger+knock prone combo is nasty because its a move action to get up and staggered limits you to a move OR standard action.
A trick to explore with this guy would be to get an iron cobra and use it to inject party members for you. I can't find the rules for telling a construct to start/stop attacking though

I feel that the support abilities of the cavalier are often overlooked, especially given that most people see the class as unimpressive. However, this build focuses HEAVILY on supporting allies by either making them untouchable with Bodyguard, or giving them free movement and attack bonuses to help take out enemies more quickly. In particular, a melee-heavy party would find Ioseph here an amazing boon. I didn't include the mount here, as I don't particularly care for it, but you get Mounted Skirmisher as a bonus feat later, AND I think Beast Rider may stack with the above archetypes for an AWESOME mount, but I'm unsure. Plus, in addition to being a competent skirmisher-type melee combatant, he's useful in diplomatic settings as well. His defenses aren't the strongest, but they're pretty good, with AC jumping up to 32 against AoOs, which he'll probably provoke a lot of, if only to prevent allies from having to worry about them.

First, major props for selecting a class most people bash. I'm going to do a monk at some point for that exact reason. I agree Cavalier's bonuses often get overlooked when evaluating the class.
But...
I can't personally give a favorite to any party member with a will save of 3 at 10th level. To many way to take him out, or worse turn him on the party.

Here's the Evangelist with some basic (mostly defensive) gear:
** spoiler omitted **...
I like it a lot. Every group needs a cleric, you get bard performance features, and summon as a standard action is huge. Not to mention good AC and saves mean you are going to be able to stay upright.
Nice build, only question is what armor you are wearing (since evangelists get less proficiency.)
Should get a level 10 evangelist up myself soon. Going a different direction then the toher evangelist though. Should be interesting.
I'm working on an urban barbarian/oracle.
Because why not.
Nah, blatant dip to cycle between dex and str for ranged and melee. And CLW.

Just a +3 Chain Shirt plus the Ring of Force Shield, Amulet of Natural Armor +2, and the Cloak of Resistance +3

Looking forward to it. =)
Make it level 11 and all the evangelists can take discordant voices.

Ah... you're right. I cheated by adding it at 9 apparently. =)

In hindsight I should have given hank a chain shirt. But I was very, very sleepy when I made him. I still like him, but I should have outlined the bane and judgement bonuses as I undersold him.

I can't personally give a favorite to any party member with a will save of 3 at 10th level. To many way to take him out, or worse turn him on the party.
I hate to say it, but there isn't a whole lot that could be done about that. I mean... with a Fighter, or even a Ranger, you're looking at roughly the same save, give or a take a point or two. I mean, I could have gone with a Cloak of Resistance instead of the awesome armor, and taken Iron will, but that wouldn't add up to a whole lot.
Plus, I suppose playstyle varies a lot. I actually can't remember the last time I made a Will save.

Iron Will is more important than cleaving finish. Greater Iron Will is more important than greater cleaving finish.

Agreed, particularly with a fighter build.
And cloaks aren't expensive.
Having a 3 will (or any save really) at 10th level is very dangerous in any game I've played.
YMMV.

At level 10, the unboosted (no feats invested) DC of a wizard's spell would be DC 21 for a 5th level spell. A 3 in any save is not cutting it.

Agreed even if it's something as simple as a cloak of resistance you should get it. PLus there are traits taht boost it, plus other ways to boost your saves besides.
here is a series of great ideas for Davor's Cavalier.
take the breast plate and heavy shield, drop both from +3 to +2, giving you 20,000 more gold to spend.
you spend 6,000 to upgrade your natural armor amulet to +2
you spend 8,000 on a +2 ring of protection
you spend 4,000 gold on a cloak of resistance +2
leaving you 2,000 gold to otherwise spend as you wish
swap cleaving/greater cleaving finish for iron will and your choice of dodge or improved iron will.
take a trait to increase your will.
drop the keen from your longsword (keeping the +2) and you could also have a +2 composite longbow with an approriate strength bonus to help with fliers and some extra miscellanius stuff. maybe a second haversack.

Since we are going for a generalist "usefulness", rather than something that is tailored to a specific GM, there should be a baseline for saves and AC.
When trying to come up with good builds useful in almost any game world, "YMMV" is not and should not be a valid response.
The rules for this in the original DPR thread are decent enough for this.
Other than that, Davor's cavalier is great. Unfortunately, taking a legalistic view of archetypes, Beast Rider is not compatible with Emissary.
With a +2 Shield, we have 5k to play around with. A Cloak of Resistance +2 is 4k. With Iron Will and possibly greater iron will, this brings us to a +7 Will save, which is pretty nice.
Swapping out Keen or Menacing on the longsword may be worth investigating as well. +2 to allies flanking can be pretty nice.
i accidentally made the mistake of calculating armor/shield bonuses as if they were deflection/natural armor bonuses.
Having a 3 will (or any save really) at 10th level is very dangerous in any game I've played.
Same. With the GM of one of the games I'm playing in, at that point you probably would expect to see Will saves almost every combat, that with 3 Will you could only even make because of the Nat 20 rule.
Not that the fighter who's gone heavy into boosting his Will comes out much better, but, still, better.

It would be really bad if your gm uses the murderous command spell agianst you from a mook. You still might not make it with 3 will save even though it is a first level spell. And all that damage agianst a teamate.

I had a major combat ended because of a Murderous Command to an enemy cleric with a scythe, who promptly critted the magus in the enemy party.
Squish.
Books are not handy at the moment, but I stand by my FoPish inquisitor with Conversion Inquisition and the archetype that goes with it (Infiltrator?). I'll post if and when I have time (I have very little anymore).
