Monks don't fail saves and drow have natural spell resist. Toss in two levels of paladin and you can boost your saves further.</p>
<p>Mages that cant kill you are not a threat per-say, but they could still prove to be nearly impossible to kill. Invisible is a level 2 spell, fly level 3, false life, mirror image, arrrg how do i down these buggers!</p>I would agree with him. Monks don't fail saves and drow have natural spell resist.

I am sure one of my friends will be playing some. He is really good at Mage builds. All the other players wont be so difficult to deal with, they are not as versed in Pathfinder so I am not so worried but this one friend of mine will be my largest challange, I need to build some characters to deal with him. He always says the best thing to put up against a full caster is a Drow Monk.</p>My biggest concern is with dealing with the Mages that will be in this combat.

Feats I am leaning towards are EWP (Bastard Sword), Power Attack, Furious Focus and Toughness. not sure what the other 2 feats will be. The only problem I have is that the Sword will cost me just over 10,300 GP and we only have 10,500 GP.</p>The first character I am making is a 5th level Hobgoblin Two handed Fighter, I am leaning towards a Size large Bastard Sword with the Impact weapon enhancement.

<br />
the easiest is high initiative, high DC, wizards who all drop a fireball. Level 5 characters just cant deal with that kind of dmg.</p>
<p>But before I get carried away,
<br />
If you are set on beefy types max your strength, take toughness, use power attack and two weapon fighting with double slice and smash things dead... fast!</p>
<p>you don't need level 5 in barbarian since uncanny dodge isn't going to be needed. (rogues will lose the fight even with +3d6 flank because they cant take your hits and you have hp to take theirs) So I would go with
<br />
barb 4 fighter 1 Or barb 2 ranger 2 fighter 1 (the ranger is if you don't want the 15 dex to qualify for two weapon fighting)</p>
<p>If you know they will have casters you will want to buff the saves you think are weak. Expect spell DC's as high as 20 :(</p>
<p>I would spread out against mages... and don't forget to bring a ranged attack that uses your strength bonus for dmg.(javelin probably good enough)</p>
<p>GL! and make sure to post the results of the outcomes of each round in the tournament!!</p>Well if you want to win, arcane wizards are the way to go.

We will be using 20 point buy and GP appropriate for 5th level characters. if is it in a Paizo book it is allowed.</p>My friends and I are going to have a Deathmatch tournament, I am not sure how many players there will be but I know that every player will have three 5th level characters.
