So for gateway con I made some friends and we all want to do a dc hero team. I picked Wonder Woman and I'm trying to work out a build for her. I was thinking maybe brawler for the decent unarmed combat damge and attacks. Also I was looking at the lasso and was wondering if anyone knew of ways to improve it or fun tricks I probably don't know. I will most likely play human and try to focus on strength.
Also look into the equipment tricks for rope. That would be very appropriate.
That should be in the crb for rope tricks right? Does having a masterwork lasso do much of anything besides add to my to hit with it? I'd hope it would alter the dc for escaping or bursting out of it.
I believe there are equipment tricks in the PFS Field Guide. Might also be some in the Ultimate Equipment. Can't remember off the top of my head. I have rarely thought them worth while. But you might look into them when they really fit a concept.
Masterwork weapon would just give a +1 to any to hit roll or combat maneuver check made with the weapon.
I'm thinking bard. She's supposed to be a very charismatic, inspiring figure and uses a lasso (bards get whip proficiency, and you can take some feats to be able to grapple with it eventually).
I'd be more inclined to go with Paladin for her, maybe with a smattering of Brawler.
While she was created from clay, I would handle her race as an Aasimar. This is both because of her close association with the Greek pantheon and her racial heritage as an Amazon.
I would use that race if it was pfs legal still. This does have to be pfs legal, since we will play most likely at the next con I'm assuming for my area.
True.
Actually, what do you have? (i.e., Superman, Batman, etc.)
We have Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, the Flash, and me as Wonder Woman. I can always do a Thundercaller Black Canary if this doesn't come together on par with them.
Rephase: What Pathfinder races & classes do you have for your JLA PFS team. (and who is what?)
I'm not sure how you would make Supes in a PFS game. Invulnerable Rager sort of works mechanically, but is terrible for theme.
Agreed. I am not sure how - within the rules - to simulate the Krytonian's powers.

We just started building our characters so I only know Green Lantern and Green Arrow. I think Batman wanted to focus on his martial arts and shurikens. So he might be a monk/ninja.
I think our Superman has a legal assimar level 1 character he plans on building off of.

For Green Lantern, I think a better route to go would be some sort of conjuration/construct specialist. Some good spells:
Chain of Perdition
Spiritual Weapon
Spiritual Ally
The Summon Monster Line (reflavored to be colorful constructs)
Wall of Force
Force Cage
Black Tentacles (make 'em Green)
Stuff like that. You can pick a variety of classes to make that work-- Ancestor Oracles get a ton of the spells and abilities that fit this, and I'm sure you could do something with a wizard whose bonded object is a ring.
I also second some sort of Paladin inspired business with deflect arrows and perhaps Brawler levels. Diana isn't a cheer leader-- she's the League's leading brick behind Superman AND a top end fighter. I'm pretty Paladins have some Truth oriented spells, don't they?
This peaks my interest, but I'd almost always go with monk for Wonder Woman. She hits with fists more often than anything else.
Monks are obsolete. See Brawler.
The boring part is most superheros hit with primarily fists. See Also: Superman, Batman, etc.
If you go for flavor, Wonder Woman is an Amazon. You could do a nice archer build with that concept.
She's also around as tough as Superman in current canon and I've seen her dressed more like a Hoplite, so making her a tank archetype might work as well. Paladin, Fighter, etc.

This goes back to what I said originally. She should be a Paladin:
Paladin of Iomedae would be a good fit.

Oh, you are so wrong. So, so wrong.
I gm'd a table at Gencon for The Winter Soldier, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Gambit, The Hulk, and Nick Fury. It was ten kinds of fun to run those guys through The Paths we Choose and we are trying to decide what we do next year at GenCon. DC heroes was thrown out as was Marvel villains. I applaud the OP for making a table of DC Heroes and wish him/her good gaming.

Best way to do Superman would be a Synthesist Summoner. Your "eidolon" is always worn so you are never outside it. Grab Increased Str, Dex, Con, Slam (x2), Fly (Su), DR (Chaotic, explains Myxylplk or however you spell it, since he will be LG) and you can use Evolution Surge to give all those abilities he shouldn't have but suddenly does.

For Wonder Woman, how about a Bloodrager with the Celestial bloodline? I always imagine Wonder Woman as the type of hero to charge into the fray, rather than stay at the back and provide support to the team. She seems to have a ferocity that befits a bloodrager, and heroism as a bloodline spell is very appropriate. (Though Skald is another reasonable choice.)
Ideally, someone could craft you some Bracers of Arrow Deflecting, instead of the common Gloves of Arrow Snaring...
EDIT: The Blood Conduit archetype might be appropriate too, especially if you're showing some skin (i.e., wearing light or no armor). It lets you pick up Improved Unarmed Strike or other maneuvers as bonus feats, and gives you the ability to cast touch spells as a swift action when delivering a combat maneuver or unarmed strike. Pow!
Its for PFS, so no crafting and no moving the slots around on magic items.
What about a Half-Elf for the race?
* +2 to any stat
* Elven Immunities
* Low-Light Vision
* Keen Senses
* Ancestral Arms can let you grab the lasso.
* Jungle Affinity gets you a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks while within jungle terrain, and you can move through natural difficult terrain at your normal speed while within a jungle.
Eh?
By chance, what level are you starting out at?

We are starting out as level 1, but we all agreed to share our build ideas up to level three. I did look at half elf. I tried making her back story to see what that would inspire from it.
Dianna started life on the island of Mediogalti where she grew up in the Crimson Citadel. Since childhood she was primarily trained in combat and ideology of her rather fanatical family. As she got older, Dianna begun disagreeing with her sisters of the Red Mantis and their beliefs in Achaekek. Her mother banished her from the island, having Dianna smuggled away to Varisia and into the city known as Korvosa.
Once there she quickly signed up with a new force that was being created at the time, the Grey Maidens. She was more then happy to provide help to the locals in contrast to what the Hellknights and her sister maidens did to aid the now chaotic city. Her time within that organization was brief once an outbreak struck the city and portions of it were abandon. Tired of wearing the masks of others tyranny and oppression, Dianna traveled the world to find her way.
Diana hopes to one day return to her island home and help guide her sisters into a brighter future.
