If by Dervish Inquisitor you mean a melee focused character that has a focus on Dex, than I would say that they can be fun to play.

I like to play Inquisitors as having the right tool for the job so to speak when it comes to the creatures they face. Having a focus on dex allows you to be competent with ranged weapons and melee if you have gone that Dervish route. Agile weapon enchantment helps mitigate some of the damage output issues you will have at higher levers.


I like the idea, assuming your intention is to max out Dex and take the dervish dance feat as soon as possible. There a several ways you can take the dervish idea that would have a lot of flavor and be effective. I particularly like the idea of a div spawn inquisitor, with the desert domain, from Thuvia.

The biggest downside is, as a dervish you will limit the number of attacks per turn with just the one scimitar and thus lose the additive effect of bane in volume.

I think you will hit hard enough even with just one attack most of the time.
