Wyvaran Inquistor

I am going to be playing in new game as Wyvaran Inquistor. I am tring to figure out which God would work also traits as well.

His backstory is he is looking for a Fae who stole an egg from his Clutch nest of newly laid eggs.

Stats:

Str: 12
Dex: 15
Con: 13
Int: 14
Wis: 16
Cha: 12

Feat:

Warrior Priest.

Aligment is : LN.


You have awful Str, so I suggest that you make an archer Inquisitor. You have low Con as well, another argument in favor of ranged combat. For best results, I suggest the Feather Subdomain (Animal domain). It will grand you an animal companion that at one point can be used as a mount, bonus to initiative and Perception and good synergy with your fly speed.

For traits take Reactionary and one for +1 bonus on Fortitude saves.

For feats you need the basic ones for archery ASAP so I suggest that you change Warrior Priest for Point-Blank Shot. After these you should obtain Presice Shot, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim in that order. Afterwards Manyshot is great, as well as the Combat Reflexes/Snap Shot/Improved Snap Shot chain. Improved Precise Shot is a must when it becomes available.

I also suggest that you swap your Dexterity with your Wisdom. Dexterity should be your main focus as an archer Inquisitor. 15 Wis is fine for a long time.

Aspu is a natural of course. You might also want to consider an Empyral lord.

Well as Wyvaran I can flight already that clumsy 30 ft. Aspu was one I did think would work as being Humaniod Dragon. Just which domain would work.


Well, one of the obvious choices would be a dragon god. Apsu a fantastic choice, both because he is LG (well, of the three I know of, he is the only nonCE one), and thus can work well with your alignment, and because he has the always coveted travel domain (although, does " Increase your base speed by 10 feet" affect your flight? I always forget.)

From a build perspective, I am unsure about your ability scores. You appear to be working off a 25 point buy, and the spread of scores is somewhat troubling. You have a racial boost to dex, but your DEX is still rather...sub par for such a high point buy. This is a problem both due to the fact that you seem to be focused on archery (right?) and need it for bonus to hit, as well as the fact that your race's flight is rather poor (your get a -8 penalty to it since it is 'clumsy', and fly is not a class skill for you), and you need as much help as you can get.

Do you need all that wisdom? Inquisitors do not get spells needing such a high wisdom score until 13th level, and you will find that the one or two bonus spells a day will not serve you too well. Also, you have a frightfully high INT for a race with a penalty to it. While skills are nice, you have enough from your class to serve well as a skill monkey.

How about this as a set of ability scores?
STR: 14 DEX: 18(16) CON: 13 INT: 10(12) WIS: 15(13) CHA: 12

For traits, I might suggest the trait called Wisdom in the flesh, since this is the only way you can get fly as a class skill without multiclassing. The +3 from that will help mitigate the problems with flight. Unfortunately, this is a religion trait available to worshipers of Iori....so another suggestion for a deity?

What is Apsu favored weapon?


Bite or quarterstaff. Yeah, not very good options, I'll admit.

Simple weapons have some rather nice options for a dex build though, and you already have access to bows.


Feather domain gives fly as a class skill, but I believe that anyone with fly speed has fly as class skill.

From Apsu domains, Travel is great for general use, but Saurian subdomain (Scalykind domain) is also strong and thematic. Main reason is that you can take an animal companion this way too.

I figures out my traits
Armored expert
Blood of Dragons.

Dragon subdomain


With the dragon domain you obtain a breath weapon, letting you qualify for Noxious Bite. Very powerful feat, not very useful to you if you follow the archery route. Still the breath weapon is decent by itself.
