Need help with dwarf inquisitor build


Advice


I currently have a 25 point build for a dwarf inquisitor who's deity is torag. Please consider that my own party doesn't have a true tank or a hardcore healer. I would like a build with moderate ac, healing capabilities and moderate tanking capabilities. The alternative player in my party is a holy vindicator with 34 to 40 ac depending on buffs and defensive training.


Currently my character is lvl 12 and I have these stats, take notice I have a +1 to str from a manual of exercise, +2 to str from ability score increases Lvls 4 & 8, and +1 to con from lvl 12. I also took leadership as a feat, my GM ruled that leadership would get you no less than a cohort that is 2 Lvls lower than your main PC. I took a human archer to make up the dps I needed and keep him at distance so I'm not healing constantly. Here is my inquisitor stats.

Str 16
Dex16
Con16
Int 11
Wis 16
Cha 11


Disclaimer: I'm going to assume that the stats are still flexible. If not, disregard the text below

First, you should consider a lower INT and CHA: If you are considering being both a tank and a healer, then you cannot afford to also be face and skillmonkey.

Second, you are using your precious points from leveling up (and even a manual!) to increase your one of your lowest scores from 13 to 16: You'd be much better served by starting with Dex 15, using a level up to get to 16, and use those extra 3 points to start with a slightly higher STR (you can even get to 15 by just lowering 1 point in int or cha).

Still, if I were you, I would try to increase your STR a little more: part of tanking is dealing enough damage for your enemies not to ignore you.

My suggestion of stats would be

Str 20 (16 + 1 manual + 3 level up)
Dex 14
Con 16 (14 + 2 racial)
Int 10
Wis 16 (14 + 2 racial)
Cha 8 (10 - 2 racial)
