Help me choose a domain / inquisition for PFS.


Advice

Scarab Sages

I am taking a one level dip in crusader cleric of Zon-Kuthon for my half-orc unchained rogue x / unchained monk 1. The cleric dip will allow me to take crusaders flurry with the spiked chain for Dex to Damage.

I am having trouble deciding between the Darkness Domain and the Conversion Inquisition. Darkness gives free blind-fight which will mesh well with keen scent, as well as 1/day obscuring mist. But the conversion Inquisition will let me use wis for social skills, and I dumped CHA.


Considering it's PFS, I'm certain someone else already has good social skills.

But it's good bang for the buck though.

I was just wondering about something pretty similar to this myself. Are there any inquisitions worth taking instead of a domain?

You would be surprised. There usually is someone with good skills, but there have many times where there wasn't and my Dwarf with a 5 CHA was stuck being face because at least my sense motive is high.

It seems to be kinda location specific. I've been at lots of tables with no face character. I've been at several where the best diplomat had a +1 from a 12 charisma.

Between those 2, I would take the conversion inquisition. There are other ways to get around darkness/blindness/concealment. But there aren't as many ways to get an effective +4 to +6 on your social skills. And social situations come up a lot more often.

For a pure cleric probably not, but there are some that are tempting:

Anger: Rage as a Barbarian -3 with rounds per day based on wis. You don't get rage powers, but you can rage more than the Rage Subdomain, and you get an immediate action counterattack if hit.

Conversion, Heresy, or Reformation for skills.

But for a dip, your level one domain power will never grow, but your inquisition is going to be useful regardless of your cleric level.

The more I think about it, the more I am convinced to take the inquisition.


With your deity selection conversion is about all there is. 1st level Darkness power with a half orc is relatively weak and the rest of the domains aren't much better. Conversion is at least relevant throughout the career.
