I'm looking at joining a RoW game in a month or so... The character concept that I'm wanting to play is a 1/2 Orc Skald who later goes into Sacred Huntmaster Inquisitor at level 5. It's 20 pt. buy, 1 campaign trait, 1 other trait.
I'm thinking about:
Str 15 (+2)
Dex 12
Con 12
Int 13
Wis 13
Cha 13
Alternate Racial:
City Raised
Shaman's Apprentice
Toothy or Sacred Tattoo - I'm favoring the Tattoo right now.
Traits
Failed Winter Witch Apprentice
Community Minded
Feats:
1) Skald's Vigor, Bonus: Scribe Scroll
3) Combat Expertise
5) Boon Companion
6) Bonus: Outflank
7) Pack Flanking, Bonus: Amplified Rage
9) Diehard???
10) Bonus: Precise Strike???
11) Stalwart???
Does this sound reasonable? Am I forgetting something important? Any other considerations? Thanks in advance!

Hi, If you want rage, I would just go one level of skald/barbarian, then the rest inquisitor. Splitting your levels like you are seems pretty bad.
Also! I would focus your stats more imo. Do you need 13 int? You are playing two classes with 6 skill points / level.
Also, skald does not give you the rage class feature, you need that in order to take amplified rage.
I would go with something like this:

Yeah, the only reason that I was picking up Combat expertise and the 13 INT required for it was that it's a prereq for Pack Flanking....And I just realized that I wouldn't get Outflank as a bonus feat because I'm an INQUISITOR not a HUNTER. D'oh! Looks like Pack Attack is just as good!
So, for the stat array, are you basically just suggesting that I drop INT to 10 and pump CON to 14?
On the plus side, my GM says that the Inspired Rage from the Skald counts as a "rage class feature." So I could take another Domain/Inquisition if I was so inclined. Or would you recommend sticking with Anger to get a better rage?
