Hi all,
In an upcoming Golarion campaign I am going to play a dwarven ranger and I'm considering taking a cleric dip at some stage, probably level 2 or 3.
My thought was being a Cleric (Separatist archetype) of Dranngvit to gain the Travel (Exploration) Domain power - and all the other niceties that comes along with a cleric dip.
My question is if it is kosher (RAW/RAI) to exchange the other domain with an inquisition? I would then end up with the Travel domain and the Anger Inquisition for my separatist cleric, which would be thematically sound for a Dranngvit cleric (vengance portfolio)
The way I read it it should work, but what do you guys think? Would you allow it as a GM?

It's completely legal for a class that receives domains to take an inquisition, although usually sub-optimal.
Inquisitions are intended for inquisitors, not for other classes that give access to domains. While a cleric or other domain-using class can select an inquisition in place of a domain (if appropriate to the character's deity), inquisitions do not grant domain spell slots or domain spells, and therefore are much weaker choices for those classes. These other classes use the appropriate class level as their inquisitor level for the purpose of inquisition granted powers (clerics use their cleric level as their inquisitor level, and so on).
Ok, thanks, I was unsure if mixing and matching was kosher, but the rules seem fairly clear! Thanks! :)

If a class has an archetype that grants a domain, may they select an inquisition instead?

They could indeed select an inquisition if they wanted to, though as has been said, no domain spells makes it usually a worse option that domains.
Not sure I agree Imbicatus, you only have to match domains and blessings if you have both. If you take an inquisition instead of a domain there is nothing to match. As far a can tell there is nothing forcing you to take a domain, just if you do it has to match.
