So, long story short, they asked me to join an ongoing Rise of the Runelord AP, precisely in the last chapter, after 2 of the former players leaved for unknown reasons. And they asked me to fill the "ranged damage" role. So here we go with what i've got till now.
Dredd- lvl 16 human inquisitor, spellbreaker archetype, 15 point buy.
Stat:
Str: 11
Dex: 28
cos: 20
Int: 8
Wis: 20
Cha: 7
Feat:
01 PBS, Precise Shot
03 Rapid Shot
05 Deadly aim
07 ??? Improved Initiative ???
09 Manyshot
11 Clustered Shot
13 ??? Comabt Casting ???
15 Improved precise shot
Equip:
ring of evasion
headband wisdom +6
belt of dex/cos +6
greater brachers of archery
winged boots
celestial armor
composite bow +3 seeking
??? ring of freedom of movement ???
google os night (awesome purple lens for an Inquisitor XD )
cloak of resistance +5
handy haversac
efficient quiver
miscellaneus
This total for around 330k and was already approved by the GM, could still use some tips/changes.
Now some combat stat:
Initiative: +18
Assuming a first round of Divine Power & Judgment of Justice/Destruction/Purity and Heroism precasted:
To Hit = + 12 + 9 dex + 2 bracers +3 bow + 1 pbs - 3 deadly -2 rapid + 2 heroism +6 divine power +4 judgment =+36/+36/+36/+31/+26
Damage: 1d8+ 6 deadly +3 bow +1 bracers +6 divine power + 2 heroism +4d6 greater bane = 1d8 + 23 + 4d6
HP: 184
Saving throw:
Fort +26 Ref +25 Will +26
This looks solid to me. Any tips?
Not sure about the feats with the question mark too.
My real problem is on spells known and on arcane classes of magic. I need some advice about which order to pick the arcane school of magic due to the archetype, from the most dangerous to the least.
And i really could use some tips on the inquisitor spell list: i've got divine favor, heroism, divine power and heal. And now i don't know where to go :D
Thank you in advance guys :D
You're missing a +2 hit and damage from Bane
Also isn't your AC gonna be horrible?
Also your missing the extra attack from divine power
The extra attack from divine power is counted. base is +12/+7/+2, adding one from rapid and one from divine power.
Yep, AC is a magnificent 27. The other players said that it is heavy magic, so i focused on other type of defense.
Could work on it pretty easily too, swapping the ring of freedom of movement for an amulet of natural armor +4 and maybe a ring of shield, plus a judgment of protection would put me on the 36-37 range.
Good call on the bane too
EDIT: I'll probably pick Abadar, with the domain of Travel if i have to give up to the ring of freedom. Ignore difficult terrain and teleport are good picks
Have you calculated the manyshot arrow?
manyshot gives an extra arrow, not an extra attack. if the first attack hits, two arrows hit. If it misses, two arrows miss
You'll note I said extra arrow in the question?

This was my archer Inquisitor that I ran for RotRL. You can probably find some tricks in there to help you.
yep, i counted the manyshot arrow.
So Claxon, you went for a mounted inquisitor? Interesting enough, but i don't like the idea. The blood money trick is LOL :D
The spell list is really helpful, precisely what i was looking for, thank you.
Blood money was used only to cover the expensive material component of Stoneskin, followed by using restoration on myself to get rid of the strength damage.
This is also the only campaign where it's appropriate to use.
Because Bloodmoney is a spell uncovered in the course of this campaign. Our wizard learned it and I asked him to make a wand of it for me.
I understand you may not like the idea, but mounted archery is really powerful. It allows you to position yourself around the battlefield and still always get a full attack, without penalty, unless your mount double moves. It pretty much removes the need to have Point Blank Master (which you cant access anyways). My mount was also designed to be very defensive for me. I used aid another to help defend myself against attacks that were directed at my Inquisitor.
He was virtually impossible to hit.
A few items you may want: a Goz Mask (or Fogcutting Lenses) because fog is annoying. A Silver Nocking Point because wind can be the same. Gloves of Elvenkind because you don't really want to spend a feat on Combat Casting.
On spell selection you probably want a few of the litany spells - even inquisitors have swift actions available sometimes. Named Bullet (&/or Greater) is another buff you can cast in advance as is Magic Vestment and Greater Magic Weapon.
assuming that i don't need improved initiative and combat casting, what could i pick?
Litany are very powerful indeed.
Good item calls avr, will surely take the silver nocking point and the gloves.
Claxon,I've asked further clarification and the GM houserule that Escape Route with the mount is a bit broken and i really can't question the rules of a game i'm joining at lvl 16...
Escape Route on a mount with you also having it is really good.
I can understand a GM deciding it shouldn't work, but just to be clear, by the rules it does work. That's why it's really really good.
Even without it, being mounted is really great because it allows you to move into position without expending your move action.
