Hello guys, I've just seen the Antiquarian Investigator's Archetype and I really love the concept.

It doesn't change the class too much, but it gives me a lot of RP interactions.

Since I've never played the Investigator, I'm here to find a way to optimize the build, but mostly to see if there are some thematic feats/items/trait/race I could fit to be the best Reno Jackson alive.

The story is fully written by my GM and I'm starting at 5, but I would like to have an idea also of buildpath up to level 11-12.

Race: Half-Elf

Ability Scores: Strength (6) - Dex (18) - Constitution (12) - Intelligence (20) - Wisdom (10) - Charisma (10)
[But I don't really like this stat array, since INT isn't that good, since I can't blast things]

Feats:
1° Skill Focus (Linguistics) - Orator

Starting Wealth: 6k

Whip is pretty thematic for the character, but I'm actually playing a Whip warpriest with the same GM, so I would like to use other weapons, maybe switch completely to Strength, but IDK.

I hope some of you, will be able to help me


Hi guys, I'm actually playing an Hardcore Campaign based on Undeads.
I'm the support of the party that sometimes needs to go meelee (we are only 3 players), but since I don't have lot of HP (long story) i need a good AC to be able to avoid most of the damage from attacks.

Stats/Race/Class/Mystery can't be changed, but I actually have:

16 STR (20) - 10 COS (14) - 16 DEX (20) - 12 INT (12) - 8 WIS (8) - 22 CHA (26) - [Level 10] - [Half-Orc]

My AC is: 10 + 5 (Dex) + 8 (Ascetic Armor) + 4 (Shield+2) + 8 (I have access to smite Evil, long story again) + 2 (Natural Armor) + 1 (Dodge Feat) = 38
- EagleSoul can give me +2 Sacred bonus = 40 (I have it from Paladin list, so 4th level only)
- Ironskin can give me +4 Natural Armor= 44
Touch AC should be: 24 (If i have done math correctly)

Now i know that it seems a lot, but campaign bosses have lot of way to buff themselves or touch Attacks, so I was wandering if there was a way to go beyond this.

I'm looking forward to take osyluth guile at 11 for an extra +8(actually +10, since i'm not fighting defensively RN) versus bosses, that would take me up to 48/34.

I don't think Shield Focus is worth, since it's a feat for a +1 only for normal AC, and I'm looking mostly to boost touch AC.

I always have hands occupied, so Crane Style feat chain is out of league rn.

I was thinking about taking Combat Expertise at 13, since I will be able to pump INT to 13 at 12.

Asap I will buy the ioun stone that gives +1 insight bonus to CA.

I already have Cassock of the Black Monk, but long story short, I cannot take its bonus since i made my God mad and my redemption has just started.

Every Spell/Item/Feat that can stack with my actual AC is welcomed.
Also Every spell that could lower Hit Chance of UNDEAD enemies.
I could also buy a Wand since I have UMD as class skill.
I could also consider traits, since I can still take a drawback for it.
