I'm taking one for the team in creating a human Inquisitor that's completely skewed towards social skills. At third level he's 10-14 in Bluff, Intimidate, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival. Did this by making him high wisdom and using traits, his inquisition and feats to shift many skills including these off of Charisma to Wisdom and buff them. Basically he's an unappealing drunkard that you can't resist once he opens his mouth. Any time I see spy, negotiate, gather information, or find out in a mission description, I pull him out.
Here's the question. He's weak in attack capabilities. Only +4 with a light crossbow. I had come across a Wand of Scorching Ray and got wide-eyed until I remembered that's an Arcane item. With Charisma ending up being a dump ability for him, his Use Magic Device would be pathetic. Is there a Rod or Wand of similar power that he might be able to wield as an offensive item. I might even be happy if there was an item he could use that would simply handicap the enemy and/or buff the party every time. I'm just stuck in this spot and looking for ideas please.
