I trust someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but here's my understanding of the gestalt rules:

Level up as two classes at once. Take the class abilities and class skills of both. Take the better of BaB, HP, and skill points of each. I believe you take the better from each save, but I'm not as sure on this one.

Oh, and you can't take a combo sort of prestige class, like the Mystic Theurge.

Be sure to rock Profession (Sailor), Acrobatics, and the applicable Knowledges (likely Nature, maybe others).

I like to crank up Perception and Sense Motive as much as possible when I'm playing an Inquisitor, but that's more a personal love. I just don't like the idea of anything evading my notice. A boost to Perception can come from the Feather (Animal) Domain, and it comes with a hawk Animal Companion, which can be handy.

I suggest against any Archetypes unless it's just for flavor.

You know what? This guide would probably be more helpful: Jadeite's Guide to the Inquisitor

I take it as often as I can, but no one else in my gaming group does, so I usually take up the post as night guard. Everyone else gets to sleep soundly while I get the heroic feeling that comes with being a watchful guardian.

Are there any new feats for resisting being killed like diehard or toughness or godless healing?

Yes. Deathless Initiate tree.

This sounds like an extra durable hero's dream. *pleased*

I'm a total Inquisitor fanboy, you see, so I'd like to know a bit more about what they can do now. This is a general question for sure, but specifically I'd like to know more about the Archtype someone mentioned earlier that believes magic items are evil.

Thanks in advance!

I am also an Inquisitor fanboy, and have had them in mind as I read this book.

I feel the Inquisitor archetypes within UC are a little too narrow in scope. Not saying they aren't good at what they do though.

There is a good number of Inquisitor leaning feats, some good options.
Bane for Two-Weapon fighting, Increased Bane Usage, Swap Bane benefit out for other benefits, etc.

The Inquisitors get some neat new spells though, Litanies. A whole line of spells that are cast as a Swift action and last 1 round, mostly with no save. Deny a target AoO for 1 round, Target Fatigued for 1 round, etc.

There is also new Teamwork feats, which should help with Solo Tactics variety. Nothing that will topple Outflank and Precise Strike as the go-to feats for Melee inquisitors though.

You know, all in all, it sounds like I have plenty of extra toppings to look forward to. Thanks for the heads-up on the rest of the package :)

The Iconoclast can Dispel someone once per day as an attack, and can cause magic items to not work on enemies for a few rounds when they critical. Also, destroying artifacts.

Spellbreaker: Gets favored enemies, but for wizard schools. And instead of offensive bonuses, defensive. Basically, they're good at killing arcane casters, and making sure they don't cast. Seems like too much of a bookkeeping class in my opinion.

Witch Hunters are really good at killing arcane casters too. They can identify who cast spells too.

Thanks, team! This is much appreciated :)

I'm wondering if these two abilities would stack with each other for an Inquisitor with the Knowledge Domain; would you add your Wisdom modifier to the Knowledge "check" twice?

Lore Keeper (Sp): You can touch a creature to learn about its abilities and weaknesses. With a successful touch attack, you gain information as if you made the appropriate Knowledge skill check with a result equal to 15 + your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier.

Monster Lore (Ex): The inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on Knowledge skill checks in addition to her Intelligence modifier, when making skill checks to identify the abilities and weaknesses of creatures.

Thanks in advance for the help!

As an aside, have any of you played the Casssomir Pathfinder Society adventures?

Not a one! Looks like that's the tale for most of us.

Where should we be in the character creation process by now? I'll have some time today to kick out a character.

Both of my concepts have grown enough to be full-fledged characters at this point, but I was hoping to have the group sway me one way or the other. I'll likely default to the Oracle otherwise.

@abstract gm - In any case, I'll turn in my finalized character by the end of the day. Should I post it to the forum or email you?

I don't think it would be too much of a problem; it looks like our two characters are going to be cut from different cloth, and I could definitely see a rivalry develop between the two. We'll see what everyone else thinks.

@EpicViper - I will confess, only since you mentioned it, that I wouldn't mind seeing an Oracle in action, rather than another Inquisitor; chiefly because my familiarity with all the new APG classes is low, so if I can see three different ones in action here, it would be enlightening. Please don't feel pressured, though. :)

So far there's one person on either side. So here's a more detailed concept of each one:

Brayker, human Inquistor of Milani: Brayker uses only basic weapons such as the dagger and sling because he believes that power comes from the wielder and their faith. He has quite the distaste for slavery and tyranny due to his hometown sweetie being sold by her father just as their love was blossoming. Though he believes her to be dead, he hopes his quest will someday lead to her, one way or another.

Human Oracle of Nature: Though having a poor eyesight, the Oracle would be very wise and perceptive, guided by the whispers of nature. I don't really have an idea for a background on this one yet, but he/she would be geared toward healing and alternate sight sort of stuff.

I'd be willing to play whichever one people would be more interested in seeing played out. Ranked, my desire to play each character is about 9.5/10 vs 8/10. So I'm pretty excited either way.

Hey everyone,

I'm grateful for getting the chance to play. Good journey to us all!

I’d really like to play as a human Inquisitor with a sort of bounty-hunter flavor, using only simple weapons like a dagger and sling. I imagine the appearance of Hugh Jackman’s Van Helsing, a personality inspired somewhat by Malcom Reynolds of Firefly, and a bit of flavor from David (as in David and Goliath). Milani will probably be my deity of choice. Name: Brayker.

I see that someone else is considering an Inquisitor. This could serve as healthy rivalry or bond, but if anyone feels that the duplication would be a detriment, don't hesitate to let me know about it. Maybe I could be spurred toward the Oracle.

Hey all! So here's are my two disclaimers: this is my first play-by-post game and I don't really know anything about the campaign setting. On the bright side, I've plenty of role-playing experience and I'll pick up a copy of the campaign setting today. Thanks for having me on the adventure!
