I have a Monster Summoner inquisitor with fauchard in a Rise of Runelords game. My friend has dwarf two-weapon fighting slayer. As levels go up I have noticed we need to start shoring up our defenses. Most obvious way is of course to update our rings, amulets and armor but you can only go so far with those. So I was thinking of getting our hands on the Shield spell. +4 AC is quite a boon but without multiclassing I don't see very many options on getting it.
Wand of Shield is cheap but requires UMD which is not class skill for inquisitors and the dwarf has abysmal charisma. I will invest points into it but it will be a while until I can use wands reliably. And I don't see the dwarf doing it at all.
Silver spindle ioun stone with Shield spell seems handy but it is pricey and requires me to put a point in Cha or get WIS/CHA headband.
I don't think Leadership and alchemist cohort is possible, my summons give the GM headaches already :)
Are there some other items or options?
Unfortunately Deific obediences are probaly off for the inquisitor since he follows the spirits of Mwangi (ravener hunter).
