Character Feedback

[Killer Shrike]

To try out the PFRPG variants for the first time I'm going to run the Serpent's Skull Adventure Path with two PC's starting at level 3.

Here are the two PC's in their current state. I'm looking for feedback and insights. I'm not going to countermand a player's choices "just because" but feedback will be brought to their attention. If there is an actual rules gaffe or mistake, a correction will be made, of course.

Gorbelo Torlan (LN Male Human (Chelaxian) Inquisitor 3)

Sandis Brakul (CG Male Human Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 3)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: FYI, I used the High Fantasy / 20 points point buy method for ability scores. I allowed each character a special non-magical item.

I probably would have taken a martial weapon such as a battleaxe for a barbarian, but everything else looks ok.

I don't know inquisitors well enough to make any recommendations.

Hi. I mentioned this in another thread where you linked the Inquisitor but I think he went a bit high on the Wisdom. Admittedly, as the only caster in the group, he's put a heavy load on himself but in my experience the Inquisitor is not well suited to trying to be a primary caster.

The Rager is in pretty good shape. I might consider dumping a stat, probably Int, to boost Str a bit.

Yeah, funny you should mention; I recommended the same thing vis a vis a battle axe or something along those lines, but the player trumped me with "concept".

Fair enough; I'll mention it to the player. The character is getting some benefit out of that fat WIS bonus though, so I don't think it's necessarily just the spell casting.

I'm actually pretty hopeful for the Inquis in this; with only two characters a hybrid class should really have a chance to shine.

Also, the player is a "batman" type guy; he likes utility oriented jack of all trades generalists characters than can contribute to just about any situation vs specialists. The player is really amped up and excited, so hopefully it will go well.

True enough. This guy is a meat shield / tank anyway. I'll mention it to the player.

I'm kind of concerned about the Invul Rager, actually. I did a progression up to level 20 just to get a feel for how ugly it can get, and after 10th level the character is pretty "wow". And he's survivable enough that it shouldn't be a problem to ride out the lower levels to get there unless the player does something really dumb or gets spectacularly unlucky. Now, of course, the players actual picks will likely vary widely from my secret extrapolation, but there's a lot of potential in the Invulnerable Rager AT.
