Inquisitor / Intimidate optimization

[Ryu Bonkosi]

I have a few questions about how to optimize my Inquisitor that uses the intimidate skill through feats and other tricks. This is what I have so far:

Human Inquisitor 19/Fighter 1

Str: 9, Dex: 18, Con: 13, Int: 10, Wis: 23, Cha: 22

Heart of the fields trait
Domain: Chaos; Sub-Domain: Demon

Feats:
1: Power attack, Dreadful Wrath*
2: (Fighter) Weapon Specialization: Flameberge
3: Dazzling Display
5: Imperious Command*
7: Poison Specialization*
9: Vital Strike
11: Quicken Spell
13: Shatter Defence
15: Improved Vital Strike
17: ?
19: ?

Any feat with an * by it means that the DM might not allow it because it isn't Pathfinder core/Advanced players guide and might need to be changed.

If the 3 feats that are marked are removed what feats should I replace them with?

(The Flameberge is a 2-handed weapon with 2d8 for damage if you were wondering.)

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advanced.

do you mean dreadful wrath?? also why not go half or inquisitor for the amazing racial. adding half your level as a bonus on intimidate is incredible.
cant take weapon specialization without weapon focus. the dazzling display to shatter defenses should be rushed as early as possible i cant even find imperious command.
just think ahead then you dont need quicken spell rather see extend spell for self buffs.
and as far as your domain i would suggest Liberation. its so powerful and can save your life countless times.
i also like 1 handed weapons i can use 2 handed. that opens me up to more options. Scimitar is an awesome weapon. then you can make it keen for some big damage later in game.
with these suggestions you could support your friends better when you are injured using shattered defense with a bonus equal to your level+ranks+3(class skill)+charisma+2 orc racial. against a dc of 10+targets hit dice+wisdom mod.
you can take traits to make intimidate work on additional foes like unnatural presence to affect animals and vermin
love lust is a trait that gives +2 to intimidate.

Your inquisior seems all over the place. 9 Str + Power Attack? Weapon specialization without 4 lvls of fighter? Quicken Spell with not spell to be able to quicken? What kind of stat generation is this anyway?

I cannot find the feats on the pfsrd either.

It is easier for me to propose you a sample build or an intimidate-based inquisitor than fix your PC.

Alright here are some idea and suggestions and facts. Not all of these require eachother. I've used these for older characters.

1:Assuming the 9 strength is a typo, you're fine. If not, swap charisma and strength. You may lose points on intimidate but doing damage matters more.
2:Half Orcs are a little better at intimidating due to their racial bonus and their favored class bonus, but Half Elves can grab exotic weapon proficiency easily. I would recommend a good holy weapon or a Fauchard, failing that get a Opalescent White Ioun stone at earliest opportunity to gain proficiency in a 18-20 weapon.
3:Get a bludgeoning weapon or get the Blade of Mercy feat for nonlethal shenanigans.
4:Get Enforcer feat or Torture domain for huge intimidate/nonlethal shenanigans.
5:Get CORNUGON SMASH which is a free intimidate every time you use power attack, requires 6 intimidate.
6:Hook up Dazzling Display and Shatter Defenses as soon as they're available.
7:Get the Blistering Invective Spell
8:Enchant your weapon with "Cruel" first, as it adds sickened on top of shaken.
