I am exploring backup characters for my game although I am sure my current character will hang around for a while.
Basic Concept: The character was a special holy assassin for the church but is now on the run due to political backstabbing and is out for revenge. Because it is from political backstabbing the character would still retain inquisitor abilities since he committed no sin.
Classes Used:
Inquisitor: with the Heretic Archetype (UM).
When I saw the abilities that this gave it just screamed I wanted to go with ninja.
Ninja: I am not sure if there will be an archetypes that will follow but I think the standard Ninja will be just fine.
Things I haven't decided on but would love suggestions.
1. Stat Spread: It will probably be point buy 25 for the stats but other than that I am not sure how I will handle it.
2. Level Division: I do know that I want mostly Ninja but I am thinking it might be nice to have an extra judgement as well as the other abilities. So I am thinking Inquisitor 1/ Ninja 19 or Inquisitor 5/ Ninja 15, but I would like some feedback on this.
3. Inquisition: I can't decide between Anger, Conversion, Heresy, or Zeal Inquisitions. Inquisitions are Inquisitor only Domains from UM.
4. Race: I have not even yet gotten this far so any suggestions extremely welcomed.
5. Feats: Same as 4.
6. Skills: Same as 4.
7. Gear Focus: Same as 4.
It's weird becuase Inquisitors are a Wis based class, but Ninjas need a decent enough Cha to get better use of certain class abilities and ninja tricks.
What's also funny is that a lot of the inquisitors abilities replace Cha with Wis.
I don't have many suggestions other than Aasimar for race for the boost in relevent stats. you have a lot off flexilibilty going with this.

Well the Ninja is still in the play-testing phase and it seems that a lot of people are against the Cha vs Wis thing for Ninja's. I don't think this will change things much but the folks at pazio might go and add an option, perhaps a key power or something.
There is a way to change it of course or at least slightly and that is by taking a dip in Monk which I can then choose to set my Ki growth by Wis or Cha.
If the ninja possesses levels in another class that grants points to a ki pool, ninja levels stack with the levels of that class to determine the total number of ki points in the combined pool, but only one ability score modifier is added to the total. The choice of which score to use is made when the second class ability is gained, and once made, the choice is set. The ninja can now use ki points from this pool to power the abilities of every class she possesses that grants a ki pool.
However, I think that maybe a pain in my dairy-air and I think if I really want a large Ki pool then a few doses of the Extra Ki feat will be more than fine as it adds +2 to the Ki pool each time.
As for as abilities go I think that the Inquisitor and Ninja compliment one another nicely but the problem is of course stats. I think I need to decide how I want to engage in combat whether or not I will be ranged or melee because that might determine whether or not I take a hit in Str or Dex.
