Fighter / Inquisitor, is it viable?

[sgtrocknroll]

Looking to go range monkey inquisitor, and my GM suggested mixing in 3 levels of fighter to get Armor Training 1, as the class also gets Martial Weapons.

Bought Fighter 1 / Inq 2, and was planning on waiting to level 7 before taking the second level of Fighter so I get Bane.

Is this a viable option, or am I better of sticking with Inquisitor?

And which is better, taking a 14 Str and taking a mighty composite bow, and 2H sword, or 14 Int for the skill points, the combat expertise tree, and +2 skill points?

Straight Inquisitor is plenty strong, and you might not miss the martial weapons all that much. High Strength is my suggestion since the Inquisitor really gets plenty of skill ranks.

What is best always depends on how you want to play the class. You gain some martial prowess with the fighter, but you lose skill points and class features for the inquisitor. I would not take any fighter levels.
