I am building another character, a Varisian inquisitor for the goddess of illusions, for myself, and I have several issues:
How to build him so he has an excuse to use bladed scarf (free proficiency)and repeating crossbow. Dump STR?
What domain/inqusition? Sivanah's are Knowledge, Madness, Magic, Rune, and Trickery
I want to build him so he never fails a will save against illusions. Ever.
I figure Iron Will and Weapon finesse at 1st level, with Faction and Religion traits.

Yeah, I'd leave Str to 13 and concentrate on Dex. That way you can still take Power Attack and use two-handed weapon such as the scarf to get the 1.5 bonus from that feat. I know, I know, bladed scarf is no Elven Curved Blade, but I have a very similar character for PFS here. It's slow in the making, but having a high Dex eventually means racking in aao's from your Teamwork Feats, such as Paired Opportunists. The inquisitor can be played as a true team player and having a good Dex score is one way towards it. Not to mention, you don't get a Str bonus to damage with an x-bow, so no loss if you do dumb Str.
Picking a good domain is difficult, but both Trickery and Madness can work well. Trickery(and Deception) play nicely with melee and Madness has an interesting buff/de-buff which bestows an ability you can't get from anywhere. And hey, getting to play a decent god with the Madness domain!
Then again, you may as well play a Sin Eater, since the new abilities replace a domain, saving you from making a choice.
Iron Will is kind of a waste for a wisdom-based character with a strong Will save, but if it does play into your concept, then by all means do take it. For traits, Skeptic works pretty great for your concept and then perhaps finalize the character with a flavorful faction trait. I tend to take ones which offer boni to Day Job Rolls, but that is just a pet vanity of mine.
Have fun.

Agile is equivalent to a +1 weapon enchantment, but it can't just be put on a normal one, so at least a +2 enchantment cost t get a +1 agile bladed scarf, which means getting your Fame to 22 before you can buy one. That's a lot of scenarios, which was the reason I suggested to get Power Attack eventually to even the damage compared to a dedicated Str build somewhat.
I don't see how you really need Cha, unless you wish to be a party face. None of the key abilities are tied to that ability and there are Inquisitions that substitute Charisma with Wisdom in social skills. Heresy is one, IIRC. Putting some points into Charisma or dumbing it is a difference of maybe 2 points. You might as well leave it alone. Anyhow, I would put Con to a minimun of 12, preferably 14, but otherwise it sounds pretty solid.
