Hey all
I'm looking for some advice I making an inquisitor of pharasma for a Carrion crown game starting on the 16th of this month and I'm having some trouble since I never played one before. I really like the class and I was trying for an undead hunter type theme but the vampire hunter archetype kinda sucks imho. I'm about to scrap the whole deal and maybe play a paladin with undead scourge or oath of undead archetype. I'm going to be the frontline melee guy since everyone else who is playing is going for spellcaster type thus far.
Druid (the player is going for a weird necromancer theme he summons the skeletal remains of animals. Not sure how that is going to work with an undead hunter but whatever lol)
alchemist (mad bomber type)
Sorcerer (not sure on this one as he is still undecided)
and possibly a cleric
Callister Ashnakov Inquisitor of Pharasma level 1
(we rolled 4d6 - the lowest result for abilities and reroll anything 9 or below I did pretty good on this)
S 20 (18 +2 racial)
D 14
C 15
I 12
W 16
C 11
AC 22 (9 full plate + 2 for heavy shield +1 dex)
Touch 11
Flatfoot 19
Saves: fort 4, ref 2, will 5
Traits: Armor expert and Chance savior (we were asked to take one from the ap so we would have a reason to be in the adventure)
Feats: armor prof, Heavy
Additional traits (I took ustalavic noble and corpse hutner to establish my background as a noble from Caliphas and a undead hunter cause all the archetypes suck except for the preacher one which didnt fit what I was going for my buddies think I'm wasting a feat on this)
I haven't settled on a domain yet I'm debating between the healing and the repose domain or the conversion inquisition for the skill bumps in bluff diplomacy and intimidate
Any advice would be welcome
Thanks in advance

How are you able to afford full plate at level 1?
I'm not sure heavy armor proficiency is actually worth it for you - you can get nearly as much AC out of medium armor with your dexterity, and it saves you a feat. You'd have a 20 AC in chainmail which is still very good for level 1.
I'm currently playing an inquisitor of Pharasma, and I took the repose domain. The First level granted power is kinda okay, but the 8th level one is very good for CC.
You might think about the feat Favored Judgement from Ultimate Magic:
Favored Judgment
Your judgment against a particular type of creature is particularly harsh.Prerequisites: Wis 13, judgment class feature.
Benefit: Select a favored race from the ranger's favored enemies chart. Any sacred or profane bonus you gain from a judgment is 1 higher for attacks you make against or take from creatures that match the selected favored enemy.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a different favored enemy.
It basically adds 3-5 inquistor levels to your judgement vs the creature type selected.
lol misread the cost on fullplate (whoops) changed it to a breastplate and took the favored judgement. Good call on both thanks
I like that subdomain but with my wisdom at 16 the conversion inquisition is like getting skill focus in three skills that I see myself using a lot Bluff, diplomacy, and intimidate.

A net is always a good idea. Throw it in the first round, and bash the enemy while he struggles. Even without proficiency, it's only touch. Also, with the Souls subdomain ability, you can entangle ghosts and seriously screw them. Every martial character I have ever made has had a net, and it always got used at some point.
Need to up the chance your buddy's reflex save or touch spell hits?
Net.
Need to capture an enemy and do not want him to run away?
Net.
Want to stop that pesky spellcaster from buffing his buddies and debuffing you?
Net.
