Crane Style for an Inquisitor


Advice


It seems to me that crane style would work pretty well with some of the teamwork feats the inquisitor gets. I am looking to play an inquisitor of Irori and came up with the following:

Race: Elf (any would work here, but this is what I chose for story and longsword proficiency.)

Feats
1st: Dodge, Improved Unarmed Strike (from Irori's favored weapon)
3rd: Paired Opportunists, Crane Style
5th: Combat Reflexes
6th: Broken Wing Gambit
7th: Crane Wing
9th: Outflank, Critical Focus
11th: Crane Riposte
12th: Precise Strike
13th: CRITICAL FEAT???
15th: Improved Critical,Seize the Moment
17th: OPEN
18th: Coordinated Charge
19th: OPEN

So the idea is to use the Justice Judgement to offset the attack penalty and use Broken Wing Gambit and eventually Crane Riposte to generate AoO's. He'll mainly use a longsword one handed so I am debating on the usefulness of fitting in Power Attack. I will focus on Strength but I could see this being better as a Dex based character--not sure how you'd fit in all the feats without multi-classing.

Here is where I need some help:

Domain or Inquisition? Not sure where to go here. The campaign is focused on ferreting out and hunting demons so I was thinking about the Revelation Inquisition

Feats? Any advice on the open ones or rearranging things? I'd like a good critical feat and might try and convince my DM to allow Accursed Critical through Mark of Justice. Maybe drop the critical feats altogether and force in the snake style feats and combat style mastery? Extended and Extra Bane? I have never played an inquisitor so I am not sure how much 'bane' is enough.

Thanks

What is your stats?

What books are allowed?

What Races are allowed?


Str 15, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 10

Pretty much anything in the PRD

Race is pretty much set at elf.

Have you seen this?.

With a Guided AoMF, you can pump wisdom, and drop strength.
Later, you can get a Mithral Breastplate with the Brawling enchantment,
seen here.
This will also mean you can use Crane Wing, while using a shield.


Just a quick note: Broken Wing Gambit is NOT that great a feat for an Inquisitor. Only the Inquisitor can get the benefit from it, not his allies, unless they actually possess the feat themselves.

Also, the revelation inquisition is not within Irori's purview. You might check out the conversion inquisition, as it lets you focus on wisdom for most of your social skills, so you can fairly safely dump your charisma in favor of wisdom. The dominate 8th level ability is pretty nice too.

BBT d20pfsrd isn't the same as the PRD....

The two sites contain much of the same information.
PRD is a bit harder to search.
I know they are different.
If it's the same information, why does it matter?


Cuz the guided enchantment isn't in the PRD as it's never been updated to PFRPG rules (still 3.5 from the OGL adventure path Curse of the Crimson Throne) and Chainsaw (OP) said PRD.


Just a thought, easily disregarded, snake style works wonderfully on inquisitors.

The Agile enchantment is another option. Decreasing MAD, is always good.
