So I'm assembling an inquisitor as a backup character in an ongoing campaign, and he's a dwarf. The dwarf alternate favored class bonus for inquisitors is
Add +1/2 to the inquisitor's level for the purpose of determining the effects of one type of judgment.
So now I'm wondering what is a better choice? +1 HP/level, +1/2 level for Destruction Judgement, or +1/2 level for Justice Judgement.
Normally I take +HP on characters, because EVERYONE likes more hit points, and it can save on CON if you're jammed for point buy with a build. The inquisitor I've go going here has 20 CON with items, and Toughness, so he's pretty well set for HP, making me consider the judgement choices.
What order and fighting style do you intend to use?
For reference, if anyone is checking this. The inquisitor is level 13, so the difference with the favored class bonus for judgments are from +5 to +7 for destruction and +3 to +4 for Justice.
And with the 3/4 BAB inquisitors have, I figured that an attack boost couldn't go amiss.
It's a two-handed weapon Witch Hunter Inquisitor with the spellkiller inquisition who uses a greatsword (thanks Gorum)
So frontline fighting, AC could use some work, but he's got already an average of 140 HP at level 13, so thats not too bad, attack bonuses are +19/14 for 2d6+12 unbuffed, and +25/25/20 for 6d6+32 with Bane, Judgements, Power attack and Divine Power
Personally, I'd go with whichever Judgement you intend to use more, the +hit or +damage.
Yeah I did some back of the envelope math, and Justice is a better deal than Destruction.
As for protection it's kind of pointless as I'm already getting a sacred bonus to AC, and Purity is nice but not necessary as his saves are already boss.
