Hi everyone. I have a Silver Crusade Inquisitor in planning, that would benefit greatly of Enlarge Person. The thing is, the built already requires a 2 level dip into another class and I don't want to lose further levels. As my charisma sucks, a wand of enlarge person is also out of the built. So: how do I get it? The only Item, I've found so far that would benefit me is:
Cloak of the Hedge Wizard
Any other ideas?
Potions of Enlarge Person are only 50 GP, and avoid the problem of taking a full round to cast. Take the Accelerated Drinker trait, and as long as you walk around with a potion in hand, you can drink as a move action and still get an attack. The 50 gold rapidly becomes trivial, and much less of a cost than an undesirable multiclass or trying to get UMD up to a reasonable level.

Sounds like a plan... I will prolly get the Cloak anyways, to have one free Enlarge Person every day and than start drinking if noone can support me with a buff...
any other ideas are also welcome though ;)
Just out of curiosity: there are no ways to draw a potion as a swift action, correct?
Tiefling with a prehensile tail is about it.
For PFS, you can go ahead and get the wand and ask a party member to use it on you- it's on a lot of spell lists so you'll probably have someone capable. (Only a solution if you can pre-buff- I wouldn't ask someone to use a combat action to use my wand.)
Put the wand/potion in a spring-loaded wrist sheath (you can wear 2) and draw them as a free action! :)
edit: maybe a swift action, but it fits either way
What about the Growth subdomain?
I'm also curious about this two level dip that the build "requires."
My wife has this build without all the intimidate stuff, she uses Living Monolith to grow.
I am not sure your intimidation combos will work. You need a standard action to antagonize and a full action to combat patrol, I know you could extend antagonize one round to get this to go off every other round. Even still, I don't think you still get more than one AoO against any single opponent in a single round for movement. We were pretty disappointed when we first read this.
Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn't count as more than one opportunity for that opponent.
Does combat patrol undo this language? I am not 100% convinced.
You can get Enlarge Person 1/day as a part of an armor bonus:
Titanic
Price +3 bonus; Aura moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Weight —
A suit of armor with the titanic ability is almost comically oversized, though the effect is superficial and the interior fits a creature normally, with no adjustments necessary. A creature wearing titanic armor is considered one size category larger for the purpose of using or being affected by special attacks that depend on size, such as swallow whole and trample. Once per day on command, the wearer can increase her size as if using enlarge person (even if the wearer is not humanoid) for 1 minute. In addition, once per minute as a free action the wearer can add the armor's enhancement bonus to a single Strength check or combat maneuver check, or to her CMD against a single combat maneuver.
Because of its great bulk, the armor check penalty of titanic armor is increased by an amount equal to its enhancement bonus.
Construction Requirements
Cost +3 bonus
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, enlarge person
You can take this feat for intimidate as part of an melee attack:
Enforcer (Combat) from the APG
Prerequisite: Intimidate 1 rank.
Benefit: Whenever you deal nonlethal damage with a melee weapon, you can make an Intimidate check to demoralize your target as a free action. If you are successful, the target is shaken* for a number of rounds equal to the damage dealt. If your attack was a critical hit, your target is frightened* for 1 round with a successful Intimidate check, as well as being shaken for a number of rounds equal to the damage dealt.
Chev,
Take Power Attack and Cornugon Smash. Please. That combo will get you a free intimidate every time you hit with a PA. I'm not sure what the purpose is for a dip in relation to an Intimidate build as the Inq is MADE for Intimidate useage.
Make sure you put Ranks in Linguistics, as some spells (Blistering Invective, I'm looking at you...) are dependent on the target understanding you.
Intimidating Prowess isn't really all that necessary if you put ranks in Int every level, but I think you said your Charisma is not all that high. Make sure you take Outflank and Paired Opportunist. That way your "Flank Buddy" will grant you AoO every time he/she crits. For extra fun, you can ask your buddy to take those two feats as well so you can set up a daisy-chain of AoO's by critting and proccing off of each other. Make sure to use a weapon with a high crit range (Elven Curve Blade, Greatsword, Falchion etc). Your buddy should do the same.
P.S. My DM is pretty smart and saw right through the daisy-chain idea. He put the law down quickly that we were allowed only one full cycle of Crit-proc AoO-AoO etc.
