Shadowdancer dip for my Barbarian Inquisitor?


Advice


I'm currently playing a Human Barbarian 1/Inquisitor 3.

ST 18
DEX 14
CON 14
INT 13
WIS 14
CHA 7

Feats:
Precise Strike (T)
Extra Rage
Power Attack
Improved Monster Law

It's a very mobile heavy hitting melee build with 50 base movement from Barabarian and Travel domain, with planned bonuses to flanking from teamwork feats.

Obviously I'm going to get to at least level 5 in Inquisitor to get the Bane ability before doing any more multiclassing, and probably level 8 so I get the second judgement and third level spells, but after that, what do people think about taking 3 levels of Shadowdancer?

I really like the flavour, and HiPS and a shadow flanking partner seems to fit in well with my tactical combat style. Darkvision could be handy for my human too!

Does that outweigh my loss of Inquisitor levels? Will it cripple me later in the game?

I've never seen anyone play a Shadowdancer so not really sure how well they work in practice.

Is third level a good place to stop? I already get a teleport ability from the Travel domain, but Shadowcall looks fun. I have a low charisma though.

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks for reading!


i think for Inquisitor is a bad idea to multi class. this calss is so over powered that every level you gain is... just a new world.
unless your game got no ooff cpmbat scenes.


The party hasn't really optimised, so power isn't too much of a problem. I don't want to spread myself too think though.

I guess I'll take the required feats in order to keep my options open, but probably won't end up doing it.
