English is not my main language, so bear with me :)

Hi everyone! After lurking this boards for some times and searching (without luck D:) a game IRL, I've decided to find a play by post game here. So I'm preparing some characters.
Problem is, I have zero Pathfinder experience, and the only one that I have in RPGs is only with various D and D PC games (Baldur gate, Neerwinter Nights etc.). Witch and Paladin have been relatively easy to build, but my Inquisitor has beem giving me more than an headache.

Here's the build:
20 point buy
CG qlippoth-spawn Tiefling
Inquisitor of Shaelyn
STR 16 (14+2)
DEX 12
CON 13
INT 10 (12-2)
WIS 18 (16+2)
CHA 8

Traits:
Repel Sin
Ear for Music/Something less fluff-y :P

Feats and domains:
No Idea :(

Skill ranks: Perception, Sense Motive, Knowledge (religion), perform (something), diplomacy, intimidate.

Background in short: Being one of the Motherless, he has been raised by the church of Shelyn. He lives following Shelyn's ideals of redemption, art and inner beauty while struggling against his own Cthulu-y, humanity erasing tendencies (yea, I know, not very original, but it's a start).

Now I see a lot of problems with this build:
1) I'm not sure about the attribute values: I'd prefer not to have a negative intelligence score or CHA lower than 8, but that odd-numbered CON score bugs me :/
2) Dunno where how put my skill point: I surely want perception, Sense Motive and Diplomacy ( I just can't live without a social skill :) ). Tough, it would make a lot of sense having a perform skill, Intimidate( even if I'd prefer not to be a jerk and use that only on enemies and for the combat Intimidate feats) and Knowledge somewhere. Having never actually played a game of Pathfinder, I don't know what skills are more useful and if I have enough Skill Points.
3) What feats to pick (aside from power attack): I surely want to wield a Glaive (Shelyn favored weapon), and tought at first to take Cornugon Smash/ Dazzling dispaly or something like that, but I'm not sure :/.

So, can anybody help?
PS: God, I've written a huge wall of text XD


I think I would go with Str 16+2, Dex 14, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 14+2, Cha 8. Your very first feat is Combat Reflexes.

Your available Inquisitions are Fervor, Conversion and Heresy. If you take Heresy or Conversion, you can be a great party face (and you should dump your Cha to 7, because you won't be using it). The first level ability of Fervor is bad, and it's a long wait to level 8.

From your domains, i like Luck and Charm(Love).

*Edit: Int 12-2, Cha 7.


Combat reflexes and the conversion inquisition are perfect, thanks.
I'll get to work and modify the build.
