Inquisitor Equipment - What to buy next?


Advice


I'm looking for some help on what to spend my gold on for my Inquisitor.

It is a level 11 character with 8 levels in Inquisitor, 2 in Cavalier (Gendarme) and one in Rogue (Thug). We just hit 11th level and finished a chapter of the campaign so we'll have some opportunity to buy some gear.

I've got at least 60,000 gp to spend and probably closer to 70k or 75k.

I'm focusing on Fauchard and Heavy Armor. Using Cornugon Smash and Dazzling Display from the Cavalier order to debuff enemies and possibly make them frightened using the Rogue (Thug) abilities.

Our group is heavily melee based.

Here is my current worn gear:


    Ring of Protection +2
    Ring of Foe Focus
    Belt of Giant Str +2
    Cloak of Resistance +2
    Amulet of Natural Armor +2
    Boots of Elvenkind
    Full Plate +2
    Glamoured Fauchard +1
    MW Composite Longbow (+6 STR)

Here's a list of gear I'm thinking about buying, but please feel free to suggest something not on this list:


    +5 Mithril Full Plate of Speed - 50500gp (my GM will let me buy this)
    +5 Delving Mithril Full Plate of Speed - 60500
    Bane Baldric - 10000
    Gloves, Deliquescent - 8000
    Keen Fauchard, probably just +1 for now and get a better one later
    Boots of Striding and Sprinting - 5500
    OR
    Winged boots (or some other way to fly) - 16000

I like the idea of buying "best-in-slot" items and not have to worry about replacing the item later, which is why I've got the expensive full plate listed. Suggestions welcome, thanks for the help.

Put Cruel on your weapon. Whenever you hit someone that's shaken (if you ever choose not to make them frightened for some reason) they also become sickened.

Bane Baldric is amazing.

If you don't have plans for your head slot, Maiden's Helm will give you +5 intimidate. But then you can't get a headband of wisdom.

An Ominous weapon will give you another +1 intimidate while you wield it. Just put it on a spiked gauntlet is cheap & efficient.

Horsemaster's saddle (on your mount) will give you +5 to ride and give the horse all your teamwork feats.

Efficient Quiver is a minor but nice thing for your arrows.

There's also items that work with your challenge or teamwork feats, but it doesn't sound like that's your focus.


You are clanky and will fail your reflex rolls, make sure you get a Snapleaf so you don't die if you fall.

I also recommend a Jingasa of Fortunate Soldier or Circlet of Persuasion if you also do face skills.

I thought headband slot and the head/hat slot were different in Pathfinder, is that not the case?

Thanks for the tips. I will have to pick up a Snapleaf and maybe put Cruel on my weapon.

Sorry, you're right. The Helm is head slot, not headband. It's the phylactery on my channeler that was the conflict and I misremembered.

Go with a headband of wisdom - they're great.

The Jingasa and the Circlet that Deadalready mentioned are good, but they DO share the slot of the Helm. Circlet is +3 to all charisma checks, Helm is +5 to just charisma (and a spell 3/day). Jingasa is +1AC (luck) and 1/d turn a crit into a normal hit.


jingasa is a very useful item
cant tell you how many times it saved our groups paladin's life

I thought I would bump my doppelganger's thread, because his questions, like his screen name, eerily mirror my own. I'm playing a Sacred Huntmaster Inquisitor without multiclassing, and should hit 11 soon. My current gear includes:

Mithril Breastplate (Magic Vestment to enhance)
+1 Keen Menacing Falchion
Cloak of resistance +2
Extend metamagic rod (lesser, 3/day)
Eyes of the eagle
Gloves of reconnaissance (10 rounds/day)
Handy haversack
Headband of inspired wisdom +2
Jingasa of the fortunate soldier (1/day)
Ring of protection +1
Sleeves of many garments

My character is already really freaking powerful, aside from his AC being a little on the low side. But I have mixed feelings on spending money on upgrading my Ring of Deflection and such. The most interesting things to catch my eye include:

Prayer Bead (Karma): Amping up Magic Vestment and Greater Magic Weapon for morning buffing is great. Pricey though.

Ring of Tactical Precision: Honestly seems overkill considering I'm already rocking a +6 flanking bonus all the time. I've been trying to figure out if there was a way for me to use my teamwork feat swapping feature to have an extra teamwork feat in the mix, but can't find one yet.

Mnemonic Vestment: Seems like a great call, though I'm not sure which scrolls to buy to make it worth it, and it still uses up my limited spells per day.

Mithril Fullplate: Tempting, but will cost a feat, and the armor check penalty hurts my riding. Also slows me down when I ain't riding.

Bane Baldric: Seems like I'm not far from Greater Bane, and the FAQs seem to suggest the Baldric doesn't speed that along, only increases your rounds per day. Seems worth skipping.

Fortuitous enchantment: I've got Outflank and Paired Opportunist always on, so AoOs pop up. But, pricey.

Hosteling enchantment: Really nice to have to keep my animal companion from getting separated, but requires heavy armor and the associated penalties.

Thoughts?


5 extra Bane rounds a day is so, SO worth it. It is your Smite or Rage, you want it up as much as possible.
