The Hangover Cleric is a build that uses variant channeling to debuff. Channel energy is used by a neutral or evil PC with the "harm" variant to daze (Rulership) or nauseate (Ale/Wine) for one round, or even better make all the foes in the area provoke an AoO (Envy) for their turn's action. The feat Selective Channeling is needed, and Improved Channel is nearly as important.
The feat Channeling Scourge allows a Cleric 1/Inquisitor X to do the same thing. The obvious problem is that a high-Charisma Inquisitor is not focusing as much on combat.
I am wondering if a Varisian Pilgrim Cleric 1 / Sacred Huntsmaster Inquisitor X could fix this weakness, at least for the first ten or twelve levels, perhaps in combination with the feat Evolved Companion. (I recognize that animal companions lag behind in high-level play.)
Can an animal companion, variant channeling, domain abilities (perhaps from three domains?) and Inquisitor spells contribute respectably enough to the party?
(The Infiltrator Inquisitor archetype is also compatible, and could perhaps extend whatever we design to make an evil PC pretending to be neutral. But let's save that for later.)
