Greetings all!
I'm trying to make a religious (Grenadier) Alchemist, and I was trying to determine which would be a better one to three level dip: (Divine Hunter) Paladin or (some form of) Inquisitor.
I realize both options make me incredibly MAD, but his role is to be a party face, pinch healer, and ranged bomber.
I'm looking at the following stats
Human or half elf
Str 8
Dex 15
Con 8
Int 15 (+2)
Wis 14
Cha 14
Thanks for your input!

Are you dipping just to get the party face? If so, you don't need to do so. Just use clever word play to get Diplomacy based on your int.
I think that you could be religious without dipping into other classes. Alchemists can be great ranged bombers without dips. What precisely do you see this dip getting you?
Hmm

I was leaning towards Divine Hunter paladin mainly for the free Precise Shot, but also detect evil.
The inquisitor judgment seems more flexible than Smite Evil, and some of the 1st level domain powers don't scale based on level.
Isn't Evangelist also a one level dip? (As the first level doesn't count towards your existing class)

Alchemist? With diplomacy (face) and healing?
Diplomacy?
The aforementioned Clever Wordplay.
Healing?
Infusion Discovery. Now anyone can drink the healing extracts you make.
Use Magic Device + CLW wand. Pragmatic Activator trait to have it based off of intelligence.
Your class already allows you to heal and use social skills. I wouldn't dip at all. The two traits will pretty much have you set.

Alchemist doesn't need to use UMD to activate a wand of CLW. CLW is on the alchemist formulae list, and alchemists can use spell trigger items of spells on their list.

Then that works even better...between sharing infusions and just using healing wands you should be set. I was playing a PFS Alchemist before and the GM ruled I couldn't use a wand of CLW, never re-looked it up.
