Inquisitor of Besmara advice.

[mogwen]

Hello everybody,
I'm currently working with a dear player of mine on an inquisitor of Besmara for the skull and shackles AP(which is my favorite AP as a DM).
The results of our brainstorming so far is :

-female human inquisitor of Besmara with the heart of the fields alternative trait so that she would be a hell of a pilot.

-Sanctified slayer archetype for the roguish style and green faith marshall archetype for access to the aquatic terrain domain and spells and the ability to control aquatic creatures(cool and flavourful!.

-20pts buy: so far we go STR10,DEX16,CON14,INt10,WIS 14and CHA14.

-For feats we thought going fencing grace style,since Besmara's weapon is the rapier, the rest is open.

There are a lot of things we surely haven't thought about, and I hope you can help me find good ideas to make this scoundrel of the seas memorable!

Thanks in advance!

You don't get the domain spells for an Inquisitor, and the rest of the Aquatic domain seems iffy.

Have you considered swapping your domain for a familiar? A parrot/ raven/ thrush/ hawk/ dodo/ whatever is very piratical. I've found deliver touch spells from a familiar pretty handy for cleric buffs. Leave them holding the charge on a guidance for +1 on demand, and some of the new archetypes are sweet.

If you're going Fencing Grace, I'd at least consider a 1 level dip into Inspired Blade Swashbuckler, especially if you can retrain it in the later levels.

The Green Faith Marshall archetype actually adds the Terrain or Animal domain spells to the list of spells the Inquisitor knows.

Ah, cool. I missed that.
The Aquatic domain ability does look neat, the HD cap might get annoying.

Have you considered Monster Tactician then? Trade Judgement for Summoner-esque Summon Monsters as a standard for minute/level. It would fit nicely with the Aquatic animal control for a master of sea creatures vibe.

Well,thanks Markov,it looks really cool but the sanctified slayer archetype is just too good to pass with studied strike, a litle sneak atack and one or two slayer talents and since it already trades judgement, well it can't work!
