Hello there,
I've been playing the same gunslinger for a few years now, in a local Skulls and Shackles campaign, and since we're all busy/married/withkids, the campaign has slowed down quite a bit in frequency.
I've basically become a bit bored with the gunslinger experience, but want to retain the same character in the roleplay sense, so the GM has kindly agreed to let me rejig my gunslinger into an inquisitor (of Besmara).
Without further ado, here's my current character stats (not optimized, but targeted blast + gun training + deadly aim against everyone in a 30-foot cone isn't too shabby and pulls the party out of several jams...).

We're getting a new player who wants to play a fighter, so I've decided to lay off the damage, as the fighter will help shore up the party on that front, and convert to inquisitor with the following simple rules:
- try to keep skills similar for flavor, unless inquisitor doesn't allow for it;
- try to keep ability scores similar;
- go nuts on feats and completely redo those, as the current ones are all oriented towards a ranged gunslinger;
- keep the pistols for flavor, so I'm thinking Black Powder inquisition there... since this plays against spellcasters, I'd be very receptive to any suggested builds that helps further 'take down' or 'harass' spellcasters.
Thank you! Any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
You really don't need to stick to your current ability scores. Those are not in any way essential to who your character is.

Looked at it for a while tonight... so far I'm leaning towards heretic archetype with war (tactics) domain...
@ Avoron: love 'strong-willed' but not sure about the rest of the archetype; overwatch style is too feat intensive methinks... (good for fighters perhaps, but the inquisitors has spells that can serve that purpose)
@ Menacing mauve: agreed - I'm bumping up Wisdom to 16 and reducing Dex by two points; also bumping up Con...
In general it looks like I may no longer focus on ranged attacks and 'may' have to figure out a way to go melee dex damage (weapon finesse and agile keen rapier? i.e. rapier is Besmara's favored weapon) However the GM would prefer I keep a firearm at my side (which can be used via the 8th level war domain power i.e. swift action to gain exotic weap prof firearms). So far the feats I'm retaining are:
Dodge
Mobility
Deadly Aim (not sure about this one at all, since it would only apply when I swift action activate my weapon master ability to use my firearms and only lasts 10 rounds per day -- Agile Maneuvers might be the way to go here -- would synergize with Dirty Fighting if I take it... see below)
(two more feats to choose from, so Weapon Finesse and... something... exotic weap prof firearms seems like a waste if you're not a gunslinger - sword and pistol feat is so insanely feat intensive that it's not even in the neighbourhood of being an option... Dirty Fighting seems the best option so far and fits my character the most thematically)
(three bonus teamwork feats to choose from - no idea so far)
