PFS Gunslinger 7, What should the next 5 be?

[RyanH]

I have a Sylph Gunslinger 7/Cleric 1 (for travel domain). I don't want the next 4 to be gunslinger as he's getting pretty one-hit wonder like. Willing to retrain the cleric, what would be an interesting next 4-5 levels?

I'm looking for more options and things to do besides his shooting, so not just enhancements to that.

relevant selections so far:

Sylph - Pistolero 7/Cleric 1
Str 12, Dex 20, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 18, Cha 8
Feats Gunsmithing[UC], Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Reload, Rapid Shot, Weapon Focus (double-barreled pistol)
Traits magical knack, never stop shooting
Skills Acrobatics +12, Bluff +3, Climb +2, Craft (alchemy) +4, Heal +8, Knowledge (planes) +4, Knowledge (religion) +4, Perception +12, Sense Motive +12, Sleight of Hand +9, Spellcraft +4, Stealth +6, Survival +8, Swim +2, Use Magic Device +0; Racial Modifiers +4 Stealth
Languages Auran, Common
SQ agile feet (7/day), breeze-kissed, caging strike, gunsmith, pistol training, variant channeling (envy variant channeling[UM])

inquisitor? good mesh, still have divine spellcasting, eventually get Bane to slap on your pistols. Not to mention the judgement ability.

Have been thinking inquisitor could add some interest and keep the cleric feel already added (would retrain the cleric)...

... or 5 of cleric. Spells would add lots of options. Or 5 Wizard levels could be interesting, but would need to retrain some intelligence up.

Other wis based classes though... Ranger (keep BAB), Hunter, Shaman, Warpriest, Kineticist, Spiritualist ... don't know enough about each of those though...

Oooh.. it might be fun to go back through his prior adventures and find someone he killed, and have that be the phantom of some spiritualist levels...

If you are looking for mechanical ways to improve your characters (you want to be pretty tough at 9+ or you may find yourself rolling a new character) I'd say inquisitor would be the best fit, you already hit touch ac most of the time, spells like divine faith/favor/shield etc are great. being able to use a wand of CLW yourself is great. Cleric works too but you lose the more combat boost aspect of inquisitor along with the 2 extra skill points over gunslinger.

I'd stay away from wizard, as the spells you'd get would really not be worth it imo and the stats don't mesh.

Inquisitor with the conversion inquisition could help social skills. I would also say staybaway from wizard, cant cast in armor without failure, wrong stats etc.

Inquisitor, could work, but I'd also rec Warpriest. Quickened Divine Favors are tough to argue with.

Will build him up as an Inquisitor, and a Warpriest... will also check out Spiritualist... thanks!

Is true that I don't want to nerf him too much, he's likely going to run a seeker arc next.

Inquisitor definitely ended up looking the most interesting while maintaining strength and usefulness (and minimal rebuilding)
