[PFS] Level 6+ Priority on buying Items

[DonKalleOne]

Hello,
im play a Zen Archer Level 6 and will be going Inquisitor with the Reformation Inquisition (Diplo focused) for the Rest of the Levels.

My Basic Statline is 14/14/14/10/20/8 AC 19 and Ini +7(at LvL + 12)
+10/+10/+10(KI)/+5 for 1d8+10

My Important Equipment is:
+1 Comp Longbow +2Str
Headband of Wisdom +2
Handy Haversack
Talisman of Breaths Life
Cloak of Resistance +1
Swarmbane Clasp
Shining Wayfinder (2pp)

I use UMD (+10) for MageArmor (Priority) , Shield and GravityBow.
Additionally I use a Ki Power for Barkskin +3.

In a Fight my AC should be around 26 if I push it around 30-32 (Shield and Prot Evil).

I have now 3 Items i'm interested in:
- Dex Belt for Higher Ini, Armor and Reflex Save
- Circlet of Persuasion for Higher Face and UMD
- Holy Weapon Enchantment for significant Damage Increase

My Fame is at 30 now so with 3-4 Sceanrios i should get enough Fame to be allowed to by the +1 Holy Bow.
My Gold now is 2000 and by gaining around 3300 each Scenario is should be able to buy the Bow directly once I reach 36 Fame.

Since I don't have real knowledge on the higher Tiers my question is:
Should I go straight for the Bow or should I get the other 2 Items first for an immediate gain?

Getting the holy on your bow is if you are combat focused with nothing else much in mind. The other two items will not disappoint you at your current level. The circlet of persuasion makes your character a little efficient in all charisma skills whether you have ranks in them or not. Being the face is not that bad now in the last two seasons of PFS.

First, make sure you have the special things covered:
* blunt, cold iron, silver and adamantine arrows
* oil of daylight
* fly
* lesser restoration in case of minor ability damage

After that, I would go for the Holy enchantment on the bow. It will allow you to bypass another type of DR (good) and pump your damage against a wide variety of nasty creatures.

My second choice would be the circlet of persuasion. If you have other Charisma based skills that are at a reasonable level, you may do that first. It will help you Aid Another the main face character in social situations. It really depends on how many Charisma based skills you have -- with an 8 Charisma I would expect the number to be small.

There is an archetype for inquisitor that let's you get wisdom to certain charisma skills. It makes for a pretty op build.

Ok,
to clarify Reformation Inquisition lets me get my Wisdom modifier instead of Cha on Diplo, Inti and Oratory and i use UMD often.

Also lets me Roll DIplo twice Wisdom/day (at Level 10 then).
So no Archtype needed (and they dont Stack).

Oil of Daylight and Fly is indeed something i overlooked.

If you're using Wisdom for those skills, I wouldn't bother with the circlet of persuasion.

[DonKalleOne]

thanks for clarification. this changes a lot of planing

I agree a Wis headband would plus those skills, AC, will, and your to hit. I would grab the +2 Wis now, then save.

As was said make sure you have various arrows to cover all materials.
