I'm trying to come up with a sneaky, lying, deceptive character for PFS play and it seems like the Inquisitor might be a good choice.
Here are the requirements I have down so far for the character:
Race: Human, Half-Elf, or Elf
Stats: 20pt buy, no idea.
Archetype: Sanctified Slayer
Inquisition: Not sure. Maybe Clandstine, Heresay, Conversion, or Tactics?
I have no clue on what my stats should be (20pt buy), but I don't want to dump Charisma (RP reasons, even though inquisitions/traits can swap charisma to int or wisdom for some skills. Minimum of 10 charisma required, this is not an ugly or awkward character. She's more-so a seductress and honeyed tongue backstabber.)
I was thinking with Human, 12int, and the Skilled feat would give me 7 skill points a level. I'd like to focus on Bluff, Intimidate, Disguise, and Sleight of Hand.
What stats, inquisition, feats, race, etc would you pick to flesh out this character?
Go big on cha and take the seduction inquisition, at the least the first ability lets you force use of some of those social skills, be an elven calistria worshipper and feat yourself into an imp statted wasp familiar.
Or go norgorber and be a human with the crime inquisition who baits people into crimes with the inquisition ability and then blackmails them with their dirty secret.

The Clandestine Inquisition was catching my attention since it gives Vanish 3+wis mod times per a day, Sleight of Hand class skill, roll twice on Bluff, Disguise, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth skill checks and the ability to delay spells to either blast something with 2 spells at once or combo certain spells at later levels.
Heresy or Conversion Inquisitions seem pretty powerful to become a competent party face though.
I'll probably keep my Charisma around a 10 or 12. I'm mainly doing it to reflect the character's persuasion and attractiveness and usually I dump Charisma on other characters so it'll be nice to not do so this time.
Any suggestions on Stats, powerful Inquisitor feats I should take, or specific tactics feats that are really good?
If youre looking to go big on the social skills you could focus on strength for combat and grab intimidating prowess to add strength to intimidate, intimidating gaze to roll twice when you intimidate, cornugon smash for a free intimidate when you use power attack.
Humans and half elves both have alternate racial traits that will let you pick up a good two hander and elves come out of the box with the curve blade.
Id think a good place to start with stats would be maybe; str 14 dex 12 con 14 int 11 wis 14 cha 12. Thats without any racial bonuses or negatives. After racials I would suggest trying to get the str up to 16 just because at the end of the day this game is mostly about fighting but thats entirely up to you.

Well, the character concept more of a psycho killer. It's just that she uses stealth, lies, and deception to fool victims. Chaotic Neutral in nature and enjoys to watch her victims suffer, like my old ex-girlfriend. So maybe a different deity than Calistria?
I'm thinking of going Evangelist at 6th lvl onwards, I'll still be advancing Inquisitor but gaining more skill points, some boons, and a few extra toys.
With the skill points, bane, and sneak attack dice I'm thinking of going dex based and picking up an agile weapon asap? It would free up some stat points, is it worth it? Other option is str based but I feel a 16 with racial stat bonus isn't very high though, idk...
16+2/12/14/10/13/10
This being human gets you your 7 skill points per level.
The evangelist and the inquisitor get the same number of skill points per level, but evangelist misses out on the FCB.
being a half elf could get you fcb for evangelist and inquisitor and youd get the same stats chess pwn posted
you can't FCB a prestige class.
