For traits skip heirloom weapon and birthmark they just are not worth it. Get a tattoo of your holy symbol for 100gp.
I would keep str at 17. Path two in the one I'm more interested in. Awesome point you may consider retraining percise strike to outflank, or broken wing gambit.
Stalwart resolve has its uses, shield of faith, True strike, bless, expeditious retreat, or instant weapon are a few spells I like.
What did you have in mind by "face skills"? None of what you built (including CHA) is geared toward being a "face". What are you willing to sacrifice to be better at Diplomacy, Intimidate and Bluff? With a CHA of 10, you'll need skill focuses or other feats to up those skills and/ or different traits.
With the right inquisition an inquisitor does not need CHA. Reformation allows the inquisitor to use WIS for Diplomacy, Intimidate and Perform (Oratory) instead of CHA. At 4th level he can roll twice and take the higher roll for these skills a number of times per day equal to his WIS bonus. Since Sense Motive is already a WIS based skill he is fine as the face with a 10 CHA. He could actually dump CHA without too much penalty on his social skills. About the only thing a CHA penalty does for an inquisitor with a suitable inquisition is usually to give a penalty on disguise. Dumping CHA and raising WIS is something to consider.
Improved monster lore is a good feat for first level. Since you don’t have a BAB of +1 yet you are limited in what you can take at first level. By taking improved monster lore your ability to identify monsters scales up as you level up. This allows you to invest a single skill point in the relevant knowledge skills but still have a decent chance to identify monsters. This means you have more skill points to invent in other things. Think of it as a feat that gives you 2.5 skill points per level. By comparison skill focus gives a flat +3 (later a +6) bonus to a single skill.

Grabbing the trait with enforcer is the easiest. If you want to switch weapons and use bludgeoner that could work as well, but will delay feat progression.
Blades of mercy, fate's favored is a good combo but you're less of a face so I would go with blades of mercy and one of the diplomacy traits so you get wis to all diplomacy checks.
Armor expert is not needed for a heavy armor build.
Why the falchion? Character reasons? I like reach weapons for d8 character as if deterrent to enemies approaching. But don't change if it's important to the character.
Just a note - the Greater Hat of Disguise is EDIT 12k for alter self at will. At 11, that's 14% of WBL, and gets smaller as you go on. Completely negating Fort/Will Save: Partial effects never gets old. Admittedly, you do lose some other things if you do not take that archetype.
Traits: The one that lets you do non-lethal damage at no penalty.
1. Skill Focus Intimidate, Enforcer
3. Power Attack
5. Combat Reflexes and use a reach weapon? Furious Focus?
6. Paired Opportunists?
7. Eldritch Heritage? Or does that require Cha?
9. Lunge

That's Blade of Mercy (Religion: Sarenrae).

The trait is nice indeed.
Falchion? Only for the fact i love criticals. I can use bardiche...
Weird weapons / exotic are a bit more problamtic as buying magical gear is rare.
Bastered sword might also be a good one, and a popular one.Reaxch weapon i will have as well - the long spear.
I'm more of a fan of the Scimitar or the Falaca than I am of the Falchion. The main reason is them being a 1 handed weapon. You can use a shield in the first few levels till your heavy armor...or you can just 2 hand the weapon. I tend to use a shield for first 3 levels for the AC, then I throw it by the wayside and just 2 hand my weapons. The benefit of still using a 1 handed weapon is that if you are Grabbed or Grappled you can still swing the weapon and continue to do damage as a means of trying to escape. (Your teammates should also be hitting it to bring it down faster.) With a falchion, you can not swing it and swap weapons take actions and if you have weapon specific feats (Weapon focus, Improved critical) then those feats become dead when you use those punching daggers or whatever else you have on you.
just something to consider. I personally do not mind giving up that on average 1.5 damage from the dice difference to have a more usable weapon under common situations. (Grab is on lots of creatures.)
