Hey, I'm playing an inquisitor with -8 Cha, but the conversion Inquisition so he can use Wis for social skills.
Is there a trait or feat that will make him a better leader in the Rebellion besides the Natural Born Leader campaign trait?
Open to any advice!
Is your campaign using the rebellion mechanic or is the GM handling that behind the screen?
Ask your Game Moderator if you can use your Wisdom for rebellion things instead of Charisma.
It would make sense and I would assume more GMs would be okay with that.
The Sentinel and Partisan roles use Wisdom as one of their stats.

Do you mean are we managing the sheet? I believe so.
I think we’re going to have a relatively Charisma light group, but we have a bard and a Cleric, so hopefully they will be able to manage enough teams.
In general, traits that make a social skill a class skill will help for you. The +3 class skill bonus will make up for the lower ability bonus.
Child of Kintargo trait: "You gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (nobility) checks, and Knowledge (nobility) is always a class skill for you. The Noble Scion feat (see the sidebar on page 11) does not have a Charisma prerequisite for you. In addition, you start play with a noble’s outfit, a signet ring, and a single additional nonmagical item worth no more than 200 gp."
It gives you connections and removes a CHA prereq.
Historian of the Rebellion trait: +2 to an organization check of your choice.
The Star Struck trait might be sneaky good. Choose Shensen and for one CHA skill check a day you get to roll twice and take the best result. This way, you can put ranks into CHA skills; you'll also likely get a skill focus feat, so you can put that into something that synergizes with this trait.
I feel a bit more confident now, my GM said he’s all for creative solutions to character issues.
I’m sure there are guidelines to help him help us get the most out of the rebellion. I’m going Child of Kintargo, so I’m hoping the house is as useful as I suspect, and I’ll present the Wis in place of Cha when it comes to the Rebellion if we’re a slim on support,
Just take the Conversion Inquisition, that lets you use Wis instead of Cha for all social skills.
