Wraith235 05-19-07, 02:49 PM	have a char that just made 3rd lvl .... pal 1 Rog 1 I am working on Shadowbane inquisitor... so I am trying to decide between these 2 feats at 3rd lvl Weapon focus would have me Locked into paladin to 4th lvl paladin Devoted inquisitor would allow me to multiclass between the 2 up untill the shadowbane point + give me a stun ability whatever I dont get now I'll get at 6th .... so basically between 3 and 6th which one is gonna do me the most good
Reylance 05-19-07, 04:41 PM	Get the Devoted Inquisitor feat. The +1 to hit is not as important as being able to interweave Rogue and Paladin levels.
Wraith235 05-19-07, 05:42 PM	well apparently the PrC of Shadowbane inquisitor allows that as well (I use hero forge and it lists it as a class ability) dont quote me that that is exact as I havent been able to find it in Text my 2 paths are Like this 1 Rog (Power attack) 2 pal 3 pal (Devoted Inquisitor 4 Rog 5 Pal 6 Pal (Weapon Focus 7 Sha OR 1 Rog (Power attack) 2 pal 3 pal (Weapon Focus) 4 pal 5 Pal 6 rog (Devoted inquisitor) 7 Sha so both Feats will come either way and my progress to Shadowbane wont be hindered its just 2 different paths to the same goal
ThaiGQ 05-20-07, 07:03 AM	Is Devoted Inquisitor really necessary for the build? You'll have the ability to multi-class freely between Paladin, Rogue, and Shadowbane Inquisitor anyways once you start taking levels in the PrC.
Wraith235 05-20-07, 10:08 AM	if I go with Route A then yes ... Benifits to Route A = lvl 4 evasion, Reflex +1 Benifits to Route B = lvl 4 Immunity to Fear Divine Health +1 Reflex Will as it stands I have 6 days to decide
ThaiGQ 05-20-07, 11:24 AM	if I go with Route A then yes ... Benifits to Route A = lvl 4 evasion, Reflex +1 Benifits to Route B = lvl 4 Immunity to Fear Divine Health +1 Reflex Will as it stands I have 6 days to decide Personally, I'd go with Route B for the BAB, Saves, and Immunity to Fear. I'd also probably drop the Devoted Inquisitor feat for something else, but that's just me. Of course, that depends on what your region/party needs more of...fighting abilities or skills.
jstorrie 05-20-07, 05:03 PM	Devoted Inquisitor is not that great in the low levels because you don't have all that many smite evils to use it with. It is okay later on, when you can take Extra Smite and get extra Paladin smites and extra Shadowbane smites at the same time. I would go something like: 1 Rogue: Power Attack, Improved Initiative 2 Paladin 3 Paladin: Improved Smiting 4 Paladin 5 Paladin 6 Rogue: Divine Might 7 Rogue 8 SI 9 SI: Extra Smite 10 SI: Improved Sunder 11 SI 12 SI: Combat Brute 13 SI 14 SI 15 SI: Leadership
Wraith235 05-20-07, 05:18 PM	Rogue: Power Attack 2 Paladin 3 Paladin: Improved Smiting 4 Paladin 5 Paladin 6 Rogue: Divine Might 7 Rogue 8 SI 9 SI: Extra Smite 10 SI: Improved Sunder 11 SI 12 SI: Combat Brute 13 SI 14 SI 15 SI: Leadership this char is a half elf so the 2nd 1st lvl feat isnt an option I believe Improved Sunder is a Bonus Feat someplace in the Shadowbane inquisitor progression and I'm looking at having my 1st level in this class at 7th (4/2/1) but outside of that I'll need to look into those feats
jstorrie 05-20-07, 07:27 PM	If he's a half-elf meleer with high Charisma, you really ought to consider Outcast Champion.
Shieldhart91 05-21-07, 01:05 AM	Because Half-Elves really are outcasts ;-) Take another level Rogue. Take your feat that allows you to multi-class freely, and then take another level in Paladin. Get Charisma enhancing items to beef up your saving throws, and that way the Rogue Evasion/Super-Paladin Reflex save goes up and up. Vest of Resistance +1, at least of Charisma of +3, and with your Rogue bonuses...you won't have a bad Reflex saving throw at all. It'd be nice to get some Pious Templar with Mettle in here somewhere, but it can't always be perfect- can it?
