[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 5862818, member: 359"] You don't have much that boosts attack bonuses. Keep in mind that an inquisitor is going to lose attack bonus compared to a fighter - you're average BAB instead of good, so that's 2 points of attack you're down on the fighter right off the bat. You have a high Strength, though not too huge - do you have a Strength item yet? I'd expect most PCs to have an item that increases their most important stat by 7th level. If you want to be the party's damage person, that's Strength. 22 is a good break point for a two-handed weapon user, too, since a +6 bonus becomes a +9 bonus to damage with a two-handed weapon, instead of +5/+7 for a 20 Strength. Using Power Attack boosts damage, but if you're not hitting consistently it's not worth it. Start without it, see if you're hitting regularly in combat, then start using it. Remember that Bane gives +2 to attack as well as the damage bonus, since it increases your weapon's enhancement bonus against the target creature type. It effectively gives you +2 attack and an extra 2d6+2 damage. Something to remember. What spells are you using regularly? Divine Favor helps with attack bonus, but it's a bit of a pain to cast it every combat. Wrath stacks with Divine Favor. You have 3rd level spells, which opens up Heroism - a decent buff, though it doesn't stack with Wrath, but it has a much longer duration. Spending a feat for proficiency with the scythe is pretty expensive. I would have considered playing a character who got that proficiency from his deity, or used a different weapon entirely, one you didn't have to take Martial Weapon Prof for. Heck, a follower of Pharasma who uses the favored weapon of Uragotha (god of the undead and mortal enemy of Pharasma) probably gets a long of strange looks from his co-workers. I probably would have taken Weapon Focus instead of Dodge, unless you're heading for something that requires Dodge. Cleave and Great Cleave are only so-so feats now, so I probably would have gone for Step Up instead if you're fighting spellcasters - that means they can't just 5' step away from you and blast you.
