Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shin Okada" data-source="post: 4941385" data-attributes="member: 1956">Shadowbane Inquisitor is not really a Rogue/Cleric prestige class. The prestige class does not improve your spell-casting ability at all. This prestige class makes a kind of holy assassin, basically a holy warrior (Paladin), with some stealthy abilities and sneak attack dice.Shadowbane Stalker is a real Rogue/Cleric class and works very well. But in my experience, the class is more like a spell caster with sneaking/dungeon delving ability. Due to the needs of multiple ability scores (at least Dex and Wis, then Int for skill points and dealing with traps), Shadowbane Stalker's melee attack bonus tend to be too low. On the other hand, his spell-casting ability is kept at least above descent level. And cleric spells helps the work of rogues much. If the character is a human, the combination of Able Learner feat and Divine Insight spell is great.I played a human Shadobane Stalker for an entire campaign. He was a party's ultimate problem solver. And more than descent spell-caster, too. But he was never be a descent melee rogue. To have enough attack bonus, he had to cast some buff spells such as Divine Favor or Divine Power. Usually, it was a waste of precious first turn of the combat. Casting combat spells such as Flame Strike was often a much better option, as his caster level was boosted up thanks to Practiced Spellcaster feat.He had Magic Domain. So when needed, he used a wand of Sor/Wis touch spell such as Shocking Grasp to make a melee sneak attack.</blockquote>
