Message: <blockquote data-quote="StreamOfTheSky" data-source="post: 5623177" data-attributes="member: 35909">Inquisitors can't do ranged, as you've seen.  The lack of feats and BAB, no access to Point Blank Master, and drastically delayed access to numerous feats (due to BAB) make it just...painful.I would do Half-Orc or Tengu (or Half-Elf; an APG variant trades Skill Focus for free proficiecny with ANY one weapon!) as dingo mentioned above, though not necessarily his builds.  For one, you can't use or even select Power Attack at level one (again, due to your BAB; medium BAB is a pain in the ass, isn't it?), so that's out.  Two, I have no idea how his half-orc is using a greatsword, Half-Orcs get Great Axe and Falchion (of the two, I'd aim for Falchion, it's awesome).  Half-Orc can swap those proficiencies for Heavy Flail and Spiked Chain per APG racial options, also.  Finally...do NOT do two-weapon fighting!  You do not have the feats for it!Here's what I would do with an Inquisitor starting out:Half-OrcFalchion (start w/ Greataxe if you can't afford)Feat: Enforcer (APG; free demoralize on every non-lethal attack)Traits: Blade of Mercy (do non-lethal w/o penalty w/ any slashing weapon and do +1 damage); any trait to give a new class skill or increase Intimidate (Half-Orc gets a racial trait for +2 Intimidate)You would pick up Power Attack at level 3, and then whatever you like.  If traits aren't allowed, instead of Enforcer, you can get Cornugon Smash feat at level 7 if that book's allowed.  Free demoralize on every power attack.  You can either go for Weapon Focus + Dazzling Display or Furious Focus + Dreadful Carnage.  I prefer the latter, but it requires BAB +11 and...medium BAB strikes again.Teamwork feats to get would be Lookout, Precise Strike, and Outflank.Domain would be any of the ones I listed above, depending on what you want.Since you can't even get Power Attack till level 3, the character would be very "transitional."  You may very well want to start out sword and board, switch to falchion when you get power attack, etc...  And even though you're not ranged focus, no reason not to carry a bow when you can afford it and contribute from range.If all this seems like too much work, there's one dirty little secret to making Inquisitors work better, too:[sblock]Start at level 1 in a full BAB class then go into Inquisitor! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
