Going to be starting my first-ever game of Pathfinder soon (within the next two weeks), and have assembled an archery-focused Half-Orc Inquisitor build, with the Feather domain and a Roc companion. The goal will be to provide support through flying mounted archery and through having my roc pick up enemies and drop them off cliffs. I'm fine as far as feat and spell selection is concerned, but I'm having trouble choosing where to put skill points. So far I have:
Max ranks in Perception
Max ranks in Ride
Max ranks in Stealth
Max ranks in Diplomacy
One rank in Knowledge (arcana), (dungeoneering), (nature), (planes), and (religion), to make best use of Monster Lore + the Half-Orc favored class bonus
Intelligence will be 12, so at 1st level I have seven skill points left, and at each subsequent level I will have three more to spend. Where should these last points go? A few CC ranks in Handle Animal (I'm surprised that the Animal domain gives an animal companion, but doesn't give HA)? Maybe put half-ranks into Sense Motive so that I effectively have it maxed from Stern Gaze? More ranks in the Knowledge skills? Would Spellcraft be worth it, or should I leave that for the party full-caster(s)? I'm totally stumped, help me out here.
