Inquisitor Feat Selection

[cecil1994]

Ok, so this is exactly what the title says.

I'm currently playing Kingmaker, and am a lvl 6 Preacher Sanctified Slayer Inquisitor who focuses on archery. So far it's been a pretty sweet deal. Thanks to all the off-time we have (kingmaker) I took Craft Wondorous Item and am pretty well set. But here's the issue-

At level 8(or possibly 9? A slayer talent would be nice) I'm taking one level in Zen Archer monk, grabbing Precise Shot and Perfect Strike, and using my (stacking) BAB to flurry with my bow. This means I'm retraining Rapid Shot and not even touching Manyshot.

So what feats to take? I've already got PBS and Deadly Aim, as well as a crafting feat. But Kingmaker goes till like 17th level, and I'm human. I've got 7 more feats left to pick. And that's not even including using Slayer Talents for more.

What to do?

Shameless bump.

Improved critical is never bad, even though it will only be 19-20, you are shooting a lot of arrows. If you go that route, impact critical shot is fun to knock targets down. Improved initiative is always good, dodge is never bad. Leadership is broken if allowed.

Snap Shot (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/snap-shot-combat) shores up one of the major weaknesses of Archery. That weapon focus prerequisite is bad though.

Thanks! I think I'll have to pass on these for a couple reasons-

Improved Crit- I've already got Bracers of Falcon's Aim, and they don't stack.

Improved Init- we actually don't use initiative cause there are 6 of us. Which is a shame, as my bonus is +10.

Leadership- simply banned.

Dodge- I'm actually gonna get this one most likely. But I was hoping for better alternatives.

As I'll be using Flurry of Bows *snickers* I'll be retraining Rapid Shot. Which is a prerequisite.

...But Dodge is a worthless feat tax.

Retraining (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics-ability-scores/more-character-options/retraining) Feats:
"The old feat can't be one you used as a prerequisite for a feat,..."

Unless there is a way to get Snap Shot as a req-less bonus feat, you are stuck with Weapon Focus and Rapid Shot.

Truth be told, I'm gonna be turning into a Jiang-Shi. It's a weird vampire subrace that gets Dodge as a bonus feat. I'd never take it otherwise.

I desired immortality. Vampire itself was too strong, but this got accepted. I'm working my ass off for it though, it's not free stuff.

Yeah, that was why I was saying I couldn't take it because I'm retraining.

Sorry if I didn't get that across.

Shameless bump #2.

No regrets here.

I have an Human Inquisitor/Zen Archer in the group who also didn't know what to with his feats and after a while he settled for Human Racial Feats (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats#TOC-Human). It also fitted in character for him, being a cliché paragon of humankind.

My favorite is Defiant Luck (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/defiant-luck-human) because it allows you to reroll a save if you roll a 1. Once per day though. But it's a easy way to get a chance in what otherwise would be certain failure. (Extra use with Bestow Luck (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/bestow-luck), not sure if it's worth 2 more feats though.)

He also going for Improvisation (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/improvisation-human) + Improved Improvisation (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/improved-improvisation-human) (can use all skills untrained and +4 bonus on all skills without a rank) because the group lacks a skill money and he had something else that allows his wisdom on (certain) skills (which I cannot find back atm). Combined with Inexplicable Luck (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/racial-feats/inexplicable-luck-human), +8 on a skill check and can he do any skill greatly once per day without any ranks. :smalltongue:
Not sure if it's worth the feats normally, but you got them spare, why not?

A final remorseless bump.
