Roaming Exorcist Cleric Archetype

[dascarletm]

Okay, so I really love the flavor of this archetype, and I'm going to make it work darn it! So, I've read some cleric handbooks, but I feel like this archetype leads your cleric to be even more MAD. I want to be a melee cleric but without armor I'm forced to invest in dex. Anyway, does anyone have some advice on how to stat your ability scores a roaming exorcist cleric?

Point Buy 25
Goals

Able to use melee effectively
Able to use firearms when not in close range moderately
Able to cast 9th levels eventually
Able to channel positive energy effectively
Able to have a decent array of skills


I can't really dump anything.

I could dump strength and go a finesse route, but that's fairly feat intensive (at least 2).

Spells should help out in combat.

Anyway thanks for the advice.

I'd say go dex. For gun use trade your one domain with the Black Powder Inquisition (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/inquisitor/inquisitions/inquistions---paizo/black-powder-inquisition) for those feats for free. Spend a feat on Weapon Finesse, and you should be set until you pick up an agile weapon.
