This leads us to believe he is a lone wolf that uses any person to his advantage whether they themselves know how to gain those bonuses as well. He's using them for his own needs. That's not a "team" player if you ask me.<br /><br />Secondly a bow using inquisitor with Gang Up, Outflank, Enfilading Fire, and Target of Opportunity is going to be dealing out lots of damage and extra attacks and all of which don't require you to be in combat or next to a combatant to gain the advantage. A couple do require Gang Up however.

I have been reading previous entries to get a feel for Pathfinder.<br />I played D&D and AD&D back in the early 80's and really enjoyed it. My son and his wife has moved closer to us here in the mountains and we will be having our 1st game this coming week. My wife has never played a D&D game but we do play MMORPG (WoW, Rift) and hoping she enjoys it. I have decided on a 1/2 Orc Barbarian, she is still looking over the books to try and see what she likes. <br />Suggested for her to try a fighter as they are a bit easier to play than a caster from what I have read in Pathfinder.<br />Any suggestions on a good class for 1st time player?Tyegamichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425333348058907981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-42653269594874258612011-11-14T19:12:14.251-07:002011-11-14T19:12:14.251-07:00Thank you for the great info.

There are two good ones, Outflank and Precise Strike and both are oriented toward melee. The rest suck and I hate having a class feature that is basically wasted.<br /><br />The barbarian also has the Clear Mind rage power which allows him to reroll a Will save once per rage. Furthermore, the Will save bonus increases with level. It's still not awesome, but it gives him a chance.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-15958404891196495822011-05-25T12:49:07.699-06:002011-05-25T12:49:07.699-06:00The teamwork feats are there for the melee Inquisi...The teamwork feats are there for the melee Inquisitor, which does work but is much harder to pull effectively. The ranged Inquisitor pretty much ignores that class feature. Did I say anything about a team player? The Inq gets a few buffs and cures but that's about it for the team player part.<br /><br />Yes the fighter is likely to have a crappy will save but the barbarian's is not going to be much better although I guess +2 can make a lot of difference.Obirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423387256920495798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16553938.post-25222464637572797182011-05-25T12:42:46.933-06:002011-05-25T12:42:46.933-06:00A couple of comments:

You never know when the enemy wizard is going to turn your party fighter on you.<br /><br />The inquisitor is hobbled by all the teamwork feats. First of all, they suck. Secondly, they require you to stand next to somebody to use them, making you both sitting ducks for area spells. Thirdly, they make no damn sense. What is it about an inquisitor that makes him the ultimate team player? They seem more like lone wolf types to me.Rognarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325723561313536356noreply@blogger.com
