Perception & Persuation mule

[Sorceress]

Basically
Looking for right class for Perception & Persuation based character
I'm playing general Aasimar (+2 to wis&cha, searing light), so I'll already got +2 to perception & diplomacy, but want a class with good wis & good cha - is cleric rute to go?

If you want both perception and persuasion, go for an Inquisitor. They have an ability, Stern Gaze, that lets them add half their class level to perception and persuasion (intimidation) checks.

If you want to cover the diplomacy and bluff aspects of persuasion as well, it's a bit tougher. I'd suggest you split the skills over two characters, since no character really needs both a high wisdom and charisma modifier.

+1 with wendigo211.

As for the aasimar type, you might want to consider lawbringer: you'll be trading +2 CHA for +2 CON, but the +2 bonus to Persuasion checks will apply to all checks rather than just the diplomacy ones. Also, fits well with Inquisitor and Hold Person is a bit more useful than Searing Light imo.

As for Cleric, be mindful that they only get 2 skill points per level (3 for Ecclesitheurge), possibly less if you dump INT.

Oh, just realized this threat is one week old. Meh.
