Inquisitor Class for D&D 5e

Seek out and hunt down your foes with the Inquisitor class!

The Inquisitor is a class designed to represent those dedicated to a cause; be it foiling fiends, stopping spellcasters or annihilating aberrations Inquisitors will stop at nothing to thwart the machinations of their foes. Drawing inspiration from both its pathfinder counter-part and a grim, far-distant future it's a half-caster with its own list of spells capable of both martial prowess and support magic to harry foes and help allies.

Grim and determined, the inquisitor roots out enemies of all kinds, using trickery and guile when righteousness and purity is not enough. Although inquisitors can be dedicated to particular deities as a clandestine part of the formal religious order, some simply follow their own sense of justice and are more than willing to take the most extreme measures to make sure justice, divine or not, is served.

Inquisitors tend to move from place to place, chasing down enemies and researching emerging threats. As a result, they often travel with others, if for no other reason than to mask their presence. Religious inquisitors may work with members of their faith whenever they can, but even such allies are not above suspicion as no one is truly innocent.

An inquisitor's life is a harsh one, short on trust and forever engaging in a game of cat and mouse. How did you enter into such a life? Did your piety for your faith lead you to root out heretics and sinners? Were you assigned such a role in a time of great peril for your order? Or are you simply possessed of an unflinching moral backbone and could no longer stand the corrupt world you see around you?

Some features include:

• Seven diverse subclasses, each of which focuses on a particular method for hunting their foes: Demons, Mages, Monstrous Creatures, and undead!
• A unique "Judgement" class ability with many options for maximum utility!
• Rules for hiring (and paying) your own retinue of followers to help your investigations!
• A bonus subclass with extra rules for playing Inquisitors who stray too far into forbidden lore!
• And much more!
