Pursuers of Shadows
In the shadows that linger beyond the reach of daylight and amidst the whispers of unseen malevolence, Inquisitors emerge as vigilant seekers and relentless hunters. Their existence is woven into the fabric of a world where the boundary between light and darkness blurs, and malevolent forces threaten to plunge realms into the abyss.
Unveiling Deception
Inquisitors navigate the clandestine realms where the truth is often obscured by deception and the veils of the unknown. Clad in garb that melds seamlessly with the shadows, they wield the twin weapons of scrutiny and determination. With eyes trained to pierce the murkiness of half-truths and hidden motives, Inquisitors unravel mysteries that elude the uninitiated.
Harbingers of Justice
Forged in the crucible of duty and justice, Inquisitors serve as harbingers against the encroaching darkness. Whether pursuing renegade sorcerers, unearthing secret cults, or tracking elusive fiends, their resolve is unyielding. Cloaked in the mantle of their sacred duty, they venture where others fear to tread, bringing justice to the forgotten corners where shadows thrive.
Empowered by Conviction
Inquisitors derive their strength from an unwavering conviction to uphold the tenets of justice. This devotion transcends the boundaries of law and aligns with a higher calling. Their abilities are not merely tools; they are manifestations of an inner fire that burns against the darkness. With enchanted blades and spells that pierce illusions, Inquisitors are a force to be reckoned with in the ongoing struggle against the occult.
An Oath Against Obscurity
Inquisitors stand as sentinels against the encroaching obscurity that seeks to engulf the realms. With an oath that binds them to the pursuit of truth, they emerge as the unsung heroes of a world teetering on the precipice of the unknown. In their relentless quest, Inquisitors bring to light the obscured secrets, ensuring that shadows, once looming, yield to the illumination of truth.

Only one judgement can be active at once, if you pronounce judgement whilst another judgement is still active, the judgement that was pronounced first ends. You can choose to enter an active judgement early at any point on your turn.
The number of times you can pronounce judgment each day is shown in the Judgments Decrees column of the inquisitor table. You regain all expended uses of your judgment when you complete a short or long rest.
Some of your judgements require your target to make a saving throw to resist the judgement’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Judgement save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

While inanimate objects are rarely evil in of themselves, powerful enchantments can wreak much havoc in the hands of the impure. Arcane inquisitors hunt down magical items, for destruction if they are dark, or for the use of their church if otherwise. Furthermore, they supplement their divine connection with arcane ability, and are not above making use of forbidden magics if the situation requires it. |
