Divine Classes: Inquisitor

Inquisitor

          “It’d be laughable if you said you weren’t expecting me.”

            Inquisitors are divine agents employed when holy doctrine and righteous vindication aren’t enough to win the day. Inquisitors root out enemies of the faith with steel and fire and hate. They are unrelenting in their pursuit of the unfaithful, and many are fanatically driven to obsession with their chosen quarry. Although they venerate a deity, or more often a group of deities, they are not subscribed to their teachings, often adhering to their own sense of macabre justice.
