Inquisitor v1.3

Your devotion to your deity has provided you with a great many gifts, through your acts of faith you are given powers others could only dream of, capable of producing miracles, laying down blessings of you deity, and more, however, your powers are tied to your devotion to your deity, for to forsake your faith is to forsake your power. So long as you are in good standing with your deity, you may continue to take levels in this class, but should you ever fall from grace, leveling into this class is locked unless you receive Atonement. Certain deities may not accept atonement, so choose wisely when accepting the gifts of these mysterious beings.   If you have lost favor with your deity, subject to GM discretion, you lose access to the Judgement, Sense Heretic, Spellcasting, Zeal, Bane, Seek Mind, and Stalwart features, along with all features of your Sanctioned Orders subclass. An apostate does not suffer from this feature, except in extreme cases.   You cannot retrain out of this class once attained, without consequences. Leaving this class without approval by your deity is considered breaking of your faith in a negative light. However, good deities generally do not mind the lack of devotion, so long as you maintain the faith, such cases are often approved. Additionally, should you be corrupted and your faith altered, your new deity may becomes your new provider of power, and your devotion transfers to them; however, your old faith may still harbor a grudge against you.

The strength of your faith grants you the ability to pronounce judgement upon your foes as a Bonus Action, once activated, a judgement remains in effect for one minute, at which points its effects immediately end. You can use this feature twice, gaining an additional use at 6th level, 9th level, 12th level, 15th level, and 18th level for a total of 7 uses. You regain all expended uses after completing a Long Rest.
Upon activating this ability you are blessed with divine might powering your fervor and enhancing your soul. Choose one of the judgements listed below, you receive a bonus or special ability based on the judgement made. You can change this judgement to another type as a Bonus Action on your turn by spending a point of Fervor.
Any additional damage a judgement provides is Radiant for a good aligned inquisitor, or Necrotic for an evil aligned inquisitor, while a neutral aligned inquisitor chooses whether the damage is Radiant or Necrotic when they first take levels in this class, once this choice is made it cannot be changed.

• Destruction: The inquisitor is filled with divine wrath; you deal an additional 1d6 points of damage on all weapon damage rolls.
• Healing: The inquisitor is surrounded by a divine light, healing the inquisitor for 1d12 + Charisma modifier points of damage the first time this is chosen with this activation of judgement. On subsequent turns this heals the inquisitor for a number of hit points equal to 1d4 + Charisma modifier at the start of their turn for as long as they are conscious, and the judgement lasts.
• Justice: The inquisitor is fueled with an intense desire to seek justice, every attack roll that the Inquisitor makes during this time receives a +1d4 Insight bonus to attack.
• Piercing: The inquisitor focuses on their foe's spellcasting, so that they can better pierce its hold on this world. Whenever an inquisitor would make an ability check to dispel magic, or otherwise pierce through magic, they gain a +1d4 Insight bonus on that roll.
• Protection: The inquisitor is surrounded by a protective aura, granting them a +1d4 Insight bonus to their AC for as long as the judgement remains active. This bonus is re-rolled every round at the start of an inquisitor's turn.
• Purity: The inquisitor is protected by the vile beliefs of their foes, granting them an Insight bonus equal to their Charisma modifier on all saving throws for as long as this judgement remains active.
• Pursuit: The inquisitor is instilled with righteous determinatioin, granting them an Insight bonus equal to 10 x their Proficiency bonus in movement speed to their base Walking speed, and half this number to all other forms of movement for as long as this judgement remains active.
• Resiliency: This judgement protects the inquisitor from harm, granting them resistance against one damage type of their choice chosen when this judgement is first activated. It can be changed to another damage type at the start of the inquisitor's turn.
• Smiting: This judgement bathes the inquisitor's weapon in divine light that burns away the defenses of their foes. The inquisitor's attacks cause a foe struck by them to make a Charisma saving throw DC equal to the inquisitor's spellcasting DC, failure indicates that creature loses one resistance of the inquisitor's choice.

The presence of heretical views registers on your senses like a noxious odor. As long as you are conscious and not Incapacitated, you can as a Bonus Action detect heretics to your faith that are within 60 feet of you that you can see. A heretic is considered one of the following:

• Any creature or object with a negative Influence score towards your faith.
• An outsider or non-humanoid creature relevant to your faith with an alignment that opposes your faith (ie Demons would oppose a Lawful and/or Good deity, while undead would be considered Heretics towards Napalis).
• Any humanoid creature that has had a forced alignment change that opposes your faith that does not also have a positive Influence score towards your faith.
• Any creature, object, or entity whose being has been decreed heretical by the church with which you follow (must be decreed by 2nd highest rank in church or higher.)

For the next minute, you know the direction of these heretical figures as long as they are within 60 feet of you.
You can activate the focused sense heretic feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. When you finish a Long Rest, you regain all expended uses.

At 1st level, your zealotry emboldens you to act with righteous zeal. You gain a single Zeal feature listed below. You gain an additional Zeal feature at 3rd level, and again every 2 Inquisitor levels thereafter. Most zeals require you to expend Stamina to function.

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

• Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
• Blind Fighting: You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn’t behind total cover, even if you’re blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.
• Defense: While you are wearing light, medium, or heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

By 2nd level, you have learned to grasp at the divine energies through your zeal you gain the ability to cast spells as a cleric does. See Spell Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the Inquisitor spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Inquisitor table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your inquisitor spells. To cast one of your inquisitor spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of inquisitor spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the inquisitor spell list. When you do so, choose a number of inquisitor spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half of your inquisitor level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level inquisitor, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell does not remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of inquisitor spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your inquisitor spells since their power is fueled from the strength of your zeal. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an inquisitor spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

• Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
• Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a holy symbol (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your inquisitor spells.

Through your training as an inquisitor, you have begun to unearth the hidden tactics and knowledge of your order, aiding you in your ability to rout out heresy.
At 2nd level, you gain two tactics of your choice. Your tactic options are detailed below. When you gain certain inquisitor levels, you gain additional tactics of your choice, as shown in the Tactics Known column of the Inquisitor table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the tactics you know and replace it with another tactic that you could learn at that level.
If a tactic has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it. You can learn the tactic at the same time that you meet its prerequisites. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

At 3rd level, you have instilled within yourself a sense of awareness and understanding of your surroundings, you gain a Circumstance bonus to your Initiative checks equal to your Charisma modifier, Additionally, while tracking other creatures you learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

When you reach 3rd level, you enter into an order that binds you into service to your faith. Until now you have been in a preparatory stage, committed to your faith, but not yet cleansed of your sins. Now you choose one Order detailed at the end of the class description, once chosen this choice cannot be changed.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level. Those features include order spells and specialized tactic options.

Order Spells

Each order has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the order description. Once you gain access to an order spell, you always have it prepared. Order spells do not count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.
If you gain an order spell that does not appear on the inquisitor spell list, the spell is nonetheless an inquisitor spell for you.

Order Tactician

Your order allows you to perform maneuvers and feats of faith that would be otherwise locked. Each Tactics option provided by your order explains the specific rules regarding that tactic, but otherwise follows the rules laid out by the Tactics feature.

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Beginning at 4th level, you are further able to resist the corrupting influences of outside forces. Whenever you would be forced to make a check or save that would break your loyalty or reveal your identity, such as through Charms, Compulsions, Deception checks that would break your cover, and so on, you can expend a point of Fervor to gain a +1d6 Insight bonus on that check or save.

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Starting at 5th level, your devotion to the inquisitorial ways has strengthened within you your bonds of judgement. Whenever you would complete a Long Rest, choose a single Judgement ability from the list below, you benefit from that ability until you are knocked Unconscious, Incapacitated, Dying, slain, or otherwise complete another Long Rest.

• Destruction: Your attacks are blessed by your destructive judgement. All attack rolls that you make deal an additional amount of damage equal to your Proficiency bonus.
• Healing: Your body is blessed by your healing judgement. You may expend a point of Fervor or Stamina to heal for 1d12 + your Charisma modiifer points of damage. Additionally, whenever you would complete a Short Rest, you heal for an additional 1d12 points of damage.
• Justice: Your fighting spirit is blessed by your justice judgement. All attack rolls that you make gain a +1 Fate bonus to the attack roll.
• Protection: Your reflexes are blessed by your protection judgement. You gain a +1 Fate bonus to your Armor Class.
• Purity: Your soul is blessed by your purity judgement. You gain a +1 Fate bonus to all Saves that you would make.
• Pursuit: Your speed and agility is blessed by your pursuit judgement. You gain a +10 foot Fate bonus to all natural forms of movement that you possess.
• Resiliency: Your form is blessed by your resiliency judgement. You gain DR 3 against one damage type of your choice. Physical damage (Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing) count as one damage type in this instance.
• Smiting: Your might is blessed by your smiting judgement. All damaging attacks that you make increase their Penetration score by 3.

Starting at 6th level, at the start of your turn you can spend a point of Fervor to bless your attacks with righteous power. Every martial attack that you make until the end of your turn deals an additional 1d8 True damage, this is increased to 2d8 if the attack is made against a Heretic. True damage cannot be reduced or mitigated in any way.

At 6th level, an inquisitor has gained a sixth sense to detect falsehoods. As an Action, you can spend a point of Fervor to focus your senses on a creature within 30 feet of you for one minute. If that creature deliberately and knowingly speaks a lie, it must make a Charisma saving throw, with a DC equal to your spellcasting DC, failure indicates that you feel a disturbance in the air surrounding that creature as you sense the foul words coming from it are deceptions. When a creature fails this Save, for the remainder of the abilities duration any additional deceptions are automatically detected.

At 10th level, you are infused with the strength of your faith, whenever you pronounce judgement as a Bonus Action, you select two judgement options instead of one, and these judgements are improved, as shown below. Whenever you would use a bonus action to change judgements, only one of your two judgements are changed.

• Destruction: The inquisitor's destruction judgement deals an additional 1d6 points of damage.
• Healing: The inquisitor's healing judgement heals them for an additional 1d12 on first activation, and by an additional 1d4 at the start of their turn while it is active.
• Justice: The inquisitor's justice judgement enhances their attacks by 1d6 instead of 1d4.
• Piercing: The inquisitor's piercing judgement is enhanced to apply a d6 to the indicated rolls instead of a d4.
• Protection: The inquisitor's protection judgement is enhanced to a d6 instead of a d4.
• Purity: The inquisitor's purity judgement is enhanced as the purity of their beliefs fills their allies with hope. When an ally within 30 feet of the inquisitor would fail a saving throw, you can expend your Reaction to enhance their save by your Charisma modifier, potentially turning a failure into a success.
• Pursuit: The inquisitor's pursuit judgement is enhanced with righteous determination, granting each ally that starts their turn within 30 feet of you while this judgement with a +10 foot Insight bonus to each form of movement that they possess.
• Resiliency: The inquisitor's resiliency judgement enhances to protect the inquisitor against two damage types instead of one, they can be changed at the start of the inquisitor's turn.
• Smiting: The inquisitor's smiting judgement improves causing a foe struck that fails their Charisma saving throw to lose Resistance against the indicated damage type, and gain Vulnerability instead. An inquisitor can instead choose to target an Immunity and turn it into Resistance.

At 11th level, the inquisitor's fervent belief in their order has empowered them to seek out the answers they need through the minds of those around them. As an Action the inquisitor can sift through the surface thoughts of those around them. They can scan for either the answer to a simple question--such as "Where is the hidden lair of the Cult of the Fading Sun."--or for information on a general topic--such as the beliefs of the Cult of the Fading Sun."
You detect the number of creatures who are thinking about the question or topic within 60 feet of you, as well as their location if they are visible to you for one minute. While it does not provide you with the surface thoughts of those around you, only if a given creature is thinking about the topic you are concentrating on.
A creature can make a Wisdom saving throw DC equal to your Inquisitor Spel Save DC to prevent you from sensing their thoughts for the duration of this ability.
Creatures that fail this saving throw are unable to benefit from the effects of Invisility, Blur, Mirror Image, and similar spells for the duration.
When using this ability you do not give any indication that it is being used, nor does a creature that fails or saves against it realize that their mind was being probed, allowing you to ask leading questions about topics of interest.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus.

At 14th level, the inquisitor has been blessed with an eye for weakness, allowing them to jump at the opportunity when it presents itself. Whenever an inquisitor scores a critical hit, they ignore any Resistances the target possesses and treats Immunities as Resistances. Additionally, the target cannot regain Hit Points until the start of your next turn.

At 17th level, the inquisitor has prepared both mentally and physically to resist the lures of the false idols, helping them avoid certain attacks. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Constitution or Wisdom saving throw to take a reduced effect on success, you instead suffer no effect if you succeed on the saving throw. An inquisitor that is unconscious or otherwise incapacitated does not benefit from this ability.
