Inquisitor
|
Pathfinder First Edition content |
- This article covers the inquisitor character class of the First Edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. For the Second Edition class archetype sometimes known as inquisitor, see vindicator. For the Asmodean church organization, see Inquisitors (Chelaxian organization).
Grim and determined, the inquisitor roots out enemies of the faith, using trickery and guile where righteousness and purity is not enough. Although inquisitors are dedicated to a deity, they are above many of the normal rules and conventions of the church. They answer to their deity and their own sense of justice alone, and are willing to take extreme measures to meet their goals.1
Regions
With disillusionment and low morale a frequent problem in the fight against the demons of the Worldwound, inquisitors of the goddess Iomedae were frequently active in the nations bordering the planar breach, particularly in Mendev. Likewise, in areas where Sarenrae's worshipers are persecuted, such as Taldor and northern Garund, inquisitors of her faith are more frequent. In nations with strong theocracies or divine influences, such as Cheliax, Mediogalti Island, or Nidal, inquisitors often serve as both enforcers and investigators. In Razmiran, where false clerics preach the word of Razmir, false inquisitors are also active.2
