Inquisitor (Paladin Kit)

The Inquisitor has dedicated their life to finding and eliminating practitioners of evil magic and defeating the forces of darkness. Their god provides them with special abilities toward that end.

Advantages

  • May cast Dispel Magic once per day per 4 levels (starts at 1st level with one use):
    • Cast at Speed Factor 1 and acts at twice the Inquisitor's character level.
  • May cast True Sight once per day per 4 levels.
  • Immune to hold and charm.

Disadvantages

  • May not Turn Undead.
  • May not use Lay on Hands ability.
  • May not cast priest spells.

When to pick it

  • The double-level Dispel Magic is the single most powerful anti-magic ability in the game — it strips most enemy buffs at any level.
  • True Sight is essential against illusion-heavy enemies (Beholders, Liches, Mages); the Inquisitor never needs to memorise it.
