Inquisitor (Paladin Kit)

The Inquisitor has dedicated his life to finding and eliminating practitioners of evil magic and defeating the forces of darkness. His god has provided him with special abilities toward that end.

Advantages

  • May use Dispel Magic once per day per 4 levels (1 use at 1st level). The spell is cast at speed factor 1 and acts at twice the Inquisitor's character level — devastatingly effective against buffed mages.
  • May cast True Sight once per day per 4 levels (1 use at 1st level).
  • Immune to hold and charm.

Disadvantages

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

When to pick it

  • The single best anti-mage class in the game — instant Dispel Magic at double level wrecks enemy buff stacks.
  • Loses the Paladin's healing utility, so pair with a dedicated healer.
