s the paladin is a champion of goodness, the inquisitor is a champion of evil, a holy knight serving the dark gods. As such he is a master of both skill at arms and clerical power, though his spiritual energies are more bent toward destruction than his opposite number's are. Grim, obsessed, and quick to judge, the inquisitor views virtues such as mercy and generosity as insipid and contemptible; yet he has high ideals, heinous as they might be, and must adhere to a strict moral code. Failure to adhere to these standards brings about dire consequences.

As a knight trained in the basics of swordplay, the inquisitor is best suited to wielding swords.

Inquisitors adhere rigidly to the cause of evil. Should one stray from the path of wickedness, his divine powers will be stripped from him, and he will need to mend his ways and atone before they return.
