Roguish Archetype: Inquisitor

Grim and determined, the inquisitor roots out enemies of the faith and faithful ─ both mundane and supernatural, using trickery and guile when 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.

Inquisitors tend to move from place to place, chasing down enemies and researching emerging threats. As a result, they often travel with others, if for no other reason than to mask their presence. Inquisitors work with members of their faith whenever possible, but even such allies are not above suspicion.

An inquisitor is often seen as a divine assassin, an exorcist, and a heretic hunter, but they can be so much more.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with heavy crossbows, whips, and Religion.

Channel Divinity: Judgment

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the following Channel Divinity option.

When you use your Channel Divinity, you must finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.

Judgment. As a bonus action, you present your holy symbol and pronounce judgment upon your foes. One target of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you becomes the target of your Judgment, and is branded with a faintly glowing sign reminiscent to your deity's holy symbol. For 1 minute, against the target of your Judgment, you don't need advantage on your attack roll or an enemy of the target within 5 feet of it to use your Sneak Attack. The extra damage from your Sneak Attack against the target of your Judgment is radiant damage. All the other rules for the Sneak Attack class feature still apply to you.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the cleric spell list.

• Cantrips. You learn Vicious Mockery as a cleric cantrip, and two cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. You learn another cleric cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
• Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level cleric spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the abjuration and divination spells on the cleric spell list. The Spells column of the Inquisitor Spellcasting table shows when you learn more cleric spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an abjuration or divination spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the cleric spells you know with another spell of your choice from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an abjuration or divination spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.
• Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you learn your spells through conviction and prayer. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

Ritual Casting

You can cast a cleric spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a holy symbol (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.

Occult Lore

When you reach 9th level, your knowledge of the occult gives you an edge in revealing threats to your faith and society. You have advantage on Insight and Investigation checks to reveal the deception and disguises of fey, fiends, shapechangers, and undead, as well as heretics (subject to DM discretion).

Greater Judgment

When you reach 13th level, your Judgment grows stronger and you ignore any damage resistances the target of your judgment might have, and treat any of its damage immunities as damage resistances instead. This ability does not overlap with itself. Also, you can now use your Judgment even if you don't have a line of sight to your target, as long as you know the target's location.

In addition, if your target is invisible or shapechanged when you use the Judgment, it must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a failure either effect is suppressed until the Judgment ends, and the target cannot turn invisible or change shape for the duration.

Final Judgment

Once you reach 17th level, as an Action on your turn, you pray to your deity for a final judgment. This ends the Judgment on your target, but it must succeed on a Charisma Saving Throw against your Spell save DC. On a failed save, the target takes radiant damage equal to double your sneak attack damage. On a successful save the target takes only half damage.

You can use this ability once before you must finish a long rest to be able to use it again.

Variant Judgment

With DM's permission, an Inquisitor can choose to emulate one domain of his or her deity.

While your Judgment is upon your target, the damage type of your Sneak Attack and Final Judgment depends on your domain, as seen in the table below. When a domain lets you choose the type, you choose it whenever you deal damage via Sneak Attack or Final Judgment.

If the Domain allows a choice of damage type, you choose one, which can't be changed.

Domain	Source	Damage type
Arcana	SCAG	Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder (your choice)
Ambition	PS:A	Psychic
City	UA	Psychic
Death	DMG	Necrotic
Grave	XGtE	Necrotic or Radiant (your choice)
Knowledge	PHB	Psychic
Life	PHB	Radiant
Light	PHB	Fire
Nature	PHB	Cold, Fire, or Lightning (your choice)
Order	GGtR	Psychic
Protection	UA	Radiant
Solidarity	PS:A	Radiant
Strength	PS:A	Radiant
Tempest	PHB	Lightning or Thunder (your choice)
Trickery	PHB	Poison or Psychic (your choice)
War	PHB	Fire, Necrotic, Psychic, or Radiant (your choice)
Zeal	PS:A	Fire, Necrotic, Radiant, or Thunder (your choice)
