Choose your Discipline
The Flagellant
Fights without armor and turns every wound into power. The lower your hit points, the harder you hit.
The Monster Hunter
Sees marked prey even when it is invisible, and coats weapons in balms made for one type of creature.
The Judge
Turns Sacred Flame into a sentence and unlocks three exclusive condemnations.
Herald of Sacred Flame
Sets the weapon on holy fire, burns every enemy that comes close, and at 15th level grows wings of flame.
The Mindbreaker
Summons a blade of cracked violet glass and breaks the mind before the body.
The Spellbane
Disrupts spells as they are cast, and once per turn tears active magic off the target it hits.
Mark. Judge. Condemn.
At 1st level you brand a creature with the Mark of the Creed, a strike that reaches 30 feet. From 2nd level, every hit can become a condemnation: burn the target so it cannot heal, break its armor, or open it to your allies' next attack. At 10th level you swear an Irrevocable Oath against one enemy: advantage on every attack and resistance to its damage, until one of you falls. At 20th level, the Wrath of God strikes everything within 60 feet.
The Crimson Creed
"Evil unredeemed is a wound that feeds on forgiveness." — Valthor, the Incarnate Judge
Inquisitors are forged in the Crimson Conclave, a monastery no map shows. They are branded with the symbol of the Creed, an inverted sword through a black sun, and sent out as judges and hunters of evil. Five optional tables give your Inquisitor a past: a distinctive mark, the event that led you to the Creed, a ritual, a doubt, and a virtue.
