Inquisitor
Contents
Grim and determined, the inquisitor roots out enemies of the faith, 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.
Role: 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.
Alignment: An inquisitor’s alignment must be within one step of her deity’s, along either the law/chaos axis or the good/evil axis.
Hit Dice: d8.
Starting Wealth: 4d6 × 10 gp (average gp.) In addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less.
Class Skills
The inquisitor’s class skills are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Knowledge (planes) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).
Skill Ranks per Level: 6 + Int modifier.

Class Features
The following are class features of the inquisitor.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
An inquisitor is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, longbow, repeating crossbow, shortbow, and the favored weapon of her deity. She is also proficient with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
Spells
An inquisitor casts divine spells drawn from the inquisitor spell list. She can cast any spell she knows at any time without preparing it ahead of time, assuming she has not yet used up her allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
To learn or cast a spell, an inquisitor must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an inquisitor’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the inquisitor’s Wisdom modifier.
An inquisitor can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level each day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Inquisitor. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).
An inquisitor’s selection of spells is extremely limited. An inquisitor begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of the inquisitor’s choice. At each new inquisitor level, she gains one or more new spells as indicated on Table: Inquisitor Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells an inquisitor knows is not affected by her Wisdom score. The numbers on Table: Inquisitor Spells Known are fixed.)
Upon reaching 5th level, and at every third inquisitor level thereafter (8th, 11th, and so on), an inquisitor can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the inquisitor “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least one level lower than the highest-level inquisitor spell she can cast. The inquisitor may swap out only a single spell at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that she gains new spells known for the level.

Domain (or Inquisition)
Like a clerics deity, an inquisitor’s deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, and her values. Although not as tied to the tenets of the deity as a cleric, an inquisitor must still hold such guidelines in high regard, despite that fact she can go against them if it serves the greater good of the faith. An inquisitor can select one domain from among those belonging to her deity. She can select an alignment domain only if her alignment matches that domain. With the GM’s approval, an inquisitor can be devoted to an ideal instead of a deity, selecting one domain to represent her personal inclination and abilities. The restriction on alignment domains still applies.
Each domain grants a number of domain powers, depending on the level of the inquisitor. An inquisitor does not gain the bonus spells listed for each domain, nor does she gain bonus spell slots. The inquisitor uses her level as her effective cleric level when determining the power and effect of her domain powers. If the inquisitor has cleric levels, one of her two domain selections must be the same domain selected as an inquisitor. Levels of cleric and inquisitor stack for the purpose of determining domain powers and abilities, but not for bonus spells.
(Editors Note: A complete listing of domains can be found here: Domains. Inquisitors also have access to Inquisitions, which are similar to Domains but do not include Domain spells. A complete listing of Inquisitions can be found here: Inquisitions.)
Judgment (Su)
Starting at 1st level, an inquisitor can pronounce judgment upon her foes as a swift action. Starting when the judgment is made, the inquisitor receives a bonus or special ability based on the type of judgment made.
At 1st level, an inquisitor can use this ability once per day. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor can use this ability one additional time per day. Once activated, this ability lasts until the combat ends, at which point all of the bonuses immediately end. The inquisitor must participate in the combat to gain these bonuses. If she is frightened, panicked, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise prevented from participating in the combat, the ability does not end, but the bonuses do not resume until she can participate in the combat again.
When the inquisitor uses this ability, she must select one type of judgment to make. As a swift action, she can change this judgment to another type. If the inquisitor is evil, she receives profane bonuses instead of sacred, as appropriate. Neutral inquisitors must select profane or sacred bonuses. Once made, this choice cannot be changed.
Destruction: The inquisitor is filled with divine wrath, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all weapon damage rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Healing: The inquisitor is surrounded by a healing light, gaining fast healing 1. This causes the inquisitor to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as the inquisitor is alive and the judgment lasts. The amount of healing increases by 1 point for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Justice: This judgment spurs the inquisitor to seek justice, granting a +1 sacred bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this bonus is doubled on all attack rolls made to confirm critical hits.
Piercing: This judgment gives the inquisitor great focus and makes her spells more potent. This benefit grants a +1 sacred bonus on concentration checks and caster level checks made to overcome a target’s spell resistance. This bonus increases by +1 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Protection: The inquisitor is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1 sacred bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this bonus is doubled against attack rolls made to confirm critical hits against the inquisitor.
Purity: The inquisitor is protected from the vile taint of her foes, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all saving throws. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled against curses, diseases, and poisons.
Resiliency: This judgment makes the inquisitor resistant to harm, granting DR 1/magic. This DR increases by 1 for every five levels she possesses. At 10th level, this DR changes from magic to an alignment (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) that is opposite the inquisitor’s. If she is neutral, the inquisitor does not receive this increase.
Resistance: The inquisitor is shielded by a flickering aura, gaining 2 points of energy resistance against one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) chosen when the judgment is declared. The protection increases by 2 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.
Smiting: This judgment bathes the inquisitor’s weapons in a divine light. The inquisitor’s weapons count as magic for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction. At 6th level, the inquisitor’s weapons also count as one alignment type (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. The type selected must match one of the inquisitor’s alignments. If the inquisitor is neutral, she does not receive this bonus. At 10th level, the inquisitor’s weapons also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction (but not for reducing hardness).
Monster Lore (Ex)
The inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on Knowledge skill checks in addition to her Intelligence modifier, when making skill checks to identify the abilities and weaknesses of creatures.
Orisons
Inquisitors learn a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Inquisitor Spells Known. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. Orisons prepared using other spell slots, such as those due to metamagic feats, are expended normally.
Stern Gaze (Ex)
Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonus on all Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).
Cunning Initiative (Ex)
At 2nd level, an inquisitor adds her Wisdom modifier on initiative checks, in addition to her Dexterity modifier.
Detect Alignment (Sp)
At 2nd level, at will, an inquisitor can use detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, or detect law. She can only use one of these at any given time.
Track (Ex)
At 2nd level, an inquisitor adds half her level on Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.
Solo Tactics (Ex)
At 3rd level, all of the inquisitor’s allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feats as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether the inquisitor receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus.
Teamwork Feat
At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as teamwork feats. The inquisitor must meet the prerequisites of the selected bonus feat.
As a standard action, the inquisitor can choose to learn a new bonus teamwork feat in place of the most recent bonus teamwork feat she has already learned. In effect, the inquisitor loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. She can only change the most recent teamwork feat gained. Whenever she gains a new teamwork feat, the previous teamwork feat becomes set and cannot be changed again. An inquisitor can change her most recent teamwork feat a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom modifier.
Bane (Su)
FAQ
Does an inquisitors bane ability affect both ends of a double weapon?
No. In general, the game treats double weapons as if they were two different weapons, and an ability, spell, or effect that changes or augments a weapon only applies to one end of a double weapon. Sometimes the rules are redundant and specifically call out that an ability that affects a weapon (such as a paladins divine bond) only affects one end of a double weapon. Sometimes the rules arent redundant (such as the magic weapon spell, or the inquisitors bane ability), but the general rule still applies: the double weapon is treated as two separate weapons.
[Source]
At 5th level, an inquisitor can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action. She must select one creature type when she uses this ability (and a subtype if the creature type selected is humanoid or outsider). Once selected, the type can be changed as a swift action. This ability only functions while the inquisitor wields the weapon. If dropped or taken, the weapon resumes granting this ability if it is returned to the inquisitor before the duration expires. This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the inquisitor’s level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Discern Lies (Sp)
At 5th level, an inquisitor can discern lies, as per the spell, for a number of rounds per day equal to her inquisitor level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is an immediate action.
Second Judgment (Ex)
At 8th level, whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, she selects two different judgments, instead of one. This only consumes one use of her judgment ability. As a swift action, she can change one of these judgments to another type.
Stalwart (Ex)
At 11th level, an inquisitor can use mental and physical resiliency to avoid certain attacks. If she makes a Fortitude or Willsaving throw against an attack that has a reduced effect on a successful save, she instead avoids the effect entirely. This ability can only be used if the inquisitor is wearing light armor, medium armor, or no armor. A helpless inquisitor does not gain the benefit of the stalwart ability.
Greater Bane (Su)
At 12th level, whenever an inquisitor uses her bane ability, the amount of bonus damage dealt by the weapon against creatures of the selected type increases to 4d6.
Exploit Weakness (Ex)
At 14th level, the inquisitor learns to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Whenever the inquisitor scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have. In addition, if the target has regeneration, the creature loses regeneration on the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round. Creatures whose regeneration always functions are immune to this ability. Finally, if the inquisitor deals energy damage to a creature with vulnerability to that energy type, she deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.
Third Judgment (Ex)
At 16th level, whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, she selects three different judgments, instead of just two. This only consumes one use of her judgment ability. As a swift action, the inquisitor can change one of these judgments to another type.
Slayer (Ex)
At 17th level, an inquisitor learns to focus her judgment. Whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, she must select one type of judgment. She is treated as if she were 5 levels higher for the purposes of determining the bonus granted by this judgment. Unlike other types of judgment, the one enhanced by this ability cannot be changed for the remainder of the judgment.
True Judgment (Su)
At 20th level, an inquisitor can call true judgment down upon a foe during combat. Whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, the inquisitor can invoke true judgment on a foe as a swift action. Once declared, the inquisitor can make a single melee (or ranged attack, if the foe is within 30 feet) against the target. If the attack hits, it deals damage normally and the target must make a Fortitude save or die. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the inquisitors level + the inquisitors Wisdom modifier. Regardless of whether or not the save is made, the target creature is immune to the inquisitors true judgment ability for 24 hours. Once this ability has been used, it cannot be used again for 1d4 rounds.
Alternative Capstone Ability
SourcePPC:CoL
When a character reaches the 20th level of a class, she gains a powerful class feature or ability, sometimes referred to as a capstone. When a character reaches 20th level in this class, the following new ability can be selected instead of the standard 20th level class ability which would normally be gained. In some cases, a capstone specifies what ability it replaces. A character can’t select an alternative capstone if she has previously traded away her class capstone via an archetype. Clerics and wizards can receive a capstone at 20th level, despite not having one to begin with.
Team Leader (Ex)
At 20th level, the inquisitor has grown accustomed to teaching farmers to fight, but what she can do with trained warriors is far more terrifying. When the inquisitor regains her spells each day, she can also spend 1 hour training a number of characters up to her Wisdom modifier in battle tactics. These characters receive three of the inquisitor’s teamwork feats (the inquisitor’s choice) as bonus feats for the next 24 hours.
Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells
An inquisitor can’t cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity’s (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaotic, evil, good and lawful descriptors in their spell descriptions.
Ex-Inquisitors
An inquisitor who slips into corruption or changes to a prohibited alignment loses all spells and the judgment ability. She cannot thereafter gain levels as an inquisitor until she atones (see the atonement spell description). An inquisitor who becomes an ex-inquisitor can, with the GMs permission, take the heretic archetype, replacing her class abilities with the appropriate archetype abilities. If the character atones or joins a different faith, she loses her heretic abilities and regains her previous inquisitor class abilities.
Favored Class Bonuses
Instead of receiving an additional skill rank or hit point whenever they gain a level in a favored class, some races have the option of choosing from a number of other bonuses, depending upon their favored classes. The following options are available to the listed race who have inquisitor as their favored class, and unless otherwise stated, the bonus applies each time you select the listed favored class reward.

Archetypes & Alternate Class Features
When a character selects a class, he must choose to use the standard class features found or those listed in one of the archetypes presented here. Each alternate class feature replaces a specific class feature from its parent class. For example, the elemental fist class feature of the monk of the four winds replaces the stunning fist class feature of the monk. When an archetype includes multiple class features, a character must take all of them—often blocking the character from ever gaining certain familiar class features, but replacing them with equally powerful options. All of the other class features found in the core class and not mentioned among the alternate class features remain unchanged and are acquired normally when the character reaches the appropriate level (unless noted otherwise). A character who takes an alternate class feature does not count as having the class feature that was replaced when meeting any requirements or prerequisites.
A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the core class as another alternate class feature. For example, a paladin could not be both a hospitaler and an undead scourge since they both modify the smite evil class feature and both replace the aura of justice class feature. A paladin could, however, be both an undead scourge and a warrior of the holy light, since none of their new class features replace the same core class feature.
Archetypes are a quick and easy way to specialize characters of a given class, adding fun and flavorful new abilities to already established adventurers. Characters may take more than one archetype if they meet the requirements.
Pathfinder – The Inquisitor Handbook
Last Updated: June 21,
Introduction
The Inquisitor is, in many ways, the Divine equivalent of the Bard. Inquisitors get 6+ skills with a wide skill list, 6th level spells, medium BAB, and can fill nearly any role in a party.
Because teamwork feats generally only work in melee, Inquisitors are typically melee characters.
Disclaimer
I support a limited subset of Pathfinder’s rules content. If you would like help with Pathfinder player options
not covered here, please email me and I am happy to provide additional assistance.
RPGBOT uses the color coding scheme which has become common among Pathfinder build handbooks. Also note that many colored items are also links to the Paizo SRD.
- Red: Bad, useless options, or options which are extremely situational. Nearly never useful.
- Orange: OK options, or useful options that only apply in rare circumstances. Useful sometimes.
- Green: Good options. Useful often.
- Blue: Fantastic options, often essential to the function of your character. Useful very frequently.
Inquisitor Class Features
Hit Points: d8 hit points isn’t much for a character on the front line, but it’s enough to take a few hits. Fortunately you get medium armor and shields, and you have good saves.
Base Attack Bonus: At medium BAB, the Inquisitor can hold their own with a weapon, but don’t expect to fight it out with a fighter and win.
Saves: With good Fortitude and Will saves, and with reasonable dexterity, the Inquisitor’s saves are good across the board.
Proficiencies: Simple weapons, shields, and medium armor would be enough to get the job done, but the Inquisitor gets a few other options as well. Most notably, the Inquisitor gets proficiency with the repeating crossbow. I would never recommend using one, but it’s ammusing to know that the Inquisitor doesn’t need a feat to do so.
Skills: 6+ skill points will let you do a lot of things. The Inquistitor’s skill list include all of the face skills, all of the most important knowledge skills, Perception, and Stealth. You can do almost everyting but pick locks.
Spells: The inquisitor learns and casts spells like a Bard: they have a limited list of spells known, and can cast them spontaneously.
Domain: The domain abilities are only half of what makes a domain good, and without the spell list the value of a domain changes greatly. You can also take an Inquisition in place of a domain. See my Cleric Domain Breakdown for help choosing a domain.
Judgment (Su): A few times per day the Inquisitor can choose an ongoing buff which lasts for an entire combat. Many of the buffs are great, and provide bonuses which you usually need to plan well in advance.
- Destruction: There are much better ways to get damage bonuses this size.
- Healing: This is the only inquisition that you would really want to last beyond the end of the combat. Fast healing can do a lot to compensate for the Inquisitor’s d8 hit points, especially in long, protracted fights.
- Justice: You should be good enough at hitting things that you don’t need this, but once in a while it can be nice to hit more often than usual.
- Piercing: Because Inquisitors aren’t primary casters, they typically shouldn’t cast a lot of spells against their enemies, especially those with spell resistance. The bonus to Concentration checks is nice, but you will generally only need to concentrate to cast defensively, and your highest DC is only
- Protection: Sacred bonuses are extremely rare, so this will stack with almost anything you have. The bonus doesn’t scale very quickly, but it can be very nice if you need a little more AC.
- Purity: This can be fantastic when facing enemy spellcasters or enemies with scary special abilities like dragons.
- Resiliency: This is great against enemies with numerous small attacks (or numerous small enemies). Against enemies with small numbers of big attacks, Healing or Protection may be better choices.
- Resistance: It’s not a ton of resistance, but it’s quick to activate. If your enemy is only dealing energy damage every few rounds, you may do better to use the Healing inquisition and recover HP in the rounds between energy attacks.
- Smiting: Very helpful for handling DR on outsiders and golems.
Monster Lore (Ex): Very helpful for identifying monsters.
Stern Gaze (Ex): This helps quite a bit if you are the party’s face.
Cunning Initiative (Ex): Initiative bonuses are always fantastic.
Detect Alignment (Sp): Great for scouting and for determining people’s alignments.
Track (Ex): Situational, and very rarely important.
Solo Tactics (Ex): Take Precise Strike to get bonus damage when flanking. Take Coordinated Charge to follow your allies when they charge. This makes teamwork feats much better without requiring your allies to contibute.
Teamwork Feat: Combined with Solo Tactics, this grants you a huge number of tactical options. You also get the ability to change your most recently gained teamwork feat, which means you can change to something with difficult prerequisites or a situational use case.
Bane (Su): Bane is almost never a good choice for a permanent weapon enhancement because you can never gurantee that it will be useful. Inquisitors can throw it on their weapon and gurantee that it will be effective. Unfortunately, the number of rounds per day is very small, so save this for big important enemies. Note that bane also allows you to bypass DR.
Discern Lies (Sp): Situational, and you should already be great at Sense Motive due to Stern Gaze. You also have the spell Discern Lies avaialable as 4th level spell.
Second Judgment (Ex): As though Judgment wasn’t cool enough, now you get to use two at a time.
Stalwart (Ex): Like evasion for Will and Fortitude saves. Combined with a Ring of Evasion and good saving throw bonuses, you can be effectively immune to anything with a saving throw. I’m not sure why you can’t do this in heavy armor, but that’s not a problem really.
Greater Bane (Su): Here, have a bunch more damage.
Exploit Weakness (Ex): It is difficult to bring this to bear, but it’s a very cool flavor.
Third Judgment (Ex): Three Judgments at once. Turn on Healing, Protection, and Purity, and you’re basically indestructible.
Slayer (Ex): Increase the bonus from one of your Judgment types by 1 or 2, depending on the Judgment and your level.
True Judgment (Su): Save or Die with a decent DC, and you can use it once every 1d4 rounds with almost no preperation.
Abilities
Unfortunately, their wide range of abilities also makes the Inquisitor somewhat Multiple Ability Dependent (MAD). When planning your Inquisitor, be sure to decide which roles you wish to focus on and adjust your ability scores accordingly. This guide assumes that the Inquisitor is primarily a melee character, and these ability scores reflect that decision.
Str: Likely your primary combat ability score. Teamwork feats, which are a major part of the class, typically depend on being in melee combat alongside your allies. Because you have other capabilities, you aren’t as dependent on strength as Fighters or other strictly combat-focused classes, so you don’t need to dump all of your resources into Strength. Even if you prefer ranged weapons, Strength is an important source of additional damage.
Dex: Breastplate has a maximum dexterity bonus of +3, so a 16 in dexterity goes a long way to boost your AC, your worst save, and your ranged attacks.
Con: Always key for hit points, especially with your.
Int: Not strictly necessary, but nice for skill ranks and Knowledge skills.
Wis: Your spellcasting ability. Becuase you’re a 2/3 caster and don’t rely on direct spells to defeat opponents, you don’t need to focus on Wisdom in order to boost your AC. You won’t need more than 16 Wisdom, and you won’t need that much for quite a while, so don’t take more than 15 Wisdom at start to save points.
Cha: Unless you plan to be a Face, dump Charisma. Even if you need Intimidate, Stern Gaze gives you more than enough of a bonus to overcome an ability penalty. You can also take the Conversion Inquisition, which allows you to use your Wisdom score in place of Charisma for social skills.

Races
Your race determines a lot of your other character decisions as an Inquisitor. Bonuses to ability scores can allow you to shift ability score buy points around to focus on other areas. Racial proficiency with a good weapon is nice, and extra vision types are fantastic if you plan to be stealthy.
Dwarf: Bonuses to both constitution and your casting ability are nice, plus you get Darkvision and some nice defensive bonuses. The penalty to Charisma makes it hard to be a Face, but you can excel at everything else that an Inquisitor does. If you have a favorite Judgment, the Dwarf favored class option can be a good choice.
Elf: The Elf might make for a good ranged Inquisitor, but most of the Elf’s spellcasting-related abilities are wasted on the Inquisitor. The Elf favored class bonus allows you to learn additional spells, but Inquisitors are not primarily defined by their spells.
Gnome: Gnomes don’t get anything that benefits an Inquisitor.
Half-Elf: The flexible ability bonus is always nice, and Skill Focus can be nice to compensate for low ability scores. Low-light vision is situational, but nice to have. Consider taking the Drow-Blooded alternate racial trait to get Darkvision, and the Half-Elf favored class bonus is helpful if you depend heavily on teamwork feats. If you don’t want to lean on Teamwork feats a lot, you can take the Elf or Human favored class bonuses to learn extra spells.
Half-Orc: The half-orc gets proficiency with the Falchion (one of the best two-handed weapons), a racial bonus to Intimidate, darkvision, and a flexible ability score bonus. These bonuses work very well for the Inquisitor. The Half-Orc favored class bonus isn’t great, so consider taking the Human favored class bonus to get extra spells known.
Halfling: Good for stealthy or social Inquisitors who prefer ranged weapons. The Halfling favored class bonus is helpful if you depend heavily on teamwork feats.
Human: Always a good choice, you can put your ability score enhancement in almost any ability, and the skill points are always useful. The Human favored class bonus allows you to learn additional spells, but Inquisitors are not primarily defined by their spells.
Traits
- Axe to Grind (Combat): You should generally be fighting alongside your allies to take advantage of your teamwork feats, but sometimes it’s nice to work alone.
- Deft Dodger (Combat): Reflex saves are your worst save, so this is a good way to round out your defenses if you are not focused on ranged combat.
- Dirty Fighter (Combat): 1 damage isn’t much, but melee inquisitors do very well while flanking, so this can play into your combat strategy very well.
- Reactionary (Combat): Initiative bonuses are great, but not as important for Inquisitors as they are for primary casters or chargers.
- Resilient (Combat): Bonus to one of your good saves.
- Beacon of Faith (Faith): This can be really fantastic if your domain/inquisition is good.
- Disdainful Defender (Faith): Divine spells are half of all spells. If you expect to face divine spellcaster enemies, this is fantastic.
- Fate’s Favored (Faith): Works with some of your buff spells like Divine Favor and Divine Power.
- Indomitable Faith (Faith): Bonus to one of your good saves.
- Inspired (Faith): This is fantastic for any character who uses alot of skills.
- Schooled Inquisitor (Faith): Surprisingly bad, considering the name. Monster Lore should provide enough bonus that this won’t matter.
- Zealous Striker (Faith): Considering how situational this is, the bonus is pretty terrible.
- Dangerously Curious (Magic): If you have enough Charisma to be a face, this can make UMD very viable for you.
- Magical Knack (Magic): This is essential if you plan to multiclass.
- Bruising Intellect (Social): If you want to be really good at intimidate, but still don’t want to invest in Charisma, this can work very well for you.
- Child of the Streets (Social): If you plan to be the party’s Scout, this may be useful.
- Criminal (Social): Disable Device is a good choice if you plan to serve as the party’s Scout, though you don’t have Trapfinding.
- Warrior of Old (Elf Racial): See Reactionary.
- Elven Reflexes (Half-Elf Racial): See Reactionary.
Skills
- Bluff (Cha): Important social skill if you plan to be a Face.
- Climb (Str): Too situational to justify more than one rank.
- Diplomacy (Cha): The best social skill.
- Disguise (Cha): Very situational, but might be worth a rank if you can make it useful.
- Heal (Wis): Heal is an excellent way to supplement your party’s healing capabilities wihtout expensive magic items, but if you have someone in the party with a better Wisdom bonus, defer to them.
- Intimidate (Cha): Important social skill if you plan to be a Face, and you get a hefty bonus from Stern Gaze.
- Knowledge (arcana) (Int): Identifies many types of monsters. You get a class bonus to identify monsters, so you don’t need to max this, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do so if your party needs a Librarian.
- Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int): Identifies many types of monsters. You get a class bonus to identify monsters, so you don’t need to max this, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do so if your party needs a Librarian.
- Knowledge (nature) (Int): Identifies animals. You get a class bonus to identify monsters, so you don’t need to max this, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do so if your party needs a Librarian.
- Knowledge (planes) (Int): Identifies outsiders. You get a class bonus to identify monsters, so you don’t need to max this, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do so if your party needs a Librarian.
- Knowledge (religion) (Int): Identifies undead. You get a class bonus to identify monsters, so you don’t need to max this, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do so if your party needs a Librarian.
- Perception (Wis): The most rolled skill in the game. Wisdom is your spellcasting stat, so you should be good at this.
- Ride (Dex): If you plan to be mounted often, one rank is probably enough. If you’re looking for a Mounted Combat build, the Inquisitor is not the right class for it.
- Sense Motive (Wis): Important social skill if you plan to be a Face, or if your face doesn’t have it, and you get a hefty bonus from Stern Gaze.
- Spellcraft (Int): Definitely worth at least one rank to attempt to identify spells. but if you have other people in the party with Spellcraft don’t bother investing too heavily.
- Stealth (Dex): If you plan to be the party’s Scout, this is essential. If you have a Rogue or another scout, don’t worry about it.
- Survival (Wis): Useful for tracking, but because you get a class bonus to Track, don’t spend more than a few ranks.
- Swim (Str): Too situational to justify more than one rank.
Feats
Suggesting feats for inquisitors is hard. They’re a versatile class that can do a lot of things, but they also don’t have any obvious feat themes to pursue. Perhaps the best comparison is to a vanilla fighter: tons of options, but you’re not comitted to any of them by default. Teamwork feats seem tempting, but since you don’t get a way to share them with allies, they’re no more useful for an inquisitor than for anyone else. However, there are a handful of feats which specifically pertain to Inquisitors which we can examine.
- Channeling Scoure: Your Inquisitor levels stack with whatever class gave you Channel Energy. If you really like Channel Energy and want to multiclass, this might be useful, but that’s a really specific build.
- Instant Judgment: About to be dropped below 0 hit points? About to be targeted with a save-or-suck spell? Use your Immediate Action and switch your Judgment to keep yourself alive. You can normally switch your Judgment on your turn as a swift action, but that requires knowing what you will need ahead of time. You can’t always do that, unfortunately, so this offers a wonderful defensive option.
- Righteous Healing: First, it’s in-combat healing. Unless someone is unconcious, in-combat healing is usually a terrible idea. Second, the amount healed is very small.
- Shared Judgment: Extremely versatile. Chances are good that whatever Judgment you pick will be useful for someone else in the party. Worst-case scenario, use this with the Healing Judgment to save someone who’s low on hit points. Of course, it’s somewhat redundant with the Lend Judgment spell, and learning a spell is a much lower investment if you don’t plan to use this frequently. Plus, Lend Judgement lets you both benefit from the effect.
Weapons
The Inquisitor has limited weapon proficiencies. Because I can’t guess at your setting, your pantheon, or character’s deity, I am only able to assess the weapons available to all Inquisitors.
- Crossbow, Heavy Repeating: Amusing but terrible.
- Heavy Mace: Strictly worse than the morningstar.
- Morningstar: The best one-handed simple weapon. It is cheaper and lighter than a heavy mace, does the same damage, and can bypass two types of DR instead of one.
- Longbow: Even if you aren’t built for ranged combat you should carry a Longbow. The range is fantastic, and mighty composite longbows are the gold standard of ranged combat.
- Longspear: The only weapon available to the nquisitor which grants reach. Reach is pretty awesome, and there aren’t any simple weapons that deal more damage than a d8.
- Shortspear: The shortspear has all of the benefits of a spear, but allows you to use a shield in exchange for a slightly smaller damage die.
- Spear: The spear trades the longspear’s reach for a range increment, allowing you to throw the spear without penalty. This can be a fun tactical option, but throwing your primary melee weapon generally leaves you unarmed and ineffective.
- Deity’s Favored Weapon: Compare your deity’s favored weapon to the other options available. Most choices will be on par with a longsword, which is a fine choice if you prefer to use a one-handed weapon.
Armor
- Hide: Starting gear.
- Breastplate: The heaviest armor with which you are proficient. If you plan to be in melee, this is the way to go. If you plan to be an archer, Mithral Breastplate may still be viable, but you may need to use lighter armor as your dexterity increases.
- Buckler: If you want to use a two-handed weapon, cast spells during combat, or use a ranged weapon, the buckler is the way to go. It only provides one less AC than a heavy shield, and provides a lot of versatility.
- Light Shield: Unless you plan on shield bashing (and you shouldn’t), the buckler is strictly better.
- Heavy Shield: If you need AC and don’t mind giving up some damage output, take a heavy shield. You will need to drop your weapon to cast spells, so plan to use your spells outside of combat.
Spells
This section won’t address every spell on your spell list, but it will point out some especially notable options. For a complete list of spells, see the SRD Spell Index.
0-Level Spells
- Guidance: +1 to basically any d20 roll except a saving throw. Absolutely fantastic out of combat to buff people’s skill checks.
- Virtue: There’s nothing stopping you from walking around and casting this repeatedly to ensure that you always start a fight with 1 temporary hit point.
1st-Level Spells
- Lend Judgement: Ocasionally it may be useful to share your favorite buff with a friend. Because Judgment can do so much, it makes Lend Judgment an extremely versatile spell.
- Wrath: Divine Favor is typically better.
2nd-Level Spells
- Blistering Invective: Demoralizing an entire encounter with one spell is a huge advantage. The fire damage is a nice bonus, but that’s not what you want fromm this spell.
- Honeyed Tongue: Amazing if you’re the party’s Face.
- Interrogation: Torture is a touchy subject in many games. But hey, if you’re comfortable torturing captives for information, this can really help things along. Combined with Zone of Truth you can achieve some truly impressive results.
- Invisibility: Always a good option.
- Knock: Replaces half of Disable Device.
- See Invisibility: Good duration and absolutely essential if you don’t have other options in the party for handling invisibile creatures. A great candidate for permanency.
3rd-Level Spells
- Deadly Juggernaut: Inquisitors don’t get much from their class to make them murder machines. You’ll have better luck with Divine Favor.
- Dispel Magic: Essential in any party. You still get full caster level, so you’re just as good at this as a Cleric.
- Magic Vestment: One of my favorite buffs. You get the spell later than clerics, but you still get full caster level progression so the bonus is just as good. However, Inquisitors frequently go for two-handed weapons instead of shields, and without a shield you won’t enjoy this spell as much as a cleric would.
- Magic Weapon, Greater: One of my favorite buffs. You get the spell later than clerics, but you still get full caster level progression so the bonus is just as good. This will save you a fortune, but you’ll still need to spend gold if you want interesting weapon abilities.
- Stunning Bearier, Greater: An excellent defensive option, but the defensive bonuses won’t stack with Judgement and common defensive items. RAW you can stun the same creature repeatedly (“It is not discharged until it has stunned a number of creatures…”), but the intent is clearly that you can stun things a number of times equal to your caster level.
4th-Level Spells
- Interrogation, greater: The improved damage is pointless, and using a 4th-level spell slot in place of two 1st-level spell slots if probably a poor choice.
- Divine Power: Divine Favor and the best part of Haste at the same time.
5th-Level Spells
- Lend Judgement, Greater: By this level you have two judgements and you’re close to getting a third.
6th-Level Spells
- Heal: Ideally, the only in-combat healing that you will ever need.
Magic Items
Weapons
- Jurist (+1): Awful. Fortunately, only Inquisitors get to use it, so no one else will be disappointed by it.
- Menacing (+1): If you’re built for flanking, this can be really worthwhile. Outflank is an easy and reliable option for your bonus Teamwork Feats, and a combined +6 to hit while flanking is fantastic.
- Ominous (+1): A bonus to Intimidate, and if you score a critical hit the target is Shaken. This sounds tempting, but the skill bonus is tiny and the DC 13 Will save to resist the Shaken effect is worthless..
Armor/Shields
- Clawhand Shield (8, gp): This is a weird item. It’s a bit more expensive than your typical +2 shield, so it may not be worth the cost compared to a mithral buckler. However, it allows you to perform somatic components with the hand holding the shield, which means that you can hold a weapon in your other hand without issue, and because it has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure anyone can use it without issue. The ability to automatically damage enemies while in a grapple is a helpful deterrent for small or physical weak characters, but ion’t go looking for excuses to use it.
Rings
- Protection: You have a lot of spells which provide defelction bonuses to AC.
Wondrous Items
- Boots of Speed: At just 12,gp these are a steal. Activate them as a free action one round at a time, and you can easily stretch their use throughout an entire day. An essential for nearly any martial character.
- Cloak of Resistance: Too crucial to forgo.
Multiclassing and Prestige Classes
Choosing to multiclass depends heavily on your role in the party. Giving up levels of Inquisitor cuts into your spellcasting abilities and your class abilities, so think long and hard before giving up class levels.
- Rogue: One level gets you Trapfinding and Sneak Attack. Two gets you evasion and a Rogue Talent. You also get several skills as class skills (Disable Device, Knowledge (Local)) which the Inquisitor does not receive by default. If you plan to be a Scout for the party, you could do much worse.
- Fighter: Bonus feats and weapon and armor proficiencies. Good for a dip if you are one of your party’s major front-line characters.

Inquisitor Proficiencies
An inquisitor is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longbow, shortbow, and the favored weapon of her deity. She is also proficient with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).

Exploit Weakness
At 14th level, the inquisitor learns to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Whenever the inquisitor scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have. In addition, if the target has regeneration, the creature loses regeneration or the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round. Creatures whose regeneration always functions are immune to this ability.

Domain Selection
A divine caster's deity influences their alignment, what magic they can perform, their values, and how others see them. The character chooses domains (in quantity depending on their class) from among those belonging to their deity. A character can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if their own alignment matches that domain. Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the divine caster.
Clerics also gain a number of bonus spells. A cleric gains one domain spell slot for each level of cleric spell they can cast, from 1st on up. -tr Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from their two domains in that slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in a domain spell slot. Domain spells cannot be used to cast spells spontaneously.
Teamwork Feat
At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, the inquisitor gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus fez must be selected from those listed as teamwork feats. The inquisitor must meet the prerequisites of the selected bonus feat.

Orisons
Inquisitors can cast a number of orisons, or 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.
Stern Gaze
Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonus on all Persuasion skill checks made for intimidation and Perception checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).
Solo Tactics
At 3rd level, all of the inquisitor's allies are treated as if they possessed the same teamwork feats as the inquisitor for the purpose of determining whether the inquisitor receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies' positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the inquisitor to receive the listed bonus.

Bane
At 5th level, an inquisitor can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action.
A bane weapon excels against certain foes. Against a designated foe, the weapon's enhancement bonus is +2 better than its actual bonus. It also deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against such foes. This ability only functions while the inquisitor wields the weapon. If dropped or taken, the weapon resumes granting this ability if it is returned to the inquisitor before the duration expires.
This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the inquisitor's level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Stalwart
At 11th level, an inquisitor can use mental and physical resiliency to avoid certain attacks. If she makes a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that has a halved damage on a successful save, she instead avoids the damage entirely. This ability can only be used if the inquisitor is wearing light armor, medium armor, or no armor.
Greater Bane
At 12th level, whenever an inquisitor uses her bane ability, the amount of bonus damage dealt by the weapon against creatures of the selected type increases to 4d6.

Summon Monster
Starting at 1st level, a monster tactician can cast summon monster I as a spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Wisdom modifier. She can cast this spell as a standard action, and the creatures remain for 1 minute per level (instead of 1 round per level). At 3rd level and every 2 inquisitor levels thereafter, the power of this ability increases by 1 spell level, allowing her to summon more powerful creatures (to a maximum of summon monster IX at 17th level). A monster tactician cannot have more than one summon monster spell active in this way at a time; if she uses another, any existing summon monster immediately ends.
