Oath of Inquisition

A Paladin's measure of justice is, regardless of oath, always determined through her actions. What she does in life, who she chooses to save, who she chooses to end. But few take their actions as seriously as the Inquisitors. These brave but zealous individuals are employed as elite soldiers, capable of executing almost suicidal missions with perfection, in service of their beliefs.

Tracker of Heresy

An Inquisitor is a missionary. Often they are sent out as elite covert soldiers and evangels of their faith, and their missions are just as often peaceful as they are harmful. But often, an Inquisitor's goal is to track down and neutralize any possible heretics.

Tenets of Inquisition

Like all Paladins and their individual Oaths, Inquisitors swear themselves to eternally follow their faith. Breaking the faith itself is considered a high-level heresy in almost every church. You may choose a tenet from the Oath of Devotion as well.

Fear not the Unknown: No matter the lands you find yourself, do not balk at that which no one has ever seen. The unknown is a natural occurrence in an Inquisitor's life, and she must learn to tame it. A master Inquisitor makes the unknown fear her.

Always find the Truth: Never shy away your inquisitive mind from what might be, regardless of how ugly the truth may be. Do all you can to find the facts, and do not stain your faith with lies.

Stay Focused: Do not let your mind wander. Anything could be of importance to your divine mission, and you must do your utmost to remain focused on that divine calling.

Purge Heretics: Your faith, your belief, is the one. Possibly, rather than faith, you stick true to your alignment. You're resolved to seek out those who would claim otherwise, or those who would claim that yours is the incorrect one. Your goal is to either convert or eliminate heretics.
