Those sons and daughters of the lay members of the Inquisition who show ability in the magic arts are channeled into two quite different orders. The males are trained to be Inquisitors while the females become healers. Inquisitors are taught to seek out all evil within the land, particularly secret practitioners of magic. To assist and protect them they are taught the skills of "anti magic" concentrating on dispelling rather than casting. Their staffs of office allow them to earth the power within a spell effectively dispelling it. The range for this effect is given below. Any spell cast or entering this area may be dispelled. This applies equally to friendly spells.

Staff of power
Each turn the inquisitor can try to discharge the winds of magic though his staff. Roll a D6 and the GM must roll a D6. If the inquisitor wins the roll off then no-one may cast any spells this turn including scrolls and rings.
Over many years of continuously "earthing" the winds of magic, inquisitors become infused with magical energy. The most senior inquisitors appear to have a silvery blue aura around them which heightens the peoples belief in their divine power. This aura has a more practical effect in battle as the inquisitor starts channeling magic energy and becomes filled with the rightous rage of battle the aura glows strongly making him difficult to look at. In addition the aura itself can slightly deflect the weapons of the enemy. This is resolved as an armour saving throw unmodified for strength. You do not have any choice about the dispel. It is automatic... even if it is a friendly spell.
| Level | Save | Range | Dispel | |
| Inquisitor | 2 | +1T | - | 5+ |
| Inquisitor Champion | 4 | +1T | 2 squares | 4+ |
| Inquisitor Master | 6 | +2T | 3 squares | 3+ |
| Inquisitor Grand Master | 8 | +3T | board section | 3+ |
Inquisitors will not wear any armour as it interferes with their aura. They will not ride horses either, preferring to walk. As for magical items he will not use any item that involves casting spells, armour or shields.
Inquisitors may visit the weaponsmith, the gun smith, general trader, temple and the ale house. When rolling on the ale house table you are at -3 to the roll as you are so unused to drinking.
As well as the normal temple rules you may try to see the priest to aid you in your training. You will never find a willing priest in villages but you will find one in towns on a 9+ on 2D6 and in cities on a 7+ on 2D6.

Inspire fear A roll must be made for any group of opposing monsters (except for the Undead) as if the Warrior caused Fear. A single roll is made for each type of monster present, adding their Fear rating to the roll, if any. Terror-causing monsters or those otherwise immune to fear or psychology are immune. The Warrior's Fear rating is equal to his Battle Level. If a monster group fails this roll, they are affected by Fear as described on page 81 of the Roleplay book. Their to-hit rolls against the Inquisitor are at -1. For monster spellcasters, if spell targets are randomly determined, the Inquisitor will not be considered a possible target. |
This guy HATES all magic users...including the ones in his party... Have fun :)
