Choosing This Subclass

When you choose a subclass for your character, you can instead choose this subclass options, so long as the subclass is compatible with your character’s class.
You can choose the subclass only once, even if you multiclass into another class that is also compatible with the subclass

At Higher Levels

When your character would normally gain a new subclass feature (as noted in your character’s class table), you gain a feature from this subclass instead.
All the subclass features detailed here have a level prerequisite, as noted beneath their name, and you must meet the prerequisite to gain the feature.
For example, to gain a feature noted as “Level 6+,” your character must be 6th level or higher in the class for which the subclass was chosen.
When you reach certain levels, you might be eligible to choose from among multiple features in the subclass.
When you reach such a point, you select one of these features for your character to gain.
Unless otherwise specified, you can gain no more than one subclass feature at a time

Inquisitor

Fighter, Rogue, & Monk subclass
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.

Cunning Herald

Level 3+ Inquisitor Feature Choose one of the following when you gain this subclass:

  • You learn guidance & one cleric cantrip of your choosing.
    Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability score for these spells (choose the ability when you gain this feature).
  • You gain proficiency in medium armor, shields, & all crossbows.
  • You can pronounce judgement as a free action.

Pronounce Judgement

Level 3+ Inquisitor Feature
When you gain this subclass you can pronounce judgement as a bonus action.
When you use this bonus action, choose one of the following judgements:

  • Healing- At the start of your turn you regain 1 hit point.
  • Justice- Once per turn you gain a +1 bonus to an attack roll.
  • Protection- You gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
  • Purity- You gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws.


You retain a judgement's benefits for 1 minute, until you're knocked unconscious, or until you use this feature again.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your PB, & regain all uses after a long rest.

Baleful Bane

Level 6+ Inquisitor Feature
As a free action you can bane your unarmed strikes or weapon attacks, tailoring them to an enemy within 60ft that you can see.
When the baned weapon or unarmed strike deals damage to the target it deal an additional damage die
(dagger becomes 2d4, rapier becomes 2d8, etc).

This effect lasts for 1 minute, until you're knocked unconscious, or until you use this feature again.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to your PB, & regain all uses after a long rest.

Shared Judgement

Level 9+ Inquisitor Feature
Whenever you pronounce judgement you can choose up to 2 allies within 30 feet of you.
Chosen allies gain the effects of your chosen judgement.
Additionally your judgements gain the following replacement effects:

  • Healing- At the start of your turn you regain hit points equal to your PB.
    If you take radiant or necrotic damage this trait doesn't function at the start of your next turn.
  • Justice- Once per turn, you gain a bonus to an attack roll equal to 1/2 your PB (round up).
  • Protection- You gain a bonus to your AC equal to 1/2 your PB (round up).
  • Purity- You gain a bonus to one chosen saving throws equal to your PB.
    If another source besides proficiency would give you a flat bonus to that saving throw you must choose which takes effect, that source or this judgement.

Allies retain a judgement's benefits for 1 minute, until they or yourself are knocked unconscious, or until you use this feature again.

Greater Bane

Level 11+ Inquisitor Feature
When you use your Baleful Bane feature, the next time you deal damage with a baned weapon or unarmed strike, choose one of the following effects.
Until the end of your next turn:

  • When the target makes an attack roll it rolls 1d4 at advantage, & subtracts the result from it's total.
  • When the target makes a saving throw it rolls 1d4 at advantage, & subtracts the result from it's total.
  • When you make an attack roll against the target roll 1d4 at advantage.
    The target's AC is reduced by the result.


Furthermore, baned weapons or unarmed strikes deal an additional damage die
