Learned inquisitors are studious souls, burning the midnight oil in preparation for their confrontation with heresy and sin. Their magic is learned and they have a spellbook much like a wizard, but they remain divine spellcasters and still use Wisdom to cast their spells.

Class Information

This is a inquisitor archetype

Hit Die: d8.

Class Features

This archetype has all normal class features, except as noted.

Class Skills

Add Knowledge (all) (Int) to the church envoy's list of class skills. Remove Bluff (Cha) and Disguise (Cha) from the list of class skills.

This results in the following list of class skills: Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (any) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Spells

A learned inquisitor casts divine spells which are drawn from the learned inquisitor spell list. Her alignment, however, may restrict her from casting certain spells opposed to her moral or ethical beliefs; see Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells. A learned inquisitor must choose and prepare her spells in advance.

To prepare or cast a spell, a learned inquisitor must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a learned inquisitor's spell is 10 + the spell level + the learned inquisitor's Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a learned inquisitor can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per 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.

Learned inquisitors meditate or pray for their spells. Each learned inquisitor must choose a time at which she must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether a learned inquisitor can prepare spells. A learned inquisitor may prepare and cast any spell on the learned inquisitor spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

Cantrips: Learned inquisitors can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Inquisitor Spells Known under “Spells Known.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. Note that the meaning of this table entry has changed from cantrips known to cantrips that can be prepared each day.

This replaces the normal inquisitor's spells ability, as well as stern gaze and teamwork feats gained at level 3, 12, and 18.

Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells

A blessed 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.
