Oath of the Inquisitor

The Oath of the Inquisitor is taken by those who wish to rid the world of magics they consider evil or impure.

TENETS OF INQUISITION

The tenets of the Oath of the Inquisitor vary between every paladin but all tenets revolve around cleansing the world of impure magic.

Purge The Heretic. The dark wielders of impure magic must always be silenced.

Rebuff the Darkness. Those untouched by foul magic must be helped to remain pure.

Power through Knowledge. An unlearned inquisitor is an ineffective one, but do not allow yourself to be corrupted.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of the Inquisitor Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

The DC equals 10 + the spells level. On a success the spell fails and has no effect and the caster takes 2d6 plus your paladin level psychic damage. On a failure the spell does not fail and the caster takes half the damage.

Purge Heresy - As a bonus action you can use your Channel Divinity to mark a creature as evil.

At the end of the effected creatures turn they make a Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on a success.
