I thought this class would be what I think of when someone says Inquisitor: Someone who hunted down heretics and converted them to their (the Inquisitor's) belief system.
Instead, you've got a glorified ranger.
I thought I'd see a class that ripped the thoughts out of someone's head, and would convert opponents to their side.
At the very LEAST this class could stand to benefit from some 'charm' spells.

Historically and in fiction, Inquisitions have nothing to do, in fact, with conversion. They're a politcal-religious construct to punish people who disagree with the Inquisition's leaders. It's all about punishment, not conversion. Their stated goal is sometimes (not nearly always) conversion, but they were never at all effective at it and rarely even seriously tried to do it in any other way but by torture and force of arms.

Oh. I feel silly now.
Even if Inquisitors didn't convert people, they still routed out the hiding places of their church's enemies, an ability that is still lacking from the inquisitor class.
Isn't that covered by their skills, having Track, and their spell list?

+1/2 level to Survival checks to find and follow tracks says otherwise. So do the locate object, divination, commune, discern lies, geas/quest, true seeing, legend lore, and find the path spells.
As Davi and Zurai have said, if he want to hunt down his foe's or the heratices of his faith, he has the power to do so
zone of truth, speak with dead, tracking, class skills... lots of class features which encourage truthfinding and investigation IMO.
