The Inquisitor - maybe a name change

[The Forgotten]

I hope I don't come off as to PC here but if I'm remember correctly the Inquisition in the New World was horribly bloody boarding on genocide against native peoples. Maybe this class should be renamed? In a new world context having an Inquisitor class is something like having an SS Officer character class, its going to be seen by some as more than a bit offensive.

Does not matter what they were, but how the word is seen in most fantasy. Which is something like a crusader/slayer hybrid in most fantasy. A holy zealot, a slayer, a heretic hunter.

This one channels a bit of buffy and van helsing

Please, no more of these name threads, people.

The names are here. They are staying. All you're doing is clogging up the forum with needless debate -- needless, because it does absolutely nothing.

(As for the inquisition's genocide in America, that's a new one on me. They were bad enough, but I've read quite a bit about the Spanish conquest, and as far as I can recall, the inquisition carried out a total of 3 executions directly in the Americas. I may be wrong on that, because it was a while back that I read it, but the main role of the Spanish church in the histories I've read was trying to restrain the secular authorities from using the locals as forced labor during the early days. Some of their polemics on the subject, in fact, were quite anti-colonial in their bent. Without venturing into murky political waters here, I can say that my readings have never detected a massive Spanish Inquisition presence or effect in the New World. Now, the smallpox virus, on the other hand ....)
