Anger Inquisition vs. Lawfulness


Rules Questions


As of UltimateMagic, there are these inquisitions; alternate domains for Inquisitors.

In a game I DM, all my players are Shoanti Tribesmen. One of them is an Inquisitor. Since he finds his powers from a vast pantheon of ancestors, I houseruled he could pick up a Core God that matches the entity he worships and choose powers accordingly. We worked it up into a NeutralGood Gorum.

That was BEFORE Ultimate Magic came out. I gave all players 3 years downtime, a couple of levels, and the ability to retrain either a feat, or change archetype and such. The said Inquisitor wanted the Anger Inquisition.

What I didn't realize is that this Lawful Good Inquisitor has Rage at level 6. I find the concept very interesting, you know, divine wrath and all... but the ability says "Rage as a barbarian."

I know by core this doesn't happen, Gorum being Chaotic, so I ask you guys : Is being lawful removing that Inquisitor the ability to rage, speaking RAW ? Or is the No-Lawful element part of the barbarian class only?


I think this needs a bump.


Really, the only real difference between a Chaotic Neutral Inquisitor of Gorum and your Lawful Good Inquisitor of a homebrew "god" is their alignment. Unless there is a Lawful spell that he would normally be banned from that is utter broken with rage, there's really no mechanical problem.

I think it sounds pretty cool. If you like the idea and can see it working, go for it.


The Class is Chaotic...not the abilities, because barbarians don't subscribe to the normal Lawful aspects, Righteous Might Rage concept should work just fine.
