Inquisitors and Domains / Subdomains


Rules Questions


Hey peeps.

Making my first Inquisitor and need to make sure I have this right.

During character creation, you can choose a domain and a subdomain, right? Do you adhere to both or one or the other? Do you get the powers from both or just one? Thanks.


You pick a domain OR a subdomain. Not both.


And how do Domain spells work with them. The same as Clerics? And are these chosen in lieu of an Inquisition?

The way it sounds in the APG is that you choose a Domain and then the Subdomain replaces the L8 power of the Domain.

For example, the Rage subdomain of the Destruction domain only states the Rage power "replaces" the destructive aura power of the Destruction domain, which is the L8 power for that domain. So wouldn't that mean you take the Domain, then the subdomain and replace the appropriate portion of the Domain's powers and Spells with those of the Subdomain and keep the first power of the Domain, or do you in effect lose that first power on taking the Subdomain?

Inquisitors do not get Domain Spells. Only the Domain Powers.

You may choose a Subdomain if your deity grants one.


Mkay thanks for the answers!

An inquisitor gains a single domain. He doesn't gain spells from that domain.

A subdomain is like an archetype for a domain. If you have a subdomain it replaces certain effects of a domain, so in an inquisitor's case it replaces the powers of the domain that is specifies and keeps the rest of the domains powers, and still grants no spells.

An inquisition is like a domain that is for inquisitors-only and therefore doesn't have spells associated with it. You take an inquisition as though it were your selected domain.

The inquisitor has one domain slot that may be filled with an appropriate domain (either modified by an appropriate subdomain or not) or by an inquisition, which counts as the inquisitor's domain.

Sorry if this post seems redundant. I just wanted to try to put all the info together and clarified.

I appreciate all the answers. Your post put everything together and now I know what I am doing! ;) Thanks to all...


like wolf said, the limitations like no bonus spells for a domain are why, depending on what your concept is, picking an Inquisition instead of a Domain might be a better choice for an Inquisitor.....
