Spellcasting

Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The inquisitor casts one of the following spells, requiring no components and using Intelligence as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 15):

At will: detect magic, dispel magic, levitate, mage armor, mage hand, sending

1/day each: Otiluke's resilient sphere, telekinesis

Actions

Multiattack. The inquisitor attacks twice.

Force Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit:22 (4d8 + 4) force damage, and if the target is a Large or smaller creature, the inquisitor can push it up to 10 feet away.

Silver Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage, or 9 (1d10 + 4) if used with two hands, plus 18 (4d8) force damage.

Implode (Recharge 4–6). Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the inquisitor can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 31 (6d8 + 4) force damage and be knocked prone and moved to the unoccupied space closest to the sphere's center. Large and smaller objects that aren't being worn or carried in the sphere automatically take the damage and are similarly moved.

Reactions

Telekinetic Deflection. In response to being hit by an attack roll, the inquisitor increases its AC by 4 against the attack. If this causes the attack to miss, the attacker is hit by the attack instead.

Lore

"Evil lurks everywhere. With our minds, we will unearth it, we will plumb its depths, and we will annihilate it." With those words, the psychically gifted priest Ulmed founded the Ulmist Inquisition, an order of psionic inquisitors that seeks to discover the wickedness hiding in people's souls.
