Sacred 2:Gruesome Inquisition

Introduction: The Gruesome Inquisitor

The Inquisitor is an excellent melee fighter. He is not defensive; instead, he prefers to attack relentlessly with no regard for his own protection. He knows very well that his best defense lies in preventing a second blow from his opponents. The Inquisitor uses his privileges and an extremely high degree of sadism as only these former clergymen do. He disposes of his opponents by various cruel means such as shackling them to a pillory or even executing them.

Gruesome Inquisition Combat Arts

Callous Execution

Powerful blow or stab that will inflict heavy damage on an opponent.

Ruthless Mutilation

A strike that will damage and slow down all opponents within a half-circle in front of the Inquisitor.

Mortifying Pillory

The target opponent is condemned as outlaw, granting former allies a chance to turn against the target. Additionally, portions of weapon damage will be converted into poison damage.

Frenetic Fervor

Increases attack speed and maximum attack value for a brief period of time.

Purifying Chastisement (Buff)

Channels physical pain into offensive damage. The more the Inquisitor is wounded by opponents, the greater the damage he wields, up to a maximum threshold.

Bonuses and Penalties

Like all special mounts, this Spider gives a large bonus to the rider's hitpoints and defense at the cost of increasing the regeneration penalty of combat arts.

However, this aspect mount gives a special bonus which offsets the regeneration penalty to Gruesome Inquisition. Therefore, the Gruesome Inquisitor will desire this Spider. Combined with the Riding skill, regeneration times for this aspect will eventually be lower when mounted than on foot!

Gruesome Inquisition Set: Ilgard's Judgment
