SPECIAL TRAITS

• Aura of Clarity. While within 10 feet of a conscious inquisitor judge, creatures of the judge’s choice can’t be blinded or frightened, and creatures and objects can be invisible only if the judge allows it.
• Brand Heretic (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). As a bonus action, the inquisitor judge chooses one creature the judge can see within 30 feet of it. The judge marks the target as a heretic. For 1 minute, the judge’s weapon attack rolls against the heretic score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. At the start of each of the heretic’s turns, the judge can use a reaction to make one weapon attack against the heretic.
• Smite. When the inquisitor judge hits with a melee weapon attack, it can expend one spell slot to deal extra radiant damage. The extra damage is 9 (2d8) for a 1stlevel spell slot, 13 (3d8) for a 2nd-level one, and 18 (4d8) for a 3rd level slot.
• Spellcasting. The inquisitor judge is a 12th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 14). The judge has the following paladin spells prepared:
• 1st level (4 slots): detect magic, hunter’s mark, protection from evil and good
• 2nd level (3 slots): detect thoughts, lesser restoration
• 3rd level (3 slots): dispel magic, remove curse
