Hi, below is a Paragon Path that one of my players came up with. Essentially, he missed the ability from 3.5 that allowed evil and neutral clerics to inflict wounds the same way that good clerics could heal wounds. Here's what he came up with:
---------------
Ruthless Inquisitor
“Before I leave, you will tell me everything…”
Prerequisite: Cleric class, trained in Insight, healing word class feature, any non-good alignment
You have been charged by your order to flush out the heretics that corrupt the faith from within. Set apart from the mainstream worshippers, you set about your unpleasant business. Using unconventional methods and brutal tactics you coerce vital information from dissenters and compel them to recant their heathen ways. Lying is not beneath you if it nets you the information you need or gets you closer to the leader of a heretical group, neither is beating a confession out of some one.
Ruthless Inquisitor Path Features
Inflict Serious Wounds (11th level): You gain the inflict wounds power. You must expend a use of healing word to use this power.
Inflict Serious Wounds
Sometimes pain can loosen even the tightest of tongues.
Encounter (Special) ♦ Divine
Minor Action Melee touch
Target: One creature
Effect: The target takes 4d6 damage. Increase the damage dealt to 5d6 at 16th level, 6d6 at 21st level, and 7d6 at 26th level.
Special: You must expend a use of your healing word class feature to use this power. You can use this power only once a round.
I Want the Truth (11th level): You are trained in Bluff and Intimidate. In addition, you gain a +5 bonus to any skill check made in conjunction with rituals of the Divination category, as well as the Speak with Dead ritual.
Interrogating Action (11th level): You can spend an action point to gain a +5 bonus to your next Insight or Intimidate check, instead of taking another action.
Biting Remark (16th level): Add your Wisdom modifier to the damage dealt by inflict serious wounds. In addition, when you use inflict serious wounds, you gain a +2 bonus to the next Bluff, Insight, or Intimidate
check you make before the end of your next turn.
