Your blood is a stain upon the earth.

Blood is a powerful thing, it can make a man a king or a boy a mage. Whether this power is political, magical, or simply heritage doesn't matter to a Sanguine Inquisitor. He sees blood as a thing to manipulate regardless of its form. With a touch he can draw blood from his foes and it reside within him, these are known as Blood Marks. If a Sanguine Inquisitor has you as a Blood Mark, you will never escape his notice.

Sanguine Inquisitor's gain their powers from the gods and as such generally work for temples in finding heretics and severely punishing them, but as the years pass they generally become corrupted in the pursuit of good.

Corrupt Sanguine Inquisitor's force their belief onto others and make them into slaves of good.

Role: They generally fight at the front-lines using their skill with weapons and armor to good use and smiting heretics whenever possible. A Sanguine Inquisitor can also be a supporting character in the group.

Alignment: Sanguine Inquisitors can be of any alignment or desposition, but as they develop they general descend into evil.

Religion: A Sanguine Inquisitor's power comes from his devoted worship of a good aligned god.

Hit Die: d10

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Sanguine Inquisitor.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Inquisitors are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields).

Blood Mark (Su): As a standard action the Sanguine Inquisitor may make a melee touch attack. If the attack is successful, the target is dealt 1d4 lethal damage as the target's blood is drained from them and suffuses the Sanguine Inquisitor. The Sanguine Inquisitor may instead choose to deal 1 nonlethal damage when using this ability.

Doing this grants that target as a Blood Mark. The maximum amount of Blood Marks that a Sanguine Inquisitor is alloted is noted on the table above.
If using this ability would exceed the limit then you must select one Blood Mark you currently have, this Blood Mark is removed.

This ability only works on creature of the following types: Aberration, Animal, Dragon, Fey, Humanoid, Magical Beast, Monstrous Humanoid, Outsider (without the Elemental Subtype), and Vermin.

If a creature with a Blood Mark dies, then the Sanguine Inquisitor retains that blood mark for one day.

Blood Points: A Sanguine Inquisitor gains divine power from the gods in the form of limited power over blood. This is represented by Blood Points. A Sanguine Inquisitor has a number of Blood Points equal to the amount indicated on the table plus his constitution modifier.
These Blood points can be restored by praying to his deity after at least two hours of rest.

Blood Never Lies (Su): By expending a blood point and taking a standard action you can cast Detect Thoughts on a single creature you have as a Blood Mark, except the only function of the spell is reading the targets surface thoughts and that it has no maximum range as long as the target is on the same plane of existence.
The Caster Level of this ability is equal to your Sanguine Inquisitor level. The Save DC of this ability is equal to 12 plus your charisma modifier.

In addition while this ability is active, whenever the target lies you instantly know. This doesn't tell you the truth nor does it detect when a person says something that is wrong and they believe.

Intuition (Ex): Sanguine Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and valuing objects. A Sanguine Inquisitor receives a morale bonus on all Appraise and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 his Sanguine inquisitor level (minimum +1).

As a swift action, the Sanguine Inquisitor chooses one intelligent creature within sight to smite. If this target doesn't worship the same god as the Sanguine Inquisitor, the Inquisitor adds half his Charisma bonus (if any) to his attack rolls and adds his Inquisitor level to all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. If the target of smite heretic is a creature with the evil alignment, the Inquistor adds his Charisma bonus (if any) to his attack rolls instead of only half. Regardless of the target, smite heretic attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.

In addition, while smite heretic is in effect, the Inquisitor gains a deflection bonus equal to his Charisma Bonus (if any) to his AC against attacks made by the target of the smite.

If the Inquisitor targets a creature that does worship the same god as the Sanguine Inquisitor, the Inquisitor is paralysed for 1d10 rounds (No Save). If the Inquisitor targets a creature that has an intelligence score of 2 or lower, the smite is wasted with no effect.

The smite heretic effect remains until the target of the smite is dead or the next time the Inquisitor rests and regains his uses of this ability. At 6th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the Inquisitor may may use Smite Heretic one additional time per day, as indicated on Table above, to a maximum of five times per day at 18th level.

Sanguine Trail (Su): As of fourth level, by expending a blood point and taking a free action you can track a Blood Mark.

A Sanguine Inquisitor may have enslaved spawn totaling no more than twice its own Sanguine Inquisitor level; any spawn it creates that would exceed this limit become free-willed undead. A Sanguine Inquisitor may free an enslaved spawn in order to enslave a new spawn, but once freed, a vampire or vampire spawn cannot be enslaved again.

Elixer of Life (Su): A Sanguine Inquisitor of 18th level, can create elixers of positive energy from his blood as a full-round action.

Also as long as he has at least 5 Blood Points he gains an extra +20 Hitpoints and immunity to death from massive damage.

Code Of Conduct: A Sanguine Inquisitor's power comes from the Divines and as such is bound to certain codes. Strangely even if you worship a good god it is possible to be evil and still follow these tenants.

The Code is thus:

To respect your Deity and Maintain their Religion
To serve the Ruler with Valour and Faith
To Protect the weak and Defenseless
To give succour to widows and orphans
To live by honour and for glory
To fight for the welfare of all
To guard the honour of fellow warriors
To keep faith
At all times to speak the truth
To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe

A Sanguine Inquisitor must attempt to follow these tenants to the best of his ability and to break one without care causes you to lose your class features (They are only able to returned by an Atonement Spell or by Divine Intervention).
But if a Tenant is being broken in the name of good, then the offence causes no issue and the Sanguine Inquisitor retains his class features.

Vampire Spawn
An Inquisitor can elect to create a vampire spawn instead of a full-fledged vampire when he uses his Followers of Blood ability on a humanoid creature only. This decision must be made as a free action whenever an Inquisitor slays an appropriate creature by using Fangs of the Night. A vampire spawn's statistics are identical to those of a wight, save for the following changes.


It gains the blood drain and dominate vampire special attacks.
It gains channel resistance +2, DR 5/silver, resist cold and electricity 10, fast healing 2, and the vampire qualities: gaseous form, shadowless, and spider climb.
A vampire spawn gains all of the standard vampire weaknesses.
A vampire spawn is CR 4.
It does not gain the wight's Create Spawn ability.
