Archetype Features

Sworn to Purity Level 1

An abolisher must select one of the following domains: Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, Water, or Weather. If she ever changes her deity to one that has none of the listed domains, she loses this archetype and becomes a normal inquisitor or ex-inquisitor. This ability alters domains.

Revealing Gaze Level 1

An abolisher receives a morale bonus on opposed Perception checks against other creatures' Disguise and Stealth checks equal to half her inquisitor level (minimum +1). She grants this bonus to all adjacent allies. This ability replaces stern gaze.

Expose Aberration Level 2

At 2nd level, an abolisher can use detect aberration at will. When she hits a creature with a weapon attack, she automatically knows if the creature is an aberration or not. At 5th level, she can activate her bane ability as an immediate action after she hits an aberration but before damage is rolled. This ability replaces detect alignment and alters bane.

Escape Corruption's Grasp Level 5

At 5th level, an abolisher is divinely protected against the grasping tentacles and paralyzing secretions of aberrations. For a number of rounds per day equal to her inquisitor level, she can ignore impediments to movement, as per freedom of movement. These rounds don't need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is an immediate action. This ability replaces discern lies.
