Inquisitor

Inquisitor Alias: Vigicultist Alignment: Third-party Role type: Killing Recruiting Choice: Night

The Inquisitor is a self-aligned neutral with aspects of both the Serial Killer and the Cult Leader. Each Night (or Day in Nightless games), the Inquisitor may target a player. The Inquisitor will first attempt to kill that player; should he be unable to do so (due to passive abilities such as the Bulletproof Vest or roles such as the Doctor), he will then attempt to Recruit that player. A player recruited by the Inquisitor may or may not retain his or her former abilities (note that, if the Inquisitor is allowed to recruit Mafia, then recruits should not be able to retain factional abilities such as the Mafia nightkill).

The Inquisitor may have additional powers such as investigation immunity or limited kill immunity, but the Game Moderator should be wary when adding additional powers; the ability to recruit additional members into his faction makes the Inquisitor more powerful than your typical Serial Killer.

Historical note: This role was originally created by Mokina in the Worst Role Ideas thread, under the title Vigicultist.
