[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 8817746, member: 7025431"] If you want to play a Sherlock Holmes type character without magic I guess this is the subclass for it. I've never seen one in play but the level 3 features seem fine. Toss expertise on Insight, put a 12+ in Wisdom, and at level 3 your insight rolls are a minimum of 12 or higher. Now you can use your insightful fighting ability with a high chance of success. Steady Eye at level 9 is certainly a feature. Unerring Eye at level 13, imo, seems like it would be better as a passive feature that illusions, shapechangers, and magical deceptions roll against instead of being a guessing game for the player. Eye for Weakness at level 17 is just a straight numbers boost but that's fine considering what the Inquisitive has so far received. It comes across as a very niche subclass and reminds me of the PHB ranger. It has areas that it can really excel at but doesn't feel particularly special on a day to day basis. [/QUOTE]
