History TabletopGame / Inquisitor

* DropTheHammer: There are a number of hammer type weapons available for characters to use in the game, including basic hammers, great hammers[[note]]such as the one wielded by sample character Preacher Josef[[/note]] to the more technological power hammers. All such weapons deal a large amount of damage and have an increased chance of causing a {{Knockback}} with each hit.

* WhipItGood: The Electro' Nine Tails, introduced at the same time as the Bosun Aberic Brawden model, is an electrified, multi-tailed whip intended to represent the [[ATasteOfTheLash harsh discipline common in Imperial Navy]]. In-game, the weapon does similar damage to a short sword but has a longer reach, is more difficult to parry and has a chance to stun its target.

* KnifeNut: Characters with the Blademaster talent, such as the twin Death Cult Assassins Severina and Sevora, are masters of knife fighting, able to cause more damage with a knife than other characters can cause with a sword.

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: The PowerFist used by Inquisitor Tyrus[[note]]one of the game's premade characters[[/note]] is fitted with a retractable power knife that can be used as a punch dagger when the fanatical Inquisitor requires precision and speed over destructive power.

''Inquisitor'' is a "narrative wargame," designed more around telling stories than providing fair and balanced competition between two players, and in many ways could be considered the spiritual forefather to the first true 40k roleplaying game, ''TabletopGame/DarkHeresy''. It also served as the inspiration for the ''Literature/{{Eisenhorn}}'' series of novels by Creator/DanAbnett. The game is also notable for its miniatures, which (at 54mm scale) are approximately twice as large as a normal 40k miniature, with a correspondingly increased level of detail. Although Games Workshop no longer actively supports ''Inquisitor'', the miniatures remain available through the company's Specialist Games division, and the rulebooks and other supplementary material are [[http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat410008&categoryId=1100014&section=&aId=4900004 available for download]] on the GW website.

* GroinAttack: The groin is a targetable hit location, complete with its own set of health levels. Getting hit in the groin tends to leave characters temporarily stunned from the pain, in addition to any other ill effects they may suffer.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Nearly everyone. It's something of a theme.

* RuleZero: The GM is the final arbiter of everything, as is usual in an RPG.
* SurveillanceDrone: The game includes a specific class of Servo-Skull, the Hunter-skull, that is packed full of sensors, auspexes and other such devices to seek out and detect their owner’s enemies. A Hunter-skull is linked directly to the owning character in in-game, the character is always aware of everything the skull is aware of.

* WideEyedIdealist: Inquisitor Covenant (by Inquisition standards, anyway).

* {{Intangibility}}: The Instability Daemonology {{psychic power}} allows a psyker to partially enter warpspace so that they can pass through solid object, ignoring all terrain and other characters, but being unable to make any attacks. While in effect, the power also makes the psyker utterly immune to all normal attacks as they pass right through him. Only psychic abilities and weapons can harm a character using the instability power as such attacks effect both warpsapce and the material realm.
