>Heresy has been suspected in your community>Choose who is going to investigate it>Option A: Warhammer Fantasy witchhunter>Much much more likely to not be corrupt by the chaos they claim to fight and competent>Option B: Warhammer 40k inquisitor>Much much more likely to be a cute girl (Vale from Chaos gate, Cains waifu/simp)
>>98283489Depends on the setting.
In medieval Bavaria the witchfinders were often just local magistrates who read one book and went mad with power... Like the time Bishop Friedrich of Salzburg burned 200 people because he found a cat that looked at him funny. This is Historical fact... Very seriousBut in DND the Inquisitor Prestige Class from Complete Divine is most balanced... Only broken if you take the Heretic's Bane feat from the third party supplement about naked elf tortureSo I choose Option C... A DND Inquisitor who is also a Cute Girl... But she is secretly a goblin wearing a skin suit made of real witch hunter skinEvery time she Smells heresy... She rolls a d20 and if it is a natural 1 she explodes into 2d4 smaller goblins that all accuse each other of being chaos spawnThe Community must then Decide which goblin is the real Inquisitor... But Plot twist the heresy was the Friends we made along the way
>>98283489How did this affect your last game?
Warhammer Fantasy Witch Hunters are actually pretty good at their jobs and the Empire is already wayyyyyy more laid back and less strict about what counts as heresy compared to 40k. The Empire is polytheistic and is fine with dwarves and elves and halflings, the Colleges of magic are allowed to operate openly, and frequently ends up allied with foreign powers against the forces of chaos or green skins. A 40k Inquisitor, even a ""good"" one obeying orthodox doctrine and not a radical, iconoclast, or heretic, might have it as standard protocol to silence all witnesses in the course of investigation just for simplicity's sake, or be paranoid that there's a 1 in 10,000 chance that you talking to him might reveal something that his enemies could exploit.The Empire is straight up hundreds to thousands of times better a place to live than the Imperium, and Witch Hunters have significantly more restrictions on their actions and authority. A single witch hunter can't have a schizo episode and decide to have every man, woman, and child in Nuln put to the sword at a moment's notice, whereas forget condemning entire cities in 40k, a paranoid Inquisitor can condemn entire planets.
>>98283489A warhammer fantasy witchhunter has to be way more likely to fall to chaos than an inquisitor. The inquisitor is pretty much better in every way, he/she is just also a lot crazier and more severe because he's dealing with heresy on a much grander scale.
>>98283502>Like the time Bishop Friedrich of Salzburg burned 200 people because he found a cat that looked at him funny. This is Historical fact... Very seriousSource? I'm not finding anything to back this. If it were really a burning of 200 people, then it'd be an absolutely huge event that should be easily findable.
>>98284894Almost every 40k video game has an inquisitor falling to chaos.I cant find a single example of a witch hunter falling
>>98284883Yeah but unlike fantasy, 40k's option looks like this and could just be acting tsundereShe exterminated your home when you were off planet so other girls couldnt flirt with you
>>98285810>>98284938two examples for Fantasy from BL novels: The uncle of Mathias Thulmann in the Witch Hunter series (he appears in book three incarcerated and questioned for his heretical knowledge) and Thaddeus Gamow, the Lord Protector of the Order, who is a secret Khorne cultist, as well as his direct underlings, in Mark of Heresy
>>98286018Eh? I was responding to what >>98283502 seemed to be saying about IRL history.
>>98283489>Both are warhammer could have at least hit use with a world of darkness witch hunter...
