No one expects the Roguish Inquisition!

Multiclass with Way of Shadow Monk and you basically have Batman. I want to do this.

So basically Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty are the archetypes for the inquisitive and The Mastermind?

This book can't come out fast enough

sounds perfect for an Eberron setting

I have never wanted rule-book so much.

These videos help supplement the material very nicely. In addition it helps advertise the product. G Damn I love me some D&D well done and keep the content coming! 👏👍

I think it's funny that he talked about the mastermind being a manipulator even though it barely gets any abilities to support that playstyle

I'm currently working an Inquisitive Rogue, and it's a good class for a more Indiana Jones type. He gets to figure out the historical aspects of a dungeon, figuring out the traps, and when not in a dungeon, trying to figure out people's intentions. Definitely also a good "spy" type for those who don't want the moral implications of an assassin type.

Going to do a buddy cop story with a Half-elf Mark of Detection inquisitive rogue. Older brother to a Half-orc Mark of Finding Paladin Oath of the Ancients(was a search and rescue officer)

I cannot wait for this!

I just love this subclass!

Pre-Ordered my copy! This is coming out just in time for my new campaign!!! It's set in a Victorian Era D&D campaign with VERY LIMITED magic.

This sounds great!

I created an Inquisitive Rogue a year-and-a-half ago. Everyone who's played with or heard about that character find it very interesting and want to see (more of) that character in action.

The Inquisitive is really focused on insight, and much less so on perception and investigation (as it is currently in UA), the only thing I would want them to add to it is a bit more on that front at level 3. Level 9 is the only perception based ability they get. Going for that detective route, I see the insight bit, but def more on investigation and perception would be nice.

Talesin Jaffe would love this!

I played a rogue with 18 int (d&d 3.5) one of my favs of all time.

I have a halfling detective inquisitive waiting in the wings!

Tyrion and Varys sound like they would fit Mastermind and Inquisitive well.

MAN! I can't wait to add some film noir to my current campaign! Especially adding a villain that just destroys my party using only his/her mind!

I'm building an inquisitive rogue with high int and high wis, with expertise in insight, perception and investigation. The kind of character who will notice every tiny detail and be able to recognise exactly how and why it's relevant. Honestly I'm kinda considering putting both wis and int above Dex, or at the very least just the wisdom

Mastermind reminds me of Cal Lightman from Lie to Me

Cant wait to make a Inquisitive Kenku!

Two friends of mine recently played a mastermind rogue as Watson and a mystic as Sherlock, but this could work quite well.

I love my mastermind rouge. It would be cool to see a mastermind / Inquisitive team up

My artificer is an investigator, +15 Investigation! So much fun!

I was making a Deep Gnome detective, so this works out great!

Has it been changed at all since the Unearthed Arcana?

I play my arcane trickster as an investigator, ritual caster adds spells and expertise in perception and investigation. (Rob Da Hood)

IF IT'S DONE CAN YOU JUST MAIL IT OUT ALREADY? I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

Imagine if one player plays an Inquisitive detective or a Mastermind spy/criminal and the DM makes their in-world nemesis the other one, it'd be like a Sherlock Holmes or James Bond story in the campaign

I'm actually a bit surprised this Rogue Archetype was so well rated. For all the talk about being able to do things with mundane tools that are the domain of the Wizard normally, they don't actually have a way to do so. They don't have Detect Magic or See Invisibility, and their closest equivalent doesn't come online until 13th level. At least it did in the playtest. Maybe it's been improved, but I really don't see how this rogue can out investigate an Arcane Trickster that's taking divination with their every any school spell.

Dip this with Drunken Master Monk and we get Captain Sherlock Sparrows

I really hope for some paladin subclasses!

I don't see why eye for detail doesn't give the same benefits for investigation that the ear for deceit for insight (the can't roll below 8 one)

The subclass is really interesting but the name is very odd to me, like its not like a 'job' or 'role' like most other subclasses like assassin would be.

Does anyone know all the class options added, and if there's new classes like the artificer or Mystic as well as races?

TAKE MY MONEY!

FINISH THE MYSTIC!

Is this kind of like beguiler then?

God, More than Anything i can not wait for rogue to get Shadow Dancer!!! but the new Rogue paths here are pretty cool, not as cool, but cool.

So, Inquisitives are Sherlock and Masterminds are Moriarty. Neat!

Or Sherlock and Mycroft

What about the Arcane Archer?!

Their description is a lot closer to batman than holmes...

or a Gibbs. definatly a Gibbs

So Sherlock Holmes and Little Finger

If the Inquisitive is Sherlock Holmes, then the Mastermind is Moriarty.

i hope monster hunter is included in this as well.

Has the rogue become the class that is everything that wouldn’t fit any other class? Sure it has a flavor of its own, but some subclasses…

I would have called it the INVESTIGATIVE Rogue, but I a liking this.

I dont associate the mastermind with charisma at all. Only one half of the level 17 ability even involves charisma, and I wouldnt give myself a high charisma just on the off chance that someone was reading my mind when I am level 17. I built my mastermind with high int and wis and I took observant and I took expertise in investigation and perception. Later I took expertise in insight. So to me the mastermind was already the sherlock holmes int/wis rogue. But I will wait to see how the Inquisitive works out.

Batman, nice ;)

I created a Rogue Inquisitive for the Descent into Avernus campaign. He worked for the Church of Torm as an Inquisitor purging the land of demonic cults, focusing on perception, insight, history and religion. It was really fun until the DM decided 3/4 the way through the campaign he wanted to play something else and ended the game. Dick.

sound like clear, my mind is american, but I want to be continue japan life.

It's Batman the class.

Why didn't you say Moriarty. I thought you were gonna say it but you didn't.

Sherlock Holmes learned anything that would help him with deduction. In D&D he would be a wizard.

Inquisitive is an adjective. Why not just call it “Inquisitor,” or “Detective”? ::: sigh :::

Discombobulate

It's not Sherlock Holmes.... It's Batman lol

The Mastermind has absolutely nothing to do with Charisma. Shows that what the Devs think of a class don't reflect what they can actually do in game per the rules the Devs created. It is the Swashbuckler with Panache which can charm a target. Masterminds cannot manipulate enemies but they can perceive weaknesses in their enemies with their 9th level feature which is what Crawford explains the Inquisitive does. It all makes very little sense. I am in the minority in that I am actually now concerned about the upcoming book. SCAG was not a very good book and many of the subclasses were IMO subpar (Mastermind, Banneret & Undying Warlock), now we have this video that makes Crawford look like he is confusing the Rogue subclasses and I am worried we will have more subpar subclasses.

Meh. What about mystics?
