Masked Inquisitor
A figure stands dressed in red robes from head to toe. A perfectly crafted porcelain mask protects its face. Its eyes burn with silent hate, yet its voice is soft and almost gentle.
Undead Fanatics
Servants of Eyez'Kunda of the Many Eyes, these inquisitors are clerics whose devotion is so great that they have transcended death itself to serve her. They root out out heresy wherever they find it and enforce the devotion of their deity. They wear porcelain masks at all times. If removed, the mask reveals the head of a rotting corpse, with bits of dead flesh hanging off and insects crawling inside it. The corpse has an eye tattooed on its forehead. Further inspection will reveal 11 eye tattoos on the inquisitor's body, one for each of Eyez'Kunda's eyes. The inquisitor can shoot rays from its tattoos, but only if it removes its mask.

Mask. As long as the inquisitor is wearing its mask, it has a +2 to its AC and has advantage on all saving throws. Its mask has an AC of 20, and 10 hitpoints, but must be targeted directly by an attack to be damaged. An inquisitor may not make a ray attack while wearing its mask, and can take off or put on its mask as a bonus action. At the start of its turn, if the inquisitor is wearing its mask it regains 10 hitpoints.
Bonus Actions
Teleport. The inquisitor teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see.
