traveling under cover for which the trader is compensated in inquisitorial resources and perhaps other boons, Inquisitors of all ordos often do under cover work so showing up in fire and fury with ships and such screaming inquisition is not viable a rouge trader is both good cover for travel and the more likely suspect should anyone hear of an incognito inquisitor
No. This is the Galactic Core, there is no hiding your identity here, there is no need. I need to hear from the person why they are traveling outside the Imperium's Borders and why they are with a Rogue Trader instead of organizing their own expedition. You can lie about who you are just as easily from your own ship as the Rogue Traders.
 
Fair enough but that doesn't answer the second question of why the Rogue Trader is letting him come along. They tend to want Inquisitors as far away from them as possible. Why doesn't the Inquisitor get his own ship and crew?
If you have a chance check out the game inquisitor martyr, a rogue trader literally flies you to all your objectives.

Sounds like they didn't research Rogue Traders. They aren't the Inquisitions personal chauffeurs, they are the Emperors Word and Will made manifest.
 
You’re pretty dead set on not allowing this, why.
I'm not, I'm asking for a good reason why I should. Why your character chose this method and what their goal is in the Galactic Core. I may be a bit inclined towards not allowing it, but I will bend if you convince me.
 
the rouge trader could have asked them to come for their knowledge of xenos and how to fight them even if what is there is unknown some knowledge is better than no knowledge

But why would the Inquisitor go along?

Well I like the idea roleplaying as a Crusader turned inquisitor, they get access to all kinds of imperium tech, resources, information that could prove valuable to anyone on board a rogue traders vessel. If you’re questioning why you should allow it, especially a radical who has his own opinions about Xenos and not seeing them as something to completely eradicate, then that’s really up to you. You were quick to be ok with a necron.

because they want to it is a good cause

you seem to have this idea that inquistors never work with anyone ever and only travel in their own stuff using only their own people

Ok fair enough, Karcen has convinced me that it might be ok to let you play an Inquisitor, but I'm still super annoyed that you didn't answer any of my questions about your characters goals or motivations, why they chose to accompany a Rogue Trader instead of going on their own, and also how if you were a Crusader at one point it's hard to justify why you aren't all "Kill All Xenos! Kill it with Fire!" Unless you mean that you are an Inquisitor who uses a Power Sword and a Shield and you thought the Crusader Models looked cool, which is not the same thing at all.

A lot of crusaders join the inquisition. Either in the Ordos Xenos or even the Ordos Malleus. Many serve the lords of the inquisition and many more become acolytes to later be inquisitors, as for why? Why not. I don’t think that far ahead, but I am very adaptive in Rp so it shouldn’t be hard for me to make it work. His motivation I suppose could be to learn more about Xenos to better allow the imperium to defend itself. Even if it means using Xenos tech or working along side then.

Yes, you are correct. Crusaders frequently join the Inquisition and they are almost always Puritans, the polar opposite of Radicals.
 
most radicals start as puritans eisenhorn is a good example sometimes you see enough stuff your ideals change to if it works it works

Given enough time a river can erode and weather even the most roughest and rigid of stone, the same could be said for a Crusader. Given enough time their views can change.
 
But if you’re not ok with the inquisitor Crusader then I can also use my back up character who is an enginseer

I think that would be best, I guess I probably should have explained better, I was kind of anxious because it gives a lot of authority to a player and I sought to avoid a situation like that by playing the Rogue Trader myself. Also because I don't see Cornelius Quinn Rafferty Von Ponsonby being the type to play nice with others.

I’m a very relaxed Rper who doesn’t make it a point to high jack another persons roleplay. Yes he’s have authority lore wise but he wouldn’t exercise it on a ship that isn’t his, with a crew that doesn’t follow him. Not all crusaders are crazy power hungry zealots.
 
technically a rouge trader would be equal to or over an inquistor on his ship as the emperor himself gave them such freedom

Fair enough I guess, just be sure to flesh out the character and (very important in my mind) explain what they are doing or trying to do in the galactic core, and why they are hitching a ride with Von Ponsonby.
 
My character has a really good reason to be going to the Galactic Core and it's something that will
SHAKE THE IMPERIUM TO IT'S VERY CORE!!!™

A question: Are we using any specific sourcebooks and/or setting differences, i.e. true outcome of the Horus Heresy, current state of war with Eldar/Aeldari, Orks, Necrons/Necrontyr, Tau (if already encountered)?
