→The path of the Radical is rarely one set upon with
deliberate intent. Rather, the terrors that Inquisitors
witness over the course of their duties may lead them to
make certain choices, responding to the needs of the moment.
Little by little, step-by-step, an Inquisitor’s methods and
outlook might change. Perhaps a minor, doctrinal compromise
is made, the letter of the law interpreted by supposed intent,
a course of action undertaken, a forbidden text consulted, the
babblings of a condemned criminal heeded. Before they are
even aware of the path they are walking, some Inquisitors are
shunned by previously loyal fellows, whispered of in sealed
chambers, and ultimately, branded Radical.

own preferred methodology.

→Chapter II: Falling From Grace

advances.

→What ’s in this book?
The Radical’s Handbook is a sourcebook for both Game
Masters and players, containing a broad range of new player
character options, including new origins, alternate career
ranks, and other interesting ways to expand the available
choices. The focus of this book is the Radical’s path, where
salvation demands sacrifice; and often, the first thing an
Acolyte gives up is his conviction in the Imperial creed.
Weapons from bizarre alien species, items crafted using the
daemonic power of the warp, and heretical teachings all lie
between these covers. You have been warned! Only the bold
should continue, for the path of the Radical leads deeper into
the darkness...all the better to fight against it, of course.

→Agents of the Inquisition must go to great lengths to defend
the Imperium from the many foes that threaten it. Over time,
it becomes easier and easier for an Acolyte to justify using
questionable means to accomplish the daunting tasks before
him. Eventually, that road leads either to outright heresy—
or the path of the Radical. Radicals are those agents of the
Golden Throne who turn to methods, tools, and ideologies
forbidden by the Imperial creed, choosing instead to turn
the darkness against itself. This proves to be a slippery slope
indeed, and thus Radicals tread where many others fear to
follow, imperiling their very souls in the quest to find salvation
for a million worlds.
