I know this maybe making excuses for what maybe a balance issue, but if you were going around burning people it stands to reason you maybe a little more paranoid about someone wanting you dead than if you were wandering about looking for stuff to sell.

Agreed the inquisitors could do with a little nerfing, (which has been discussed at length in other threads), but I don't think it shouldn't be related to assassination success, as that would mean a dash to get an army of 10 star killers that could knock them off as soon as they appeared anywhere.

As the inquisitors stand now they seem to have two effects, annoy people, & scare them into running for the nearest boat, the former is because its a game & it IS annoying, the latter is quite funny as it would be exactly the kind of thing someone likely to be burnt at the stake would do.
