The Inquisition is still above the law though, right?
always dangerous to say it like that. If Albareth attacks the Queen just like that it would have consequences too. I would say, for higher inquisitors, breaking some of the laws is tolerated as long as they have reasons ;-)

Good
Can I still claim prisoners of arcturus?
And draw my weapons even though I'm not a guard but a member of counselling?

Only in relation to their service to the Inquisition. (Catching Heretics, nothing else.)
That doesn't say anything about Royal favours, though~

No and no... Yet.

Crown this Crown that! :p I will simply commit these crimes for the sake of committing them~! ;)
I want to break the rules; but the character that'd do that is on a trip until the event... :(
I've broken almost all of these already....
You guys are adorable. Can't wait for the Royal Architect to work on a stockades and Asylum myes.

What do you mean? Arcturus has the royal support to do whatever it wants...
Gee, I never saw an announcement saying that. :D
