[Torg] Speaking of Insane Modifiers... GodBeam.

[Steve Crow]

A Prowess miracle (cast by someone else, if not the Inquisitor himself) would accomplish about the same thing, without the vow requirements of Blessing Vow.

It doesn't sound like anyone else in your group has a lot of firepower, so anyone with a high-tech weapon is going to do better...

There is of course nothing to keep the bad guys from recognizing who the most dangerous threat among the PCs is and target him. In a Dramatic Encounter, with a bit of GM Fiat tossed in, the result can be pretty painful for the Inquisitor. "What do you mean, four of them go first and have Up rolls?!?"

The only problem with this is the escalation factor (re: "The Untouchables" movie), and the fact the Inquisitor player may feel picked upon.
