So I was running a side session for a character today, and I ran into the quandry of whether or not a player can switch their Judgment while raging, and wanted the sage wisdom of these forums.
To start, the player is playing a natural Werebear Lychanthrope Inquisitor, who primarily wields a large Berserking Sword and hunts down monsters. The character worships Gorum and actively seeks battle out. However at the same time she's ashamed of her shapeshifting and only really uses the sword as her weapon when she can transform(otherwise we're flavoring it as her divine focus in human form, which given the god sounds on the up and up).
The problem came up when she found herself some 20 zombies to deal with and she, a level 3 Inquisitor, changed to hybrid form and whipped out the sword, activated her damage judgement and went to work. After some truely terrible rolls for her, 5+ rounds of just nat 1's and another 3 rounds of poor-ish rolls while I rolled several crits that confirmed(since otherwise the zeds couldn't even hurt her do to dr), she took enough damage to get knocked out and will now be taken captive by the Vampire BBEG who's commanding these things.
However, the question is, can she change her judgement while raging? If she had changed it to fast healing there was a good chance she could have avoided getting knocked out, but I felt that at the time it wasn't something that she could on account of the raging since I thought it was a (Sp) or at least required concentration/patience. Since it was a questionable call, I at least forgoed the check for her to stabilize when she was pushed to negs so I don't feel bad, we're just checking for future games.

Huh... this is a good question, and it's relevant to me, as I have an Inquisitor of Ragathiel with the Rage Subdomain.

I mean it's pretty clear it works if you activate it between rages, but during is a little iffy. More so with this character since it's a cursed weapon...

Yeah, I'd say it's not something you can do, but I can't seem to find anything that specifies either way.

Judgement is a supernatural ability, and does not require concentration.
It can be used, activated, or switched during Rage.

This is true of all Supernatural abilities, like a Witch's Hex.

Raging bard = heavy metal?
It should be noted that - at least in a barbarian's rage - it is abilities that require patience or concentration that they cannot use.
Patience is not a game keyword, so it is totally up to the DM to rule on each case.
