judgement inquisitor

[gorash83]

hi guys,i have a question about judgement:
Do i have +2 at the third level with the judgment distruction?
Thanks everyone

Yes.

Destruction increases for every 3 levels you have, so if you have 3 levels it increases to +2, then +3 at level 6, etc.

Note the alternative: increases for every 3 levels above first, which would mean +2 at level 4, +3 at level 7, etc.

Why? Does exist an alternative? I think + 2 at the third level, my dungeon master think + 2 at level 4. What's the official rule?

The rule is +2 at third. Weirdo was showing that with the current wording you get +2 at third. The official word is +2 at third level.

Some abilities like channel energy say

"The amount of damage dealt or healed is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two cleric levels beyond 1st"

This means you get the second channel die at lv3 since it says after first. Since judgment doesn't have that wording it's first bonus is lv3.

Yes, Chess Pwn is correct.

The "alternative" I mentioned was not an alternative for how the judgment works. It's the alternative wording that the ability would have used if you got +2 at level 4. The ability does not use that wording, so you get +2 at level 3.

Sorry if that caused some confusion. I personally find it helpful to look at alternative wordings when making sure the rules mean what I think they mean.
