I'm a bit unclear on the Inquisitor's exploit weakness ability. Do all applications of it apply only when scoring a critical hit, or is that only for the DR and regeneration parts of the ability, with the energy vulnerability part not requiring a crit?
(Sorry if this has already been asked. I tried looking for the answer myself first, but I'm on mobile and it's a bit awkward to search for anything.)
At 14th level, the inquisitor learns to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Whenever the inquisitor scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have. In addition, if the target has regeneration, the creature loses regeneration on the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round. Creatures whose regeneration always functions are immune to this ability. Finally, if the inquisitor deals energy damage to a creature with vulnerability to that energy type, she deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.
Let's see...
On ignoring DR...
Whenever the inquisitor scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have.
So that only works on a crit;
On regeneration...
In addition, if the target has regeneration, the creature loses regeneration on the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round. Creatures whose regeneration always functions are immune to this ability.
Emphasis mine...needs a crit;
And finally the extra energy damage...
Finally, if the inquisitor deals energy damage to a creature with vulnerability to that energy type, she deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.
No mention of a critical hit required. I'd say no crit required.
Hope this helps.
I think the energy damage is from the crit.
On a crit if x do X. In addition if y do Y. Finally, if z do Z.
I see it as taking the if .. do .. all as being able to finish off the "Whenever the inquisitor scores a critical hit" line
