The new inquisitor class is great, I can't wait to play one, I only have two questions on some of its abilities however.
The first concerns judgments. Does a judgment have to be given at the start of the combat, or can it be done prematurely? An example to illustrate.
Some orcs walk into a room, in which the Inquisitor is waiting invisibly in an ambush position. Unbeknown to the hapless orcs, when they enter the room the Inquisitor uses a swift action to pronounce judgement on them. May he then wait 12 seconds before initiating his surprise round, so that he can enter combat with full judgement in effect?
The second question concerns exploit weakness.
Exploit Weakness:
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 (if the creature’s regeneration can be bypassed). 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.
What creatures regeneration could not be bypassed? Could this ability kill a Tarrasque? Perhaps everything, except a Tarrasque? I'm hoping for a clearer idea of the limits of this ability.

I'm pretty sure this isn't an option, since the judgement only increases in power when the Inquisitor participates in combat, it resets when he is prevented from doing so.

Agreed. The best he can do in this situation is use the swift action in the surprise round (I think that's allowed) and get his +2 in the first full round of combat.
