It seems like a number of references to how the Inquisitor's Judgment worked in the Beta (increasing each round to a cap) got left in, whereas now the Judgment is just a static number. Any idea how the following abilities should work now? If you happen to spot others, feel free to chime in.
Slayer (Class Ability): The Inquisitor gets this at 17th level, but it's sole benefit is to gain them the max benefit from one judgment at first round instead of later. Which is what they get now. So... this does nothing. :)
Flames of the Faithful (Spell): This spell changes its effect from Flaming to Flaming Burst if your judgment is at max, which it always should be.
Jurist (Weapon Enhancement): This is based off of a resetting judgment and a max bonus, so I'm not sure how it should work now.
If you find any others, post them here! Hopefully Jason will tell us what these should do instead. :)

Yeah, this one slipped by me I am afraid, but worry not for a fix has already been devised. Since things are starting to go out now, there is no point in keeping it a secret (although it will still be collected in a simple update document).
Here are the fixes.
Page 41: In the Slayer class feature, change the text to read as follows.
Slayer (Ex): At 17th level, an inquisitor learns to focus her judgment. Whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, she must select one type of judgment. She is treated as if she were 5 levels higher for the purposes of determining the bonus granted by this judgment. Unlike other types of judgment, the one enhanced by this ability cannot be changed for the remainder of the judgment.
Page 41: In the True Judgement class feature, delete the sixth sentence.
Page 222: In the Flames of the Faithful spell, change the second sentence of the description to read as follows.
If you are using the judgement class feature, your weapon gains the flaming burst property instead.
Page 288: In the Jurist special weapon ability, in the first paragraph, delete the last sentence.

I don't have my download available yet, but I'm guessing from this that the bonus is not capped at level 20? Supposing you could advance to 21st level and more as Inquisitor, the bonus would continue to increase? Because otherwise this ability seems to just lt you choose between having a 20th level bonus you can't change or a 17th level bonus you can.

The bonuses are not capped at 20th like some others are.

This means you can fire your death shot every round with no limit except the once per target per day one. Are you worried about that being too good? You did have a limiter on it before, making it so you could only fire it once every 3 rounds.

I'm assuming this is intended to have a limit; the number of judgments/day.
However; judgments are effects that affect the inquisitor herself, for the duration of a whole combat. They aren't called out against a specific foe, like paladins' smites and cavaliers' challenges.
If so, it should presumably have a cap of being used once/judgment?
