Honor in All Things order power - declare before of after roll?

Honor in All Things wrote:
At 2nd level, the order of the warrior samurai draws strength from his sense of honor. Whenever the samurai makes a skill check or saving throw, he can call upon his honor as a free action to grant him a +4 morale bonus on the roll. He can use this ability once per day at 2nd level, plus one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 2nd (maximum of five times per day at 18th level).

Does this power have to be used before you make your roll or can you use it after the roll is made but before the outcome is determined?

The reason I ask is that it seems a little underpowered for a class feature if you have to declare before rolling. And maybe I'm just a bad judge of how powerful a class power should be.
