Can slayers brand be utilized in conjunction with a natural or unarmed attack.


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

The kinslayer gets slayers brand as a judgement replacement for the destruction judgment at 1st level. The inquisitor can then make a melee touch attack to damage undead for 1d6 +charisma modifier. This judgement unless changed stays in effect during the entirety of the combat. Per the spell touch attach rules, a touch attack is discharged when physical contact is made, and can be made in conjunction with an unarmed strike or natural attack. Does this mean that if the inquisitor is making unarmed or natural attacks, that this damage is then added to each strike?

Yes.

yup. magic or combat section has stuff on delivering it with an unarmed strike.
you're no longer rolling a touch attack though, you'd be rolling an attack vs. regular AC to get the unarmed strike damage + the spell off.

not 100% about natural attack. but i wouldn't look too crazy at it as a gm.

It's pretty clear that natural attacks involve touching someone. They'd discharge touch attacks too. But yes, remember that it's no longer against touch AC - it's against normal AC now.
