Inquisitor Judgements and the Anger Inquisition

[Torbyne]

Can a raging Inquisitor, such as one with the Anger Inquisition, still use Judgements or switch Judgements that are already in effect from before raging?

[EvilPaladin]

Why couldn't they? Its an action that 1:Fits rage[you are singling out a single person to destroy quicker, similar to getting mad at them], 2:Takes around a half-second to perform[swift action], and 3:Isn't a skill check based off of Int/Cha/Dex, nor one that takes patience or concentration[see point 2].

[Rudy2]

The argument could be made that it takes concentration to change a judgment; I don't think there is a clear RAW statement either way.

I would certainly let you do it as a GM, though.

[Torbyne]

Yeah, I thought It'd work at first but reading over rage, I wasn't sure about the patience or concentration part. Too bad about casting while raging, thematically Blistering Invective is perfect while raging but rules wise not so much.

[Torbyne]

Looking further down the line I can see another similar situation: can a magus (a multi charge spell magus for this example) cast a spell, accept a Skald's song and then spend arcane pool points to further augment their attack?

[Tabletop Prophet]

Torbyne: No. You either accept or deny the Skald's rage as a free action at the beginning of your turn.

[Torbyne]

Right, I wasn't the clearest on my hypothetical, it would be better to say, "if you accept a Skald's rage bonuses does the prohibit spending arcane pool points?" Under the same concern that spending arcane points or using a judgement sounds like something that would require patience or concentration but those aren't well defined concepts in the rules.

[EvilPaladin]

I think that any ability that takes less then a second to use is not something that you need patience and concentration to use, personally. While I don't allow spellcasting while raging[it has a concentration mechanic], most actions that take less than one round I'll allow because focusing on something for less than 6 seconds doesn't require much patience and concentration IMO. Of course, this isn't well defined by the rules, so will vary wildly between GMs. I had a GM say that Canny Defense couldn't be used while raging, one say that you couldn't fight defensively, and then one say that you could cast spells, even ones with 3-round casting time while raging [different characters, none were mine].
