Conductive ranged weapons and inquisitors judgements

[JoCa]

Can conductive weapons be used with judgments as they are always "on"?

[JoCa]

I really am looking for this with the kinsalyer's brand judgment. If that makes a difference. It is a melee touch attack and thus falls under the conductive sphere of ability. Just not sure if it would work because in the conductive text is mentions using up multiple uses to do it once, but as brand is active throughout a combat (as long as the inquisitor doesn't shift to a different judgment) I think it should work.

what are you even asking about here?
Judgments aren't always on, nor do the have anything to put into a conductive weapon.

The kinslayer archetype for a dhamphir has a judgment called brand that replaces the destruction judgment. At 1st level, a kinslayer gains the following judgment.

Slayer's Brand (Su)When using this judgment, the kinslayer gains the ability to brand undead creatures with positive energy. To do so, she must make a successful melee touch attack against the undead creature. This attack deals an amount of positive energy damage equal to 1d6 + the kinslayer's Charisma score, and burns her personal symbol into the undead creature's flesh, bone, or even its incorporeal form. From that point onward, the kinslayer can sense the existence of the branded creature as if it were the target of a locate creature spell (caster level equal to 1/2 the kinslayer's inquisitor level). A slayer's brand lasts until the undead creature is destroyed or until the kinslayer uses this ability on another creature. This ability replaces the destruction judgment.

So, when said judgment is active, it would be active until the combat is over. So, could it be used with a conductive weapon?

(If the wielder has unlimited uses of a special ability, she may channel through the weapon every round.)
Yeah, It sounds good to go.

[JoCa]

So let me ask this. Could the inquisitor get an additional 1d6+ Charisma bonus every time it lands a hit with the bow while the judgment is active? And if so, if said player takes the holy brand greater brand, does the weapon also do 1d6 + Charisma damage to creatures with the evil subtype?

Conductive only works with SLAs that use a melee or ranged touch attack - how many judgments use these?

[Chess Pwn]

A conductive weapon is able to channel the energy of a spell-like or supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack to hit its target

Slayer's Brand (Su)When using this judgment, the kinslayer gains the ability to brand undead creatures with positive energy. To do so, she must make a successful melee touch attack against the undead creature. This attack deals an amount of positive energy damage equal to 1d6 + the kinslayer's Charisma score, and burns her personal symbol into the undead creature's flesh, bone, or even its incorporeal form. From that point onward, the kinslayer can sense the existence of the branded creature as if it were the target of a locate creature spell (caster level equal to 1/2 the kinslayer's inquisitor level). A slayer's brand lasts until the undead creature is destroyed or until the kinslayer uses this ability on another creature. This ability replaces the destruction judgment.

This weapon special ability can only be used once per round, and only works with magical abilities of the same type as the weapon (melee or ranged).

so once per round and it'd have to be with a melee weapon.

[JoCa]

Conductive is a ranged quality. But once per round, you could do this as long as the brand judgment was active?

[JoCa]

Never mind. I see it. So the player would also have to take branding ray.
