Shield Marshal + Inquisitor judgement question.

[Genuine]

Apologies if this has been asked before, I can't find anything in search.

Inquisitors get the JUDGEMENT ability. Shield Marshalls get the LEGAL JUDGEMENT ability. Feats that apply to the inquisitor's judgement also apply to the marshal's judgement, but the levels in the two do not stack.

So here's the question - is it the same ability or not? A multiclassed inquisitor/marshal clearly doesn't get to add levels together when calculating judgements/day or the bonuses from a judgement. He can also clearly activate the inquisitor's judgement in one encounter, and the legal judgement in the next.

But can he activate both the different judgements in a single encounter? I assume that if he does he can't stack the same bonuses - no fast healing 2 (1+1), but if one does a sacred bonus to attack and the other a competence bonus, then they would.

Am I totally out of line? I feel like it's legal unless there's been a FAQ or clarification somewhere that I missed, and otherwise it's cheesy at worst. It is worth noting that Inquisitor and Shield Marshal aren't necessarily a great combo, so it's not like it's gonna be super strong either.

Relevant text:
From the Shield Marshal's text of LEGAL JUDGEMENT:

Quote:

This ability can be used once per day, plus once for every three levels beyond 1st. It is equivalent to an inquisitor's judgment ability for the purpose of feats, magic items, or other game effects that affect the judgment ability; however, levels in the two classes do not stack.

No answer. If I was glaringly wrong, I feel like someone would have told me so. I know I love ganging up on people who are wrong on the internet. I feel like it'd be the same if I was glaringly right. So I guess it's just rule 0 time.

Would you be referring to Grand Marshal? If so, I don't see anything that would prevent you from getting both bonuses. You would just need to use two separate swift actions to activate them (so barring any feats or special abilities, two subsequent rounds of combat.)

Um, yes. I mixed up the PrC with the lore-character type. And it won't let me edit it.

Shieldmarshal is the proper name for the prestige class (no need to edit, Michelle A.J. probably needed you to confirm if it's the same class with d20pfsrd's version of the name).

As Michelle said, two different swift actions to activate each judgement ability should be fine.
