Inquisitor: Banishment Inquisition Question on Righteous Awe

[Yure]

"Righteous Awe (Su): Whenever you make an unarmed touch attack against an evil creature, it must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your inquisitor level + your Wisdom modifier) or become shaken for 1d4 rounds. If the creature touched is an evil outsider, it becomes frightened instead of shaken. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier."

Is this its own attack or would an inquisitor have to make a separate type of touch attack with some other spell or ability in order to activate this?

It's not written well but I think it's its own attack

I know right! I am assuming it is also a standard action?

[MrCharisma]

I think Supernatural Abilities are a Standard Action unless otherwise specified, but right now I can't find the text for that, so I could be misremembering it.

You remember correctly, it's on page 186 of the core rulebook (I too can't find it online currently).

Supernatural Abilities (Su): Using a supernatural ability is usually a standard action (unless defined otherwise by the ability’s description). Its use cannot be disrupted, does not require concentration, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
