A cursed enemy is more vulnerable toyour attacks. If you damage a cursed enemy, you dealextra damage. You decide whether to apply the extradamage after making the damage roll. You can dealthis extra damage once per round.You can use the curse's extra damage on that hellish rebuke trigger -if- you've not used it already this round.  So, if you chose not to use it on the original blast of hellish rebuke, you can use it on the secondary trigger.That said, if you crit a monster, and your intent is to damage it moar... then saving your curse damage for later damage over the max'd critical hit is probably fail.  You got the opportunity to max its damage, USE the opportunity.  (There are times you'd save it, but they are narrow and rare)</blockquote>
