Thanks for your answers! 1: Yes and yes. Whilst Dominated you can take any standard action which you can do at-will.
Probably a mute discussion, but if I wanted to hit myself over the head with my mace, do I really need to overcome my own defenses to do so? But that would probably best be houseruled if the need and the reasoning arrises.

Yup.
Note that attacking yourself or allies isn't always a cheesy or expolitative move, sometimes it's forced by someone else (like dominate) and sometimes you're doing it intentionally for other reasons (like casting Fireball that will hit yourself and/or your friends).
Attacking friendlies works exactly the same as attacking anyone else.

I am wondering if there is any information on inherent bonuses and extra damage when critical hits occur? Also the Item Feral Armor gives the player a magic weapon but does not list any critical value. is there any inherent benefit to critical hits when the character has an enhancement bonus if there is nothing listed on an item?
Yeah, in the DSCS update, it is +1d6 per increase, and yes, it applies to all hits.
Is there anywhere in the compendium/an online source I can find that will clarify this?
Looking in the compendium I couldn't find any rules which state that a weapon with an enhancement bonus gets an automatic +1d6/plus critical damage bonus...

Compendium is a reference, not a replacement for the rulebooks.

I assume by your most helpful post, Mand12, that you are clarifying for me that this rule is not present in the Compendium reference materials at all.
Which actual rulebooks list such a rule, and where? Between my group we have most of the rulebooks.
(Is it just DSCS? I don't know if anyone has that...)
BTW: I should clarify that we are playing a normal campaign, lots of magic items. So I'm not talking about character bonuses where you automatically get crit dice--we don't do that.
I'm really just seeking clarification on this claw attack: under normal rules (say, LFR, just as a point of reference), would the claw attack deal bonus damage on a crit, or would it get no crit dice?

"Moot", not "mute" - but yes. You do have to roll to hit yourself.

An INHERENT BONUS gives +1d6/plus critical damage bonus.
Magical weapons get whatever their critical box says. It's the Inherent Bonuses that gives bonus crit damage, as per DSCS.
If you're not using inherent bonuses, then your nonmagical claws are not magical, get no Enhancement bonus, and get no bonus crit damage. If you're using Inherent Bonuses, then your nonmagical claws are actually magical claws, get an Enhancement bonus based on your level, and get bonus crit damage based on that enhancement bonus.

To clarify: The claw attack from Feral Armor is not magical. It does get an enhancement bonus due to the armor's property, but is not a magic weapon by itself. As the armor property does not give it a crit bonus with the enhancement bonus, then no, it does not do anything special for a scoring a crit.

What's the most current argument for why a hybrid blackguard would get selection access to any paladin at-will? And specifically, what line of reasoning is used to refute claims that the hybrid blackguard only gets the at-will due from their vice feature?
