D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] smite chaos

[Particle_Man]

The Sapphire Hierarch has the smtie chaos ability and it says it stacks with smite chaos from other sources.

What other sources would there be? I don't think even inevitables get smite chaos.

The closest I could think of is if someone allowed a houserule to change smite evil to smite chaos for a class that gets smite evil normally.

The spell Iconic Manifestation grants you the Axiomatic template, which has a Smite Chaos ability, although that's a mid-level druid spell so it'd be unusual for a Sapphire Hierarch to be casting it. I guess some Axiomatic creatures (which naturally have a daily use of Smite Chaos) could end up as Sapphire Hierarchs somehow. Most likely the wording was just copied over from a class feature somewhere that granted Smite Evil, and the wording doesn't really do any harm even if the likelyhood of it ever mattering is really low.

They're basically covering their butts for other stuff although there are a few places in the regular books to get Smite Chaos.

There are two paladin variants in Dragon Mag that get Smite Chaos: The LN Enforcer in Dragon 310 and the LE Despot in Dragon 312.
