We realized very early on that frankly the paladin was too powerful & that excess of power was largely because of how open ended the use of divine smite was. When we originally designed divine smite it was under the hood basically a spell. You're spending a spell slot on it & it was sort of our idea of what if there was just a really simple spell option for the paladin who just wants to kick the @#$# out of things . In the process we kind of outwitted ourselves by making this spell not a spell . That then planted the seed of now the paladin who has multiple attacks is smiting on every single on of the attacks</a>"We won't know what borked mixnmatch combos exist until we've had the new book for long enough to have those combos uncovered and shared around but we can be very sure that there will probably be some even if they are borked combos that come about as new splatbooks are released.</blockquote>
