Paladins N Clerics Holy Smite Batman

First Post
Acutally, take a Chaotic Evil Character

Give him levels of Blackguard so he can Smite Good, give him levels of Cleric with the Destruction Domain. Give him "Extra Smiting." WHen can all this apply?

If he gets Extra Smiting, to which smite does this apply to?

Smiting as a Cleric, can he smite anything? Or only opposite his Alignment? Its not labeled "Smite (alignment) for the Destruction Domain, its just Smite.

If they aren't the same smite, can they stack? IE Can he smite with his Cleric Domain and Smite as a Blackguard with the same hit? (Adding +4 to attack, +Cha to attack, +Cleric Levels to Dmg, +blackguard levels to damage)

Can anyone help on rulings of this? (My character is disgustingly multi-classed)

Thanks!

I've always read Extra Smiting to mean that you get one extra smite of your choice. Since there are so few smites available as a class ability, I don't see this as too much of a problem.

As for the Smite ability of the Destruction domain, I would think it's universal. Afterall, it IS the Destruction domain. :D
 

From what i understand you can use both at the same time, adding both the smite good and (I believe it's smite infidel) together, however the enemy would have to meet the criteria for both smites, as for the extra smite, as i understand it they are considered two different abilities usuable by your character, and you would choose to which the feat would apply.

He applies the Extra Smiting to whichever one he chooses.

Smiting as a cleric he can smite anything. Alignment is imaterial here.

As separate abilities, they should be able to stack. The target will need to be Good for both to apply.
