[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 2293220, member: 3146"] I meant that smite damage doesn't increase with Knight of the Chalice levels. It certainly multiplies on critical hits. A single-class paladin or paladin/templar who takes extra smiting gets 10 points of damage at 10th level, and 20 points of damage per smite at 20th level. A paladin 10/knight of the chalice 10 who takes extra smiting gets 10 points of damage at 10th level (pal 10) and 10 points of damage at 20th level. So, extra smiting is clearly a much better ability for a single classed paladin than for a paladin who's diluted his smiting ability. If I recall my analysis, the difference between a knight of the chalice character's smite ability and a single-classed paladin's smite was enough to mostly eliminate the advantage of a scimitar over a longsword. Similarly, Demonslaying applies to every attack and thus benefits two weapon fighting characters more than one-weapon characters. [/QUOTE]
