Holy Warrior Smite
Description of the Holy Warrior Smite Ability
Some custom Holy Warriors receive the ability to "Smite" a particular Alignment. For example, Champions and Avengers receive the Smite Evil ability at Level 4.
As opposed to working the same way as a Paladin's Smite Evil, Holy Warriors instead receive bonus positive/negative energy damage vs. evil/good/law/chaos, depending on the Holy Warrior class, to their main-hand weapon for a number of rounds equal to their charisma modifier. The weapon is also given a temporary enchantment bonus vs. evil equal to the Holy Warriors's charisma modifier.
As a Holy Warrior progresses through levels, this damage gradually increases:
- Level 1-4: 1d4
- Level 5-8: 1d6
- Level 9-12: 2d4
- Level 13-16: 2d6
- Level 17-20: 2d8
- Level 21-24: 2d10
- Level 25+: 2d12
Uses per day may be increased by taking the Extra Smiting feat; however Great Smiting will not increase or affect a Holy Warrior's Smite ability.
