Smite is a special attack available to Paladins, which they gain around 18th circle. It gives them the power to draw upon the insights of their patron Chadatru and deliver a devastating attack known as a SMITE upon their foes. It can be used with edges, blunts, staves, pikes and halberds, taking the weapon's highest stat into account and making the appropriate attack maneuver for the weapon (slice for slice, bash from impact, and thrust for puncture). The attack causes the weapon to function as a blessed weapon and also grants a strength bonus.
