Here's my duel with a barb... I'm a little higher circle, but our 2he is close, i have more shield, he has more parry... Anyway... smite is nice....

Raagnar asks, "ready?"

You nod.

[You're solidly balanced with no advantage.]
[Roundtime 1 sec.]

* Timing it well, Raagnar steps backward and then slices at you. You block with a warrior's tower shield.
[You're solidly balanced and opponent has slight advantage.]
>draw raag
< With strength, you step backward and then slice at Raagnar. Raagnar partially blocks with a crocodile-skin buckler. The sword lands a solid hit to Raagnar's left arm.

< Moving strongly, you sweep a bastard sword at Raagnar. Raagnar barely blocks with a crocodile-skin buckler. The sword lands an extremely heavy hit that etches a light cut into the right side of the chest, lightly stunning him.
[You're winded, nimbly balanced and in dominating position.]
[Roundtime 6 sec.]
R>
* Raagnar slices a bastard sword at you. You block with a warrior's tower shield.
[You're nimbly balanced and in superior position.]

>smite raag

You chant a brief litany and draw back with a divinely inspired strike!
< Moving fluidly, you slice a bastard sword at Raagnar. Raagnar barely blocks with a crocodile-skin buckler. The sword lands an annihilating strike (Urrem'tier would be proud!) that cleaves the foe clean through from collarbone to hips.
[You're nimbly balanced and in dominating position.]
[Roundtime 6 sec.]
R>
As Raagnar slumps unconscious, you back off. The challenge is satisfied!

His parry is higher but he's blocking with shield? :P Nice win all the same. Smite definitely is nice.

Smite is awesome. But, the real kill came with your slice after his sweep. Once you had him stunned, the smite was the icing.

Just an update... After receiving said smitage, he re-rolled as a paladin.

Now that's a way to get new recruits! Nice smiting too.

A little off topic, but I believe that the spells section of the site says smite is not supposed be used on the "eleven races" meaning humans, elves, rakash, prydaen, togs, etc. and therefore any player.

Should that bit of the site be updated, since it's pretty obvious from that post that smite is useable (and pretty effective, by the looks of it)?

Your confusing "SMITE" the ability, with "SMITE FOE" the spell.

Accually both abilities can be used against the races and thats a good thing.

Thanks for clearing that up, the site can be very confusing... not to mention Paladins having two abilities with the same name, heh. Almost makes me want to roll a paladin, 'cause smiting people just sounds fun.
