Trying to get confirmation on something to settle a question that came up on the Hero Lab Pathfinder forums regarding this prestige class from the Children of the Void module of the Second Darkness AP (the Cayden Cailean writeup was by far my favorite of these little gods & deities write-ups in the APs, by the way - bravo). Anyways:
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a chevalier can smite evil as if he were a paladin of his character level.
Is this reference to character level intentional, or was that meant to be chevalier level? Since the prestige class tops out at level 3, I assumed the former, but there's some ambiguity based on spellcheckers and the similarity of the two words, etc.
When it means "character level", it means the total number of your levels. For example, you are 15th level Fighter, and you take these 3 levels Chevalier to get Smite Evil, then your total level (15+3=18), you add 18 points of damage to evil villains, and double your level against evil outsider, evil dragons, undead etc. It's overpowered, especially if you re a fighter of 17th level and then take the 3 levels of Chevalier. Immunity to poison, immunity to fear, recklessness, plus the Smite Evil, it's overpowered and awesome!
