So I was debating with my GM about the applicability of the powerful justice ability (Oath of Vengeance paladin.)
Powerful Justice:
“At 11th level, an oathbound paladin may spends one use of her smite evil ability to grant her allies within 10 feet the ability to smite evil, except they only gain the paladin’s bonus to damage, not her smite’s attack bonusor ability to bypass DR.
This ability replaces aura of justice.”
Aura of Justice:
“At 11th level, a paladin can expend two uses of her smite evil ability to grant the ability to smite evil to all allies within 10 feet, using her bonuses. Allies must use this smite evil ability by the start of the paladin's next turn and the bonuses last for 1 minute. Using this ability is a free action. Evil creatures gain no benefit from this ability.”
My GM states this works just like Aura of Justice in that players “must use this smite evil ability by the start of the paladin's next turn and the bonuses last for 1 minute.”
Is this just assumed that the same rules from aura of justice apply to powerful justice? I know that the AC bonus was debated, but I haven't seen a clarification to this part.
