I am also eagerly awaiting the release of a Mac client!

Is it sad that the only thing Im really looking to is seeing Goblin Squad member by my name on the forums?

Nope...

I've been waiting for the same thing... :-)

Tell your player to spend a few more years reading rule books and learning how to parse the language.

Unfortunately, I believe the years spent reading rules books and listening to others "lawyer" these kinds of things have done their damage in this case. Thanks to one and all for the suggestions!

I'm so tired I completely forgot about Aura of Justice! Thanks for the heads up!

In a play session tonight, I had a player who is playing a Paladin insist that *all* damage to the target of a smite evil would receive the damage bonus that his Paladin would have applied due to this description from the rules:

"If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite."

Bold added by me. This is directly from the book. I informed him that the intent was for the damage of all attacks from the Paladin, but he insists that the phrase "all damage rolls" means that any other player character who does damage would also get to add the effects of the smite. I, of course, think this is ridiculous, but would rather not use the "It's that way because I told you that's the way it works" ruling...

I've seen other wording for the smite evil ability, but can't confirm that it's Paizo backed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Matt
