Possible to add evil cleric to added damage for smite evil?

Evil clerics match the evilness per HD as outsider and even more evil then undead.

It seems that a lot of people think clerics are overpowered. The proposed vulnerability to paladins would help balance that.

Of course evil clerics are more likely to be NPCs, so it doesn't really add a weakness to the class for players unless there exists something like an anti-paladin. In that case, smite evil would add a bonus against evil clerics and neutral clerics who opt to channel negative energy, while smite good would add a bonus against good clerics and neutral clerics who opt to channel positive energy.

i agree
the aura and devotion of an evil dleric deman being smithed!

clerics already radiate evil / good as per their deity until they get to cast undetectable alignment

i do like this suggestion - especially if it applies to paladins / anti-paladins as well (could make for spectacular if quick combats..)

only concern is if this is used as a evil cleric detector.

"Alright men, line up the suspects and let the trainee knights take a swing at them. we'll heal and apologise to the cut ones and we'll burn at the stake any that go kaboom on the smite evil..."

Smack those clerics!

Make up for all those years when paladins could be turned/repulsed by them!

All those Pathfinder Society Clerics of Asmodeus who are LN, but radiate evil thanks to their poor taste in dieties are gonna get what's coming to them!

Smite 'em all, let Torag sort 'em out!

Why limit it to just clerics too, can't we just have the boosted damage be across the board, or better yet instead of dice, level x2 damage that way a crit smit seriously lays the smackdown.

Um if you don't mind never having paladins ever because they've all fallen for grossly violating their code of conduct.
