Do inquisitors count as clerics vs. smite good?


Rules Questions


Specifically, does an antipaladin smiting a lawful good inquisitor get the double damage bonus for the first round?

They do not have "aura" so my thoughts are no.

No. It only applies to clerics and paladins. It doesn't affect any other class even if they have an "aura" class feature. Of course, most GMs will houserule that a good warpriest will take the extra damage too, but the ability doesn't care about an aura, it cares about the specific class cleric or paladin, and that's all.


Thanks- I guess that makes sense, since otherwise bards and rangers might count too for casting divine spells.


Bards are Arcane casters though.
