Does a Paladin's Smite Evil and Inquisitor's Judgments stack?


Rules Questions


If a Paladin granted his smite evil to allies within 10' (Aura of Justice) and one of the allies was an Inquisitor with Sacred Destruction and Sacred Justice already running, do the effects stack?

I cannot find anything that says a Smite Evil bonus is also a Sacred Bonus.


i don't see why they wouldn't they are not sharing anything damage type bonus or sources... why do you ask?


Yes they stack.

Paladin Smite is an untyped bonus, so it'll stack with anything except itself.

Just to expand, the smite evil of two paladins don't stack, so if one of the paladins has already one smite evil running and another paladin use Aura of Justice, if the first paladin chooses the same target again, the two effects don't stack, but they overlap, so the paladin will get the largest charisma bonus to attack and the highest level for the damage.


I was actually going to ask about that, so thanks =)


Facing this in a game soon, so thanks for the clarity! I'm allowing it to stack. Dang, this Inquisitor is gonna dish it out!
