Had not noticed annihilating or demolishing strikes before, ussual crit strikes were massive, devestating and apocoliptic. Very nice.
Side note, smite seems to be fine to use anywhere in a combat sequence except after feint, your get a solid balance loss if used after feint.

Ok.. someone clue me in. I'm obviously doing something wrong when trying to use smite.
As I understand it.. I'm fighting.. feint/draw.. smite (no spell prepping) and I should slice with a boost.
I'm not getting that.. and when I concentrate to see the power..I see I haven't used my smite ability at all.
Is there some trick to this I'm missing?

...there's no spell involved.
The command is SMITE.
And put in a sweep before the smite. Since smite is a super-holy-infused-slice, you need to just replace the slices with smites.

Don't forget the critter name Redarch, SMITE RAIDER or whatnot

You chant a brief litany and draw back with a divinely inspired strike!
< Moving like a striking snake, you slice a broadsword at a red bear orc raider. A red bear orc raider fails to parry with a rusty steel broadsword. The broadsword lands an apocalyptic strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) that slices through the neck and sends the raider's head flying through the air.
The orc raider looks down with a faintly surprised expression before collapsing upon the ground.

This one is titled: Hey Vern! Check This Out!
You ask, "Wanna see if I can harm you with a min prep SF?"
Sanlin says, "No."
Sanlin says, "I know the answer to that."
Sanlin says, "And you do too."
Sanlin walks over and punches you in the knees!
You say, "Yes, but you don't know how violently."
Sanlin says, "Good point."
Sanlin steps up to you and says, "I challenge you to The Pain in a contest of skill!"
Sanlin says, "Min prep me."
Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
That won't affect your current attunement very much.
You briskly utter a few sharp words in an arcane tongue, your mind bent to the task of preparing the Smite Foe spell.
You accept Sanlin's challenge.
You gesture at Sanlin.
You feel a twinge in your soul, but since you are in a challenge you have been pardoned.
A brilliant stream of pure white light jumps from you to Sanlin, warping into a hammer-shaped force that slams into him!
It lands an apocalyptic strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) against his chest!
As the hammer-shaped light silently explodes, you could swear you hear a voice whisper the word "Justice".
Roundtime: 2 seconds.
As Sanlin slumps unconscious, you back off. The challenge is satisfied!
...he then told me he had 23 stamina. D'oh.

>>Aside from the stat difference, which explains the apoc (wince) .. did you have any other spells up?
>>I've made a habit of keeping DiG up, but I'd bet Courage would help a SvS spell like SF alot.
Intelligence doesn't help for SvS spells. But, Discipline does. So work that Marshal Order!
Courage also makes it very sexy. Yes.
Let's also recall the fact that now with Smite Foe taking armor impact protection into account, it ALSO damages armor.
What we have here, boys and girls, is the Paladin version of Lightning Bolt/Burn/Etc.

Dig helps with preps, plus other non-magic stuff, so I find it very useful. I'd love MO, but one needs to be 50th to enjoy the marshalness :)
>What we have here, boys and girls, is the Paladin version of Lightning Bolt/Burn/Etc.
Historical that Paladins have an offensive spell unencumbered by Lanival's Compact, and well appreciated for that .. I haven't had opportunity to determine how effective it can be. But I'm trying, dammit! Heheh.

Very effective.
This actually gives me a solid reason to want to keep training magic. Maybe now I'll eventually hit 400!
