what affects Smite power?

Riplakish

I figure strength but does good/evil alignment play a role? what about other factors?

Or what about amount of skill in that ability?

I have similar questions for most of the class bashing skills. If anyone has answers or knows a good resource for what impacts the different classes hunting attack(traits, skill level etc) I would love to know.

Alignment-based damage got taken out a long time ago. Smite is Str, and I think maybe Devotion skill level. Having an artefact mace effects it too.

Off the top of my head:

Monk: Strength, Tekura stance+belt

Jester: Strength

Knights: Strength + skill in Weaponry + skill in Chivalry + weapon damage

Occultist: Intelligence

Apostate: Intelligence

Druids/Sentinels: Strength, animal morph (wyvern maul > cheetah scratch)

Magi: Intelligence

Sylvan: Strength but Intelligence effects Stormhammer

Serpent: Strength for whip garrote, level in Venoms for sumac/camus damage (?).

Shaman: Intelligence, level in Curses for bleed damage (?)

I missed a few classes, any some of these classes have artefacts specific to them that help with hunting, like silver fangs for increased Serpent venom damage, spiked knuckles for Monk's tekura and Sentinel/Druids maul damage.

Just a practical question for the IRE browser client. When I target I am unable to use smite? why is that?

for example after having targetted an imp I write SMITE @TAR and it doesnt work

Do a CTRL+F for "target"

Hi, @Riplakish. We have an existing thread for quick questions like this!

smite damage is based on skill lvl in spirituality well for how often you actually connect that is as well as what kind of mace you have.  a regular summoned mace is going to do less damage then an artifact mace.  It's also slightly strength based.

Alignment based abilities were removed ages ago, though there were hardly any of them and Smite wasn't among them. There's no coded alignment any more, or at least nothing visible. It's possible the code for it is still present.

Garrote is not strength. It's whip damage and subterfuge skill. Also morphs don't differ in damage. Maul is maul is maul. Jester, occultist, magi, pretty much everything relies on the class skill being closer to trans.

Just your level. At 18 it does 1000 dmg, which is pretty handy against a dragon.
