(General)
You can use your smiting power to protect an ally from known evil.
Prerequisites
Base attack bonus +5, smite evil class feature.
Benefit
When you choose the target of your smite evil ability, you also choose one creature other than you within line of sight. While your smite is in effect, the additional creature you chose gains a
Deflection Bonus to AC equal to your
Charisma modifier against attacks made by the target of the smite. This bonus ends when the smite ends. You do not gain the
Deflection Bonus to AC normally granted by smite evil.
Normal
While smite evil is in effect, the
Paladin gains a
Deflection Bonus to her AC equal to her
Charisma bonus (if any) against attacks made by the target of her smite attack.
