Base Class: Paladin
The oath of Smiting subclass is a paladin that has dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of smiting their enemies. They see the world as a battleground where the forces of good and evil are constantly at war, and they are determined to tip the balance in favor of good through the power of their divine smites.
These paladins come from all walks of life, but they are united in their devotion to their deity and their desire to hone their smiting abilities to perfection. They begin their journey as young acolytes, learning the basics of smiting and practicing their skills under the guidance of experienced paladins. As they grow in power and experience, they become powerful warriors, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies with the might of their smites.
