Smite evil

Once per day, a Paladin may attempt to Smite Evil with one normal melee attack.

She adds her Charisma modifier (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level. If the paladin accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up.

At 5th level, and at every five levels thereafter, the paladin may smite evil one additional time per rest, to a maximum of five times per day at 20th level.
