Z-

I dug more into the smite rules, and I cannot honestly find any fault with applying ranged smite to other smite attacks beyond "Smite Evil".  Smite is (mostly) a highly limited attack in terms of who it affects.  There are certainly tricks to get a ton of smites, but that can be applied to any smite (think smite evil, smite taint, smite non-nature, smite good, smite chaos, smite law, smite opposed, etc.).  Running a high CHA character could be potentially lethal...when facing these sorts of opponents.

So over all:  Ranged Smite can be applied to any smite with minimal impact to game play.  I'm still mulling over if you'd have to take a different feat for each different type of smite, but I'm leaning towards "no".

Who/why are we smiting?

Smiting at range.
