But the simple fact is, there's something immensely satisfying about having your character lay down the Smite on a gargantuan ancient dragon doling out 181 HP worth of hurt on him in two rounds.
My character is a 14th level Paladin, with a +2 Longsword that does an additional +2d6 against Evil things.
I had the following spells up helping my cause: Find the Gap (Smite's best friend), Fell the Greatest Foe (another +3d6 damage due to our respective size differences), and Divine Favor (+3 to hit, +3 Damage). My first strike was a charge backed with Smite and Divine Might and Rhino's Rush (effectively makes a charge attack a critical). First strike hit for 87 damage.
Second strike, all the same except no Rhino's Rush. But I critted.
Honestly, Find the Gap made all the difference, since it turned my first attack of each round into a Touch Attack. Given that the dragon was AC 53, it was the only way I could hurt him.
