Smite is a Psychic Barrage that deals 1d10 + PR (+3) Energy Damage with a Pen of 4. A Psychic Barrage is a cluster of bolts of energy, similar to a semi-automatic weapon. If the Focus Power test succeeds, then the psyker produces one psychic bolt for the initial Degree of Success, plus one for every two additional Degrees of Success. The number of hits scored in this manner may not exceed the psyker’s effective Psy Rating when using this power. The first hit must strike the initially chosen target, while any subsequent hits may strike either the initial target or any other targets within two metres, providing all of the targets are within range and line of sight.

In any situation where the psyker would be called upon to make an Evasion Test, he may instead attempt to use this power. If the power is successful, the psyker avoids the attack exactly as if he has passed an Evasion Test.

The psyker nominates a number targets in range and line of sight up to half his Psy Rating (rounded up) who opposes this power with a Willpower Test. Those targets that fail to resist the power must follow a simple command given by the psyker. Some example orders include “Flee,” “Fall,” or “Attack your friend.” If the command is a potentially suicidal act, the targets receive a +20 to their Willpower Tests. In all cases the command must be achievable in a single Round.
