2GM promptly forgot the continuing damaging effects on the party
3Although the swarm was cast on Aelius and he did take the initial dmg, it was post-game decided that the swarm traveled to the Frostfallen when it came into contact with Aelius.
4The Antipaladin's hits were calculated as follows: (2d6 weapon +11) + (60 Touch of Corruption) + (60 Channel Negative Energy) + (20 to 40 if smiting). This is calculated as follows:
- 2d6 weapon + 11 from normal dmg bonus
- From Conductive Magic Weapon Special Ability page: "A conductive weapon is able to channel the energy of a spell-like or supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack to hit its target... When the wielder makes a successful attack of the appropriate type, he may choose to expend two uses of his magical ability to channel it through the weapon to the struck opponent, which suffers the effects of both the weapon attack and the special ability. (If the wielder has unlimited uses of a special ability, she may channel through the weapon every round.) For example, a paladin who strikes an undead opponent with her conductive greatsword can expend two uses of her lay on hands ability (a supernatural melee touch attack) to deal both greatsword damage and damage from one use of lay on hands." *
- From Channel Smite page: "Before you make a melee attack roll, you can choose to spend one use of your channel energy ability as a swift action... If you channel negative energy and you hit a living creature, that creature takes an amount of additional damage equal to the damage dealt by your channel negative energy ability." *
- From Antipaladin page: "At 20th level, an antipaladin becomes a conduit for the might of the dark powers... whenever he channels negative energy or uses touch of corruption to damage a creature, he deals the maximum possible amount."
- From Antipaladin page: "Once per day, an antipaladin can call out to the dark powers to crush the forces of good. As a swift action, the antipaladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is good, the antipaladin adds his Charisma bonus (if any) on his attack rolls and adds his antipaladin level on all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. If the target of smite good is an outsider with the good subtype, a good-aligned dragon, or a good creature with levels of cleric or paladin, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the antipaladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite good attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess."
