Can a Paladin have more than one Smite working at the same time against different foes?

can you add what smite is for those that don't quite know it off-hand? – DForck42 Jun 14 '12 at 20:56

It's not stated that they can't in the core rules, so I would say that you can if your level is high enough to warrant multiple uses of Smite per day.

I think so too. – David Allan Finch Oct 20 '10 at 8:02

I don't believe so. RAW the attack/damage bonuses, though untyped, are from the same source and thus wouldn't stack... The deflection bonus, as it's clearly typed, certainly won't.

This is against different foes. I agree against the same foe this would be silly. – David Allan Finch Oct 20 '10 at 7:59

Oh, against DIFFERENT foes. Yes, then that's totally legal. – mxyzplk♦ Oct 20 '10 at 14:27

In my opinion it kind of goes against the intent of Smiting, but there seems to be no rules reason why you can't. Much the same way you can smite a target and then switch to attack another target to get an AC boost. If Paizo didn't want players to be able to do this they would have specified.
