'''Smite-targeted''' is a term used for spells and abilities that can target any entity in [[line of sight]], like the titular [[Smiting]] spell, regardless of obstacles in the way. Specifically, they are spells with the ''target'' or ''grid'' [[spell flags]]. They are not interrupted by monsters or certain dungeon features like [[iron grate]]s. However, transparent [[wall]]s block line of fire for the purpose of attacking.

Most spells with smite-targeting cannot miss; this is a property of each individual spell, rather than the targeting mode itself. For example, [[Portal Projectile]] doesn't suddenly make your [[ranged weapons]] perfectly accurate.

==Sources==
These player usable [[spell]]s and actions are smite-targeted.
*[[Airstrike]]
*[[Haunt]]
*[[Inner Flame]]
*[[Momentum Strike]] (range 4)
*[[Ranged combat]] during [[Portal Projectile]]
*[[Poisonous Vapours]]
*[[Yara's Violent Unravelling]]
*[[Apportation]] (targets an object rather than a creature; objects can't pass through walls)

These spells have similar targeting rules, but can target any grid square, not just those that contain a creature.
*[[Fire Storm]] (range 5)
*[[Freezing Cloud]] (range 5)
*[[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]] (needs dungeon feature/stone monster)

===Monster Sources===
A noncomprehensive list of monster spells with smite-targeting:
*[[Airstrike]]
*[[Call Down Damnation]]
*[[Resonance Strike]]
*[[Smiting]]
*[[Waterstrike]]

==Strategy==
Monsters with smite-targeted spells are very dangerous, able to hit you while other enemies are in your way. Most enemy spells are made more dangerous by ignoring your [[EV]] and [[SH]]. [[Smiting]] itself is a notorious killer of early characters. [[Penetration|Penetrating]] attacks or your own area-of-effect or smite-targeted attacks can get rid of pesky enemies.

Your own smite-targeted attacks can help when dealing with weak but supportive monsters, such as [[boggart]]s or [[moths of wrath]].
