Notes

  • Does not cost a Reaction point.
  • In-game the reaction is split into one reaction for normal hits called Divine Smite and one for critical hits called Divine Smite: Critical Hit per level.
    • This means that with a level 2 spell slot you will have four reactions. Two for each level.
    • By default Divine Smite: Critical Hit is on auto and Divine Smite is disabled.
    • In-game Divine Smite is listed under Class Actions in your spellbook.
