How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 8: Life Domain, Trickery Domain, Nature Domain, Tempest Domain, and War Domain

Notes

• Can be done as a post-strike reaction (without spending reaction points) similar to Divine Smite for both melee and ranged attacks.
• Divine Strike: {Variation} (Melee) and Divine Strike: {Variation} (Ranged) use the corresponding weapon.
• Does not apply to unarmed attacks.
• Does double (2d8) damage if the weapon attack roll is a critical hit.
• Possible Bug: Divine Strike does the not obey the turn recharge outside of turn-based mode.
• The different methods of using Divine Strike (as a post-strike reaction or with the weapon action directly) have independent, once-per-turn cooldowns. Activating Divine Strike directly does not prevent triggering it again that turn with a post-strike reaction (and vice versa). This means that Divine Strike can actually be used twice in a turn, provided it is used once with each method.
