+** This allows you to use Divine Smite on any melee weapon attack and multiple times per turn, even while dual-wielding.
-==At Higher Levels==
-When '''Divine Smite''' is cast at 2nd Level or higher, damage increases by {{DamageText|1d8|Radiant}} for each spell slot level above 1st.
-== Notes ==
-* Unlike other smite spells, '''Divine Smite''' can also be configured to trigger automatically on a hit or critical hit via the [[Reaction]]s menu.
 ** When triggered in this way, the only additional resource consumed is the selected level of spell slot.
 ** Despite being configured in the Reactions menu, '''Divine Smite''' never consumes the {{action|reaction}} resource.
-** '''Divine Smite''' cannot be triggered by ranged attacks.
+* If the weapon attack roll is a critical hit, the damage is doubled ({{DamageText|4d8|Radiant}}, increasing by {{DamageText|2d8|Radiant}} for each [[Spells#Spell_Slot_Levels|Spell Slot Level]] above 1st).
