| summary = Divine Smite allows a {{Class|Paladin}} to expend a [[Spells#Spell Slots|Spell Slot]] to deal additional {{DamageType|Radiant}} damage with a melee weapon attack.
| description = Your weapon deals an additional {{DamageText|2d8|Radiant|drs=t}} damage, increased by {{DamageText|1d8|Radiant}} damage when attacking Fiends or Undead.
| extra description = This reaction won't trigger on a [[Critical Hit]].

| higher levels = * When '''Divine Smite''' is cast at 2nd Level or higher, damage increases by {{DamageText|1d8|Radiant}} for each [[Spells#Spell_Slot_Levels|Spell Slot Level]] above 1st. This damage is capped to 5d8, so using a spell slot above 4th spell level adds no further damage.
| notes = * '''Divine Smite''' cannot be triggered by ranged attacks.
* Does '''not''' consume the spell slot on a miss.
* Deals {{InfoBlob|Weapon Damage +}}
** {{DamageText|2d8|Radiant|drs=t}} (to normal enemies)
** {{DamageText|3d8|Radiant|drs=t}} (to fiends and undead) 
* Unlike other smite spells, '''Divine Smite''' can also be configured to trigger automatically on a hit or critical hit via the reactions menu. See {{SAI|Divine Smite (reaction)}}.
** This allows you to use Divine Smite on any [[melee weapon attack]] and multiple times per turn (e.g. while dual-wielding).
** 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.
* 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).
