  • Unlike other smite spells, Divine Smite can also be configured to trigger automatically on a hit or critical hit via the Reaction Reactions 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 Reaction Reaction resource.
    • Divine Smite cannot be triggered by ranged attacks.
