At Higher Levels

• Divine Smite gains extra damage when consuming spell slots of higher levels. When used at 2nd Level or higher, damage increases by 1d8Radiant for each 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

• 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.
• Despite consuming spell slots, Divine Smite is not a spell. It can be cast when  Silenced.
• Additionally, it cannot be countered with  Counterspell
