Classes:

• Class level 10: Bard (via Magical Secrets)

Notes

• This spell can only be learned by Hexblade Warlocks at level 9 or Bards (via Magical Secrets) at level 10, as Paladins do not get access to level 5 spells until level 17 in D&D 5e.
• There is no saving throw for any aspect of this spell.
• If the target is left with 1-49 Hit Points after the damage from the smite is applied, it is then  Banished for 2 turns.
• See Smite for additional functionality information.

Bugs

• Banishing Smite (Ranged) cast at level 6 incorrectly spends a level 5 spell slot.
