#DIVINE SMITE 5E FULL#
This should be simple but it took me a few iterations with the homebrew tools so I’ll include the full homebrew item write-up below. I want Divine Smite to work in the same way… not taking up any room in my ‘prepared spells’ list, but still burning spell slots when I use it. This actually feels like a pretty natural solution for the paladin as they already get ‘always prepared’ Oath Spells. The goal is to capture the effect of the divine smite class feature in a homebrew spell. I played with a few things and this is the one I landed on.
I asked the question to the community for confirmation (as have others) and got a number of great recommended workarounds. I’m sure it is in the devs’ backlog, but divine smite only shows up on the sheet as a class feature description, not a roll-able feature. There’s probably more to say on that… but for now, I wanted to post the workaround I needed to make that dice roller work in one more edge case – the paladin’s divine smite. Being able to click on just about any number of the character sheet to roll some dice is just soooo convenient. Especially with the addition of the dice roller and game log. I’ve also come to really like the online character sheet… frankly more than I thought I would. For the past few months, I’ve been using the D&D Beyond character sheet to run my Aasimar paladin in a friend’s online campaign.
