2nd-level Paladin feature, which replaces the Divine Smite feature and the Improved Divine Smite feature and works with Oath features that refer to Divine Smite.
When a creature fails a saving throw against a cantrip you cast that deals damage, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target in addition to the cantrip's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an Undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8. If the cantrip hits more than one creature, the paladin may only apply Divine Wrath to one of them.
When you reach 11th level, creatures that fail their saving throw against a damage dealing cantrip take an additional 1d8 points of Radiant damage.

Posted Nov 28, 2022I know this space isn't exactly accurate, as this isn't a feat, but I couldn't think of a category closer.
The entire idea behind this Optional Class Feature is for them to take the Blessed Warrior fighting style and be able to effectively apply their smite to Sacred Flame, Toll the Dead, or Word of Radiance. It can apply to other similar cantrips if you have them, which by no means should be broken and opens other possible flavor opportunities for your character (whether you got them via a feat or go down the route of the ever popular Sorcadin). It cannot be enhanced by a Critical unlike Divine Smite, but it can be used at range.
