Immediately after you cast Divine Smite, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity and distribute Temporary Hit Points to creatures of your choice within 30 feet of yourself, which can include you. The total number of Temporary Hit Points equals 2d8 plus your Paladin level, divided among the chosen creatures however you like.
This suggests no additional bonus action cost following a cast of divine smite.
However... Inspiring smite in the character sheet description has an Action type: 1 bonus action, but also with the above description.
Which is it meant to be?
Casting Divine Smite, followed by Inspiring Smite costs one bonus action or 2??
Hi There,
I'm looking at the description of inspiring smite in the oath of glory description The Paladin Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e) - D&D Beyond
Level 3: Inspiring Smite

Looks like it’s miscategorized on the sheet. I’ll let the devs know. Thanks!
