My character is a grave cleric and I was wondering if there was a way to kill undead or take one to the afterlife in a quick, painless way. I am currently at level 5. For undead creatures that are more or less innocent/harmless, he would comfort them and peacefully escort them to the afterlife. I don't know how radiant damage works but if there were a combination of spells that I could use to send them off, that would be cool for RP.
I’d say talk to your DM about it. Seems like you could maybe flavor your toll the dead as a ringing that leads them to the afterlife, or sacred flame as something that bathed them in a soothing light. As I understand it, however, many types of undead are just animated corpses — any spirit or soul has already departed, but that’s really a lore thing that could easily be changed from one campaign to another. So check with your DM about it being a flavor/rp thing for your character, and see what they think.
In a similar vein you can use the clerics destroy undead ability and use the description of releasing their souls so their animated corpse falls lifeless to the ground.
