Posted Jun 7, 2025We have a lot of Smite Spells, but we've always been missing two kinds of spells in this family:
I've already made a "Healing Smite" (check it out) so here's my take on a Smite for the 2024 Rules that does damage to multiple targets without being too ridiculous.
Also the name "Shocking Smite" was taken by like 50 other homebrew spells, most of which are insanely overpowered, so I decided on "Striking". You know, like a "Lightning Strike".
Try it out, I hope you enjoy it.
