![]() ![]() Here is the breakdown of my homebrew spell (I’ve highlighted the entries that I think are necessary for the spell to show up properly on the sheet). Pretty simple really, but given that it took me a few attempts, I thought I’d document here. ![]() The only thing I haven’t found a way to account for is the extra 1d8 against undead and fiends… for now I’ll add a reminder in the Notes section for the spell. I chose to use ‘Spell Level’ scaling to specify the increased damage die when cast at 2nd, 3rd, and 4th level. Higher Levels Scaling – With these settings, the character sheet will take care of Divine Strike’s scaling damage when cast with higher level spell slots. At first I thought I would have to customize my subclass (my Oath) to add the custom spell, but this is way easier. The half-orc nearby shouts orders, helping the two combatants coordinate their assault to the best advantage. An elf behind her, clad in studded leather armor, peppers the goblins with arrows loosed from his exquisite bow. If you add subclasses here, the spell will be added to the character sheet as an ‘always prepared’ spell. A human in clanging plate armor holds her shield before her as she runs toward the massed goblins. ![]() Turns out this is how Oath Spells are specified. Then I read the fine print in the tooltip. First, I want to point out two critical elements that make it work.Īvailable for Class(as) – I was originally going to just set this to ‘Paladin’ as Divine Smite should be usable by all paladins. 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. Homebrew Tutorials Subclasses Tutorial Features at the correct levels The core design of D&D 5th edition ensures that there is a balance of features at each level for a player. 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. Base Armor Class (set by spell or mundane armor).
