Staggering Smite

ᛊᛏᚨᚷᚷᛖᚱᛁᛜ᛫ᛊᛗᛁᛏᛖ

Dominant, Paladin
4th-level evocation (Dark)
Casting Time: 1 bonus action, which you take immediately after hitting a creature with a weapon attack
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

Your weapon pierces both body and mind, and your attack deals an extra 4d6 psychic damage to the target. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks, and can’t take reactions, until the end of its next turn.


Spell is now cast when you hit, rather than before attacking. This change originates from OneD&D. The spell’s duration is now Instantaneous.
