#DIVINE SMITE 5E FULL#

If you aren’t getting undead minions, you’ll want to just smite away. The biggest drawback is that your spells at later levels aren’t that great. If they aren’t surrounded by their undead minions, their Aura of Hate can aid enemies, and their Dreadful Aspect will actively harm allies nearby, so you need to be careful. These wicked warriors embody ambition and selfishness, so they don’t work super well in teams. If your DM plans just to do a short, low-level campaign, like Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, you may want to pick another subclass. This subclass really shines in higher levels, so ideally, you’ll be playing this character for a while, or at least in a high-level one shot. If you want to play a hybrid tanky necromancer, this class is for you.

This subclass adds onto that playstyle by adding in some extremely potent Oath spells and the ability to raise the dead and shrug off damage in later levels. Paladins already boast a beefy, hard-hitting melee class. These unholy warriors use the darkness in their hearts to serve their own needs and are often evil-aligned warriors. Unlike traditional 5e paladin subclasses, where a paladin adopts a sacred oath that grants them the divine powers they need, the 5e Oathbreaker has forsaken that oath.
