Divine Smite is a signature paladin ability in Dungeons and Dragons fifth edition, where a paladin channels radiant energy through a melee weapon strike to deal extra damage to a foe. The feature has become a fan favourite in actual-play streams, tabletop clips, and fantasy edits because it represents a dramatic, high-damage moment in combat. Short audio versions circulate online as reaction and gameplay effects, letting creators instantly signal a holy critical hit without explaining the rules behind it.
