Searing Smite 5e | DND Spell Guide

In this post we are going to discuss about the D&D Searing Smite 5e Spell. This post we shortly discuss their overview, levels or durations. So let’s start the post.

Overview

Searing Smite is a first-level evocation spell that you can cast as a bonus action and causes your next successful weapon attack to deal 1d6 addition fire damage and ignite the target in flames.

At the start of each of it’s turns, the target make a Consitution saving throw against your spell save DC.

On a failure, it takes 1d6 fire damage. On a save, it takes no damage and the effect ends. The flames can also be put out as an action or by the environment.

While a cool spell, searing smite is the antithesis of a smite: a spell that deals a ton of damage upfront. Fire is also commonly resisted damage type.

Fourthermore, when cast at higher levels only the smite’s initial damage increase, not a the 1d6 fire damge the creature take at the beginining of its turn.
