Recommended choices
Priorities
- Balance STR and CHA: both fuel your core abilities.
- Save spell slots for Divine Smite on critical hits for massive burst.
- Aura of Protection (CHA to all saves within 10 ft) protects the entire party.
Play tips
- Smite after you hit, not before — and save your biggest slots for crits.
- Bless is one of the best concentration spells in the game. Use it.
- Your Lay on Hands pool is best spent 1 HP at a time to pick up downed allies.
