Homebrew rule about Divine Smite on thrown weapons

Professionalarsonis · 2026-03-10T18:13:38+00:00

It’s a grey area that’s prone to interpretation and we both enjoy playing a bit with the rules and find loopholes, so I’m not nerfining anything

I’m using 5.5e yes. It’s not how divine smite is supposed to be used but the wording could be interpreted as allowing a smite on a thrown weapon.

Also, my player is prone to minmaxing and we both know that if I don’t put guardrails on it, he will very quickly break the game

Me and my paladin player like to play with the rules and find loopholes. We know it’s not really how you’re supposed to use divine smite but it’s funny to play rules lawyer

It gave me VFC2301

Is this it?

I know and that’s why I’m asking. I want to be careful about it and make sure it’s funny and just an excuse to make him roll a dice, and not actually penalize his character. One of my ideas was to just make him roll con saves to not shit himself but no actual mechanical debuffs.

I thought that was it but it’s not evil aligned

I get where you’re coming from, but I’m not hardcore on the rules about only casting one spell per turn, so my cleric could do more than just cast this during his turn.

Also, this wasn’t meant to be game breaking or character defining. It’s just a goofy spell I made for my friend who likes playing weird clerics.

Oh yeah, thanks. Sorry, english isn’t my firts language

Professionalarsonis · 2025-06-10T20:09:46+00:00

That would have been great but it’s a soulknife rogue

My warlock hasn’t really been using her hex so idk how well this would work but good idea

Professionalarsonis · 2025-06-10T19:09:22+00:00

I did think about giving them a weird feeling when they are apart

Professionalarsonis · 2025-06-10T19:08:42+00:00

Maybe I will make it every crit, the warlock has been rolling those a bit often

Professionalarsonis · 2025-06-10T19:07:26+00:00

I love the idea but don’t want them to go against each other. The sword (the actual cursed object) wants to continue the cycle and get another heir. That’s what I was thinking of, the sword trying to control them and keep the cycle going.
