[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7403718, member: 6689161"] Smites do radiant damage. At 6th level, the CHR damage would be added to such an attack. So I think I have a contender here. I want to play the herald of an Angel with Thaumaturgy and other cool RP bits. I do not like EB or range primary attack routines. My solution is going to be to go with a couple levels of paladin total and use greenflame blade and or booming blade for times diplomacy fails. In this case, I can do extra damage via GFB due to the 6th level celestial feature. Additionally, if I smite (believe I can do so with GFB hits) i can also add CHR damage to its radiant damage. Severely underpowered in melee compared to a fighter, I feel good enough about my attacks to go with the RP concept. Heck, he might avoid melee until he can't and then do some respectable holy agent whooping. In other ways this fits---tome of shadows allows for all rituals so I have a guy that can understand languages, ward areas and do other things an Angel's herald should do. He can use Thaumaturgy with a trumpet for some nice ancient religious text flavor to boot. And I think with his celestial healing on a bonus action as well as tomb of levistus and Armor of Agathys at times, in addition to the other celestial features will allow him to occasionally step in the lion's den and resist evil as he does his patron's bidding...
