I noticed a 5th spell in Paladin's spell list called Destructive Smite. However there doesn't seem to be such a spell in spell description. Instead, there is a spell named Destructive Wave, which is also 5th level.
Is that a typo or something? Destructive Wave doesn't quite look like a Pally spell though...
Bump because this was never answered?
And I just came across it.
Don't know of any official word, but it seems generally understood that it's a mistake, and Destructive Smite is indeed meant to refer to Destructive Wave.
You could always make a Destructive Smite if you wanted. I think it might actually be referring to an axed "Disintegrating Smite" spell, which IIRC did a chunk of d10's and more ongoing d10's until the target made a save.
Agree with Macv.
I think its generally understood that it was an editing typo and should be Destructive Wave.
Yes this is a typo. It is Destructive Wrath that the Paladin spell list should read.
Its a superb, Paladin exclusive spell, which only the Tempest Cleric gets to also pick.
