Ya, I seem to be mistaken on that point, I haven't played a Paladin myself and misread the smite spells. But what I have seen is both the smite spell, such as searing smite, and the divine smite paladin ability, being used together on the same attack. So you would use searing smite with the bonus action, make the attack action and then also use the divine smite class ability to deal additional damage on the attack. As it is currently set up, you wouldn't be able to use both. Am I mistaken in this? I appreciate the feedback Evandir.
