Player Guide

Cast Divine Favor before entering combat or at the start of your turn to maximize the spell's duration (1 minute concentration). This spell shines for characters with multiple weapon attacks per turn (fighters, barbarians, paladins) where the extra 1d4 radiant damage compounds across attacks. Avoid casting it if you need concentration for control spells, and remember it only triggers on hits—position yourself to ensure reliable attacks.

Spell Combos

bless Bless increases your attack rolls, making Divine Favor's damage more likely to land on each swing.haste Haste grants an extra action, allowing more weapon attacks and more applications of Divine Favor's bonus damage.

DM Tips

Remind players this requires concentration and only adds damage on hits, not on attack rolls. Watch for creative interpretations—the spell applies to weapon attacks only, not unarmed strikes or spell attacks.
