Dr. Awkward said:It looks to me like a smite attack that gives off a wave of positive energy that heals anyone who has the smiting god's favour (read: allies).
That's the aesthetic that leaves me cold. A smite that gives out healing power is just too "out there" for me, even in a world where dragons fly and men cast fireballs. It's like a spell that casts a fireball, makes you fly, and trims your toenails all at the same time. Now, a spell that made you invisible and cast Dimension door I could see - an "Evasion" spell so to speak. But damaging and healing in one spell just doesn't fit thematically to me.
If I were a cleric I'd be doing it every freaking round, kitted out in plate mail and shield, with a mace and an attitude. I'd have the whole party at full hit points all the time, with no loss of action or resources.It also looks like the sort of thing that the cleric isn't going to do every round.
