So, do the extra d4 Damage of divine favor also applies to the second attack of a dual wielding paladin or to the PAM bonus action attack?
If so, attacking after casting divine favor the previous round with a level 2 Variant human, paladin with 16 strength, wielding a glaive and having PAM would deal: 1d10+3+3d4+3 damage?
That looks like a lot for a level 2 PC but I may just go Nova and spend the spell slot that I would use to cast divine favor in smiting and also deal a lot of damage, can't I?
But then again divine favor last for one minute and I can still smite if I have spell slots to spare to pile on even more radiant damage.
Am I missing something? Or should I forget PAM and dual wielding in favor of taking a shield and make my AC as high as possible since I'll most likely take the defense fighting style and then rely on smiting to deal nova damage?
As a side note I'll take oath of the Ancients for thematic reasons.
Also remember that this is a LOW level build.
