-Your melee weapon attacks deal an additional 1d8 thunder damage.
-If you do not have Ninjoma's Paladin QOL Buffs installed, the Divine Smite action will not be removed from your character and the reactions will not be removed from your spell menu. The reactions will still not trigger. You will also have level 3 spells unlocked at level 8, but not be able to us them until level 9. Everything else "should" work properly without my other mod installed (let me know if it doesn't).
-This mod does not contain oath breaking mechanics (your oath cannot be broken)
