Swift Action
A swift action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and energy than a free action. You can perform only a single swift action per turn.
Several combat options are swift actions that modify one or more attacks you take after that swift action. For example, a Cleric can expend a use of Channel Divinity to activate Castigate take a swift action to activate.
Common uses for swift actions include:
- Cast a Quickened Spell
- Smite Enemy (Paladin class ability)
- Rage (Barbarian class ability)
- Enter a stance
