@JeremyECrawford you've posted conflicting tweets on the relationship between imp divine smite and divine smite official ruling in SA soon?

Improved Divine Smite adds 1d8 damage, period. Somewhere I wrote a "Yes" that implies otherwise. Ignore that. #DnD https://t.co/CUiq5ZLHtz

So only 1d8, not the 1d8 for your weapon attack and additionally 1d8 if you smite for 2d8, correct? Just a flat 1d8 to every hit?

Improved Divine Smite: it adds 1d8 damage. It doesn't add 2d8 damage. Just 1d8 delicious radiant damage. #DnD https://t.co/M96J8mXg1n

So still limited to a max of 5d8 including imp. DS when you Divine Smite? https://t.co/s3QcFuVIQz

Improved Divine Smite isn't limited by the damage cap in Divine Smite. That's what the final sentence of Improved DS is trying to say. #DnD https://t.co/np9Gwz6wGL
