Flame-like radiance descends on a creature that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 Radiant damage. The target gains no benefit from Half Cover or Three-Quarters Cover for this save.

Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach levels 5 (2d8), 11 (3d8), and 17 (4d8).

Sacred Flame 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

Both versions deal 1d8 radiant damage on a failed Dexterity save, increasing at levels 5, 11, and 17. The 2024 version grants immunity to Half Cover and Three-Quarters Cover for the saving throw, whereas the 2014 version states no benefit from cover. No other significant mechanical differences.
