Background: Originally this was a FA Pally Smite-tastic Build courtesy of Dragonlance007. The toon was functional but once the buffs dropped for any reason I took a beating and was useless till I could rebuff. Not the solid tank that was needed to make a hellrun successful. Then a few months later I managed to get two Pharlan books and worked out a reincarnation based on that race (29 Pally 10 COT 1 Monk same as previous), better AB but missing Divine Shield. The Divine Wrath was nice but once per day use and short duration made it sacrificable in my mind. I tagged the toon for Cania and realized to my dismay that the Cania armour that I had traded for required 30 Pally levels...
(Damn it Tipit, read the description when you are awake and not at 4am)
So here I was reincarnating into a more classic Pally Smiter build Actually one other reason for reinc was the lack of UMD on both of the previous versions, something that I cannot live without anymore. Its simply too important in my mind to at least be able to read scrolls in hells. So after reincarnating to 38 Pally 2 Rogue for the UMD/Tumble Dump, I was on a Cania run a couple nights ago and got some ideas from the party on a possible reinc.
After a few tells back and forth with Mish that probably had him scratching his head about "what kind of idiot am I talking to?" I finally put together a build at about 3 am that night. Well enough babblin...
Half Elf/Pharlan
base with subrace adjustments
str 12/18
dex 14/14
con 12/12
int 12/12
wis 10/14
cha 16/20
Class Breakdown: 1 Rogue - 19 Pally - 3 HS - 1 Pally - 2 HS - 13 Pally - 1 Rogue
The first 4 ability points go into charisma the rest str. The 4 cha plus the 4 from LL Pally levels and the 2 from HS Bonus Feats puts you to 30 base. 42 with gear.
The skills I dumped points into are as follows
concentration, discipline, tumble (dump at 40), UMD (dump at 40), Listen (in LLs)
Pre-Epic Feats
1 - Alertness
3 - Ironwill
6 - Weapon Focus
9 - Improved Critical
12 - Extend Spell
15 - Blindfight
18 - Extra Smiting
Epic Feats
HS 21 - Epic Weapon Focus
HS 21 - HS Bonus Feat - Cha +1
Pally 24 - Great Smiting 1 (GS1)
HS 25 - HS Bonus Feat - Cha +1
Pally 27 - GS2
Pally 28 - Pally Bonus Feat - GS3
Pally 30 - GS4
Pally 31 - Pally Bonus Feat - GS5
Pally 33 - GS6
Pally 34 - Pally Bonus Feat - GS7
Pally 36 - GS8
Pally 37 - Pally Bonus Feat - GS9
Pally 39 - GS10
read enchantment book for GMW casting of course if you happen to get stuck in a party where the silly cleric did not take IOF
Legendary Feats
Epic Prowess
Leg Weapon Focus
Str 3 & 4
LSA Listen
LSF Listen
Armour Skin
Note: As I stated above I have all the Warhammers and mainly use the Rona Hammer, The extra Bludge Damage is nice and allows me to keep pace in most runs I've run logs on. I am expecting with the addition of the HS Secret the Dmg that I can produce will increase quite a bit. In addition if you manage to get your hands on a Uro Battlecleric helm, with song you can UMD it and increase your crit range on the warhammer by 1.
Pros:
Crit Immune and Breach on hit from Pally Spells
Self weapon buffing (in emergencies)
HS Secret additional attacks and greater restore pots (never actually used these yet so don't know how useful they actually are)
UMD and Evasion from the 2 Rogue Levels
Well there it is... let me know what u think and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Revised to take into account Mish's suggestions
