Pre-Epic
- all stat boosts to cha
- sf illusion, power attack, extra smiting, smite 1
- blooded
- cleave, great cleave, extend spell, weapon focus, divine might, divine shield
Epic
- stat boosts 24th and 28th to cha rest to str. Could put 2 of those str into con.
- imp crit, e-prowess, e-weapon focus, armor skin, smite 10
Legendary
- LSA tumble, L-weapon focus, str 1, over crit, dev crit
Whats above are the essentials, assuming you use blindfight pandact, you have 2 feats left over. Here are some options for those last 2 feats
1st- 2 great str or cha. I would go with str over cha because your current cha modifier buffed is 16, since aura of glory works on half your mod for % immunity I would keep your mod at an even number, unless you plan to use cha arty.
2nd- toughness and LL enchantment. You would have to take toughness in pre or epic and shift a feat to LL. You would also have to use enchantment book at 41st and you would be able to self buff to gmw 14.
3rd- toughness and LL divination. Why divination you may ask, this is for a little risk. The 4th level paladin spell neutralise poison and the 2nd level spell remove paralysis give immunity with divination focuses. I am not sure if these give better than item protection but judging from requirements and duration it leads me to believe that they do. I admit the 4th level neutralise poison is in the precious 4th level slots, and if you use con arty for this toon is useless ( although could be good to give to another ). But the 2 turn immunity to paralysis, or 4 turns extended might be worthwhile.
4th- exotic and toughness/divination/enchantment. To use bastard swords and get the nice x4 crits.

Notes
- Why gnome over human. There is no size differnerce. The extra skill points the gnome gives allows maxing craft weapon, assuring at least the same ab over a human and a good chance of having 1 more. The loss of feat is offset by the increase hp and other benifits of higher con.
- Artifact choice is con or str. Str provides +1 ab/dam, immunity to stun and the instakill once per day. Con provides more hp, better con check, immunity to poison, and a fire attack that bfms will love you for. Tough choice, but if using con, try to use it at 55 to max the hps it gives.
- Why pure. Its the spells. The notable one is divine favor lasting 3 turns, 6 if extended. This spell should be active at all times and weapon choice should be made with this spell in mind since you want a weapon that does magic damage so that it will stack with the +5 magic damage the spell does. Endure elemnets is a 1% increase, def clang is 1 more damage and +1 ab, death ward crit immune lasts 1 more round, and FoM is a faster speed. With precious rings, etheral potions and when demi bbod rods, the need for splash is just not there anymore.
