First of all I can not take credit for the idea. I was discussing it with another player a while back, and I wanted to see if it could be done.
Ok the build premise is to use the Paladin's Divine Might feats with an AA"s skills to pile as much damage into a bow shot as possible. So the idea would be to max the toons CHA to get the most out of divine might. One could use Zen Archery with the build, but you would need to make him STR based for AC. So here is a general build concept. Do you thing it will work?

This was recently discussed, and although not fully relevant, sort of touches on the whole zen archery monk/pal. Of course, you could test build and compare stats to conventional aa builds here: I think it would subtract from the sustainability of the build as it would create a requirement for you to rest in order to regain your ability to use divine might. As has been mentioned before I am more of a fan of permanent bonuses that do not require you to use limited-use abilities. Also pursuing this build would be subtracting from your wisdom to add to charisma (since you will no longer have need of it for monk abilities), lowering your will save slightly. I also think that the hit to AC would be very significant. Without the 10 levels of monk that's -2 to AC from class levels, and without the Monk AC feat that's another 8-9 AC on top of the fact that neither Paladin, Sorcerer, or AA gets tumble as a class skill--cutting your available bonus from tumble in half (+4 with 20 points). So overall you would be losing at least 14 AC...which to me just doesn't seem worth the small increase in damage granted by divine grace.

I have tried unsuccessfully to get a build of this nature to work out very well. Problem is you need WIS for zen archery to affect your AB. You also need CHA for divine might. Then you need STR. Probably better off skipping STR and going DEX. Then you can skip zen archery. But you still have 3 primary stats which is difficult to manage.
