This is an attempt at using Champion of Torm as a control class and getting all the benefits from the two forms of smiting. This build has improved considerably from the changes that have been made since I first posted it.
There's been a handful of people asking about my CoT's build after seeing her in the hells . . . not that she wasn't face down a lot . . . With burs and more edits she's become considerably more stable.
In any case this build includes full UMD so you can have some functional significance while waiting for smites to recharge. No point in taking the divine might or shield feats as they don't get extended duration with CoT as control class.
This build after single demi - wearing asmo artifact and bur shield. No strongheart or cleric buff. Haven't used an artifact on her yet . . .strongly considering Con artifact since poison is one of the few immunities she doesn't have already. A very tough, hardy big damage divine fighter . . .we'll have to see how it goes with demi pens ^_^.
Note how far off the sheet saves are from actual. (74,69,64)

You'll need to spend your first 4 stat points on charisma since you need to get to 25 at lvl 20, spend the rest on strength. Skill points into discipline only, max out UMD and up to 40 tumble on rogue levels and in LLs after LSA tumble. Spare points into parry in LL since it's the only useful CoT skill other than disc.

Hound Archon will net you an extra epic and one preepic feat but since it's Epic feats you're poor in it doesn't help that much. Would probably use it on legendary will or great Cha 2 to keep charisma from ending odd. With cha being so high, and CoT having good preepic save progression, saves probably won't be too much of a problem.
Used Shard on my version since I have it and don't like the appearance of Hound Archon much and glad I have the extra con and speed on this build anyway. This build will have 48 levels CoT at lvl 60 so will include +15 soak on divine wrath, permanent true seeing and permanent mind immunity. +4 Strength in LLs helps considerably allowing you to get all of your preepic bonus feats to pay off.
