40 FoR21: (CL 9 / CoT 10 / FoR 21), Cha mod (10) [34], +43 Disc, Top off skills

Skills: Conc: 43, Disc: 43, Lore: 43, S-Craft: 42, Tumble: 20

1) “Unearthly Grace” save skin borked w/ Cha items. Modified saves so they match with +12 Cha (Fort / Flex / Will: 54 / 45 / 47).
2) FoR Smite Evil damage did not stack with CoT levels. :@ Used PRC Leto to change build levels to CL1 / CoT 8 / FoR 31 to get correct Smite damage (310). Caster L = 40 v. 39 from correct build. Close enough.
3) BAB frapped due to de-leveling CL. Need to dm_modifyattackbase 8 then rest. Then you get more (too many??) attacks.
4) For all out (non-epic caster) Super-Smiter, use Damage Adept (DA): http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark/character_damageadept.html
5) Epic caster, much stronger non-smite melee, more attacks, higher crit probability than Damage Adept
6) Traded Great Smiting X (additional 31 hp / smite, 310 / rest) bonus feat @ FoR 22 for Max S-craft by taking CL @ L39. S-craft DC checks needed to cast epic spells. Went higher Con (v. Dex) for Dev Crit saves.
7) Used ModCon 5 for Transcendent Vitality.
8) Expected pre-epic bonus feat at L23 / FoR5.
9) Used CL instead of Pal for Epic spells, used CoT for bonus feats and (expected) Smite stack
10) Download the Alignment changer: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=7206 Files
11) Copy extracted gn* files to the override directory
12) ~, then DebugMode=1; dm_spawnitem gnam_1; pick up the spawned item
13) DebugMode=0; Use NAM; if it doesn’t work, ~ dm_runscript gnam_1_manually

Enjoy.

Holy Slayer - Paladin/Fist of Raziel/Knight of the Chalice
Requirements:

FoR:
Alignment: Lawful Good.
Feats: Power Attack, Servant of The Heavens.
Skills: Persuade 5 ranks, Lore 5 ranks.
Divine Spellcasting: Can cast 1st level spells.
Base Attack Bonus: 6
Spell: Able to cast Divine Favor

KoC:
Alignment: Lawful Good
Base Attack Bonus: +8
Skills: Lore 10 or more ranks
Divine Spellcasting: Level 1 or higher.
Spells: Ability to cast Protection from Evil

Design:
This build is designed to be a powerful slayer of Undead and/or Demons by focusing on the varying prestige classes of Fist of Raziel and Knight of the Chalice.  Variants are entirely possible depending on the module and the relative prevalence of Undead and Demons.

Playing this as an Aasimar is the most logical and fits the mold (mould? which one is which? :)), but really anything 'Good' and doesn't impact Charisma would work just fine.

Level Progression:
1. Paladin 1 - *Power Attack
2. Paladin 2
3. Paladin 3 - *Cleave
4. Paladin 4 - CHA +1
5. Paladin 5
6. Paladin 6 - Servant of the Heavens
7. Fist of Raziel 1 - Magic Circle / Smite Evil x1 (Divine)
8. Knight of the Chalice 1 - CHA +1 / Demonslaying 1
9. KoC 2 - *Weapon Focus (any) / Censure Demons
10. KoC 3 - Demonslaying 2
11. FoR 2
12. FoR 3 - CHA +1 / *Improved Critical (any) / Smite Evil x2 (crit)
13. FoR 4
14. FoR 5 - Smite Evil x3 (2d6 Holy Dmg v Evil) / Sanctify Martial Strike
15. FoR 6 - *Great Cleave
16. FoR 7 - CHA +1 / Smite Evil x4 (2d8 Holy Dmg v Evil or Outsider)
17. FoR 8
18. FoR 9 - *(Extra Smiting?) / Smite Evil x5 (All Targets)
19. FoR 10 - Holy Martial Strike
20. KoC 4 - CHA +1 / Censure Demons 2

Epic:
Can either continue with Fist of Raziel levels into epic-hood which grants additional Smite attempts every alternate level; or take some/all of the remaining 6 Knight of the Chalice levels first to increase Demonslaying abilities.


Alternative:
If there is a greater Demon presence than Undead then more Knight of the Chalice levels can be taken instead of Fist of Raziel to accomodate that since the great demonslaying strength would be of more use than the Smites - even though the higher smite powers affect Outsiders as well.  This build had more focus on the Undead Slaying (since Undead are typically more prevalent than Demons) and aiming at getting the Holy Martial Strike before the Epic levels.
