Since we are on the topic of maxed out damage per hit, I came up with a derivative of Tor's max damage build. I do not know if anyone else already posted this, so here goes:

Race: Elf

Starting Stats:
Str 13
Dex 13
Con 6
Int 13
Wis 12
Cha 17

Stat Progression:
Boost charisma whenever possible (level 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40)

Skill Progression: 4 Intimidate, Rest is any(do we really care?)

Level Progression:
12 * Paladin
5 * Champion of Torm
1 * Paladin
5 * Weapon Master
17 * Champion of Torm

Feat progression:
1, Exotic Weapon Proficiency
3, Weapon Focus (scythe)
6, dodge
9, mobility
12, Spring Attack
14, Expertise (CoT level 2)
15, whirlwind attack
16, Power Attack (CoT level 4)
18, Divine Might
21, Great Charisma I
24, Great Charisma II, Great Smite I (CoT level 6)
26, Great Smite II (CoT level 8 )
27, Great Smite III
28, Great Smite IV (CoT level 10)
30, Great Smite V
32, Great Smite VI (CoT level 14)
33, Great Smite VII
36, Great Smite VIII, Great Smite IX (CoT level 18)
39, Improved Power Attack
40, Great Smite X (CoT level 22)

The character ends up as:
Paladin 13 / Weapon Master 5 / Champion of Torm 22

with stats:
Str 13
Dex 13
Con 6
Int 13
Wis 13
Cha 29

Using NO magical equipment at all and the following spells / special abilities:
Divine Favour: +4 to Attack and Damage
Eagle's Splendor: +2 Charisma (at least)
Bull's Strength: +2 Strength (at least)
Divine Might: +10 Damage
Divine Wrath: +7 Attack and Damage (Improved by Epic CoT levels)
Improved Power Attack: +10 Damage

Maxed Damage Calculations For Smite Evil as well as Ki Damage
8 (Scythe Damage Maxed) +
3 (Strength Bonus * 1.5) +
4 (Divine Favour) +
10 (Divine Might) +
7 (Divine Wrath) +
10 (Improved Power Attack) +
385 (Smite Evil = 11 (Great Smite X) * 35 (Pal 13 + CoT 22))
----
427

Combined with a Critical Hit: 427 * 5 (Scythe *4 +1 Increased Crit Multipier from Weapon Master) = 2135 Max Damage

There, done! More blood for all those blood thirsty people out there!
