The goal of this build was to have a Great Smiter that had Listen and Spot as class skills and could survive on the front lines. Unfortunately it does not have as good of AB as most fighter types due to its low STR. On the plus side it eventually has Great Smite 6, heavy armor, Evasion, martial weapons, a decent Sneak Attack, an Epic Vrock, good saves, high Divine Shield and Divine Might stats, and a good undead turning check. I suggest using a full plate and large shield with this as a tower shield would have too great of an impact on Tumble.

Drop wisdom to 8, and dexterity to 10. Pump intelligence to 14, get tumble up to 40 and use a tower shield, because the armor check penalty doesn't effect tumble at all. And what are those two ranks doing in lore? Oh, and get IKD so that you'll have a real use for your sneak attacks.
That aside, your AB is bugging me. I know this is true of alot of smiters, but with that AB you're a one-trick pony. Against most builds you're only going to hit on a 20. I feel your Fiendish Servant is going to bail you out quite a bit. _________________ CATS!
All those skills really make it hard to read feats, according to the revised posting rules :

It's intresting, Divine feats give good bonus, but AB is low... I think you'd deal more if you change your CHA for STR to land those sneaks instead of Smites.

Good idea about raising INT. IKD would be good. I know the 2 ranks in Lore are lame, but I couldn't find anywhere else to put them at that point. You're probably right about the Fiend. Nothing wrong with having a useful summon, IMHO.

Yeah, but that would change the concept of the build. In the original post I stated this was a Great Smite build. A good STR belt would be really handy.
