Moreso than any painting by Hieronymus Bosch, you have managed to paint a picture of Hell.

Is there anything worse than a singing Paladin?

...this is probably when he started with his medley:

"Smite! Smite! Smite! Smite every devil!
Smite! Smite! Smite! Smite every devil!"
***
"Step up, (step on up)
Step up, (step on up)
Work up a sheen, (step on up), like a smite machine, (step on up)"
***
"'Cause i smite alone
YEAAAAH with nobody else.
Yeah u know when I smite alone.
I prefer to be by myself!"
***
"Prepare to take internals, all you who are infernal
Prepare to take internals, all you who are infernal
Prepare to take internals, all you who are infernal
Prepare to take internals, all you who are infernal
UH!
Smiting in the name of!
Smiling in the name of!"

What actually happened? The party went in and had the adventure.

The image, of course, is based on the Paladin's recounting of events, which curiously omitted the rest of the party. ;)
Notice that he is holding his shield upside down, which is, of course, a universal sign of surrender. He is desperately trying to avoid being pushed backwards off the ledge into the abyss behind him. The rest of the party are behind the camera, taking the pictures.

Yes, he is holding it oddly, but he's actually proficient with using the shield as a weapon- that orientation alllows for a nasty punch...

Also, how is the chimaera "taking pictures"?
 

You missed the most important option of all: the "generic" paladin, because the oaths are too intrusive. If the subclass has to have a name with oath in it, then it should be the oath of smiting paladin.

To make it in line with the often-requested "generic" wizard and "generic" sorcerer, the oath of smiting paladin should a) be a 9th level caster, b) should be able to get a number of divine smites that don't require a spell slot equal to their proficiency bonus, and c) should get metamagic and sorcery points. I don't really know why c), but I am basing this on definitions of "generic" on the forums, and that seems to be a central part of it.

The oath of smiting paladin is important to my character concept: my PC is better than yours. And nothing says paladin like that.

How are you attempting to determine that?
...
Okay, make an Intelligence(Arcana) roll.
....
Okay. You recollect that there is an 8th-level Illusionist spell that allows the caster to bind a permanent illusion of something he sees, to a piece of suitably prepared parchment costing not less than 100gp. You do not know the name of the spell, however, and you have never met an illusionist who professed to knowing it.
...
Okay, make a Wisdom(History) roll.
...
Okay. You once heard of the existence of a fabled library of Illusion scrolls in the Tower of Temptation on the Lost Island of Aa, somewhere is the Ocean of Dreams. You have no idea how to get there. What will you do next?

:D
