I'm curious about this. How did the demon sneak attack the paladin? If it was in the darkness, it can't sneak attack, if it was out of the darkness then the Paladin keeps his dex bonus.
Also, my players are 6/7th level and have no trouble at all hitting AC25.
If a monster is immune to slashing weapons, just use your fists

The paladin was closing his eyes to avoid the gaze of the demon, hence, no dex bonus.
And how on earth do your 6th level characters regularly hit AC 25? My party's main fighter has BAB +7, +3 strength, +1 focus, +1 enchantment. Add in +1 morale for the bard, and that comes to a +13 on the primary. That still only hits 45% of the time, which ain't too great. The ranger/barbarian can get to a +15 on the primary, but still, a main-line fighter hitting 50% of the time counts as difficult in my book.
Of course, most of the characters were using bows, and they aren't as optimized for ranged combat as they are for melee. Plus, several of the melee fighters had lost some strength early in the encounter.
As for our monk, well, he tried valiantly but just couldn't connect. His biggest contribution was providing a flanking bonus and being a cleave-enabler for the demon
