D&D 3E/3.5 paladin 3.5 maximum charge/smite build

[Empirate]

Mountain Tombstone Strike ist teh suck anyway. 2d6 Con damage? That's just 1d6 bonus damage per HD of the creature you hit with that. Compared to the more-or-less-similar Iron Heart capstone (flat 100 bonus damage), this is worse in the following ways:

1) the creature you hit must have at least 29 HD to make 1d6/HD better than 100 on average,
2) "bonus damage expressed in damage dice is not multiplied on a critical hit" - this would seem to apply to ability damage, as well,
3) quite a few monsters are immune to Con damage.

It's better only in the following ways:

1) the hit creature's Fort save is debuffed by an average of -3.5. Not impressive,
2) there are a few (very few) creatures around that are vulnerable to Con damage and sport 29+ HD (Very Old+ Red Dragons, for instance), with a few more in Epic.

yes you are right its a waste but as the MTS the strike of perfect clarity can't be combined with a charge attack its standard action and that mentioned from the StreamoftheSky guy above

and any mount ideas for underground and dungeons?

While I agree with people who say their are better options than MTS, Belt of Battle from the Magic Item Compendium will grant you an extra standard action. Someone made a guide to using Rust Monsters as mounts, which might be interesting.

I like small Paladins on medium-sized mounts with a climb speed - I don't know, I just find the image great. Halfling Paladin sitting on a medium-sized viper that's clinging to the wall some 20' up? Awesome.

Also, practical with Battle Jump...
