If you go charging smite, you don't have enough smites - AND the smite damage stays pitiful - to make it count for something. Now, although AK is good in idea department, it is pretty bad in execution. All anointments are either bad, or come too late to make it count.Now, FoR is good, and I think THAT is the way you should go. It would make having charging smite (5th lvl paladin) worth it. But, you shouldn't go all the way through to the 10th level,as 10th level ability is not all that good. 5 levels here are more than enough for smiting, as 7th and 9th level smite improvement arent that great. Instead, go into:Hellreaver (Fiendish Codex 2). It drops spell progression, but gets lots of good stuff, like mettle, good will save, and super-sayan like divine fury that gets better as you level.To conclude, go for something like this: Paladin5/Fist of Raziel 5/Hellreaver 10 (not necessarily in that order). You will get good smiter and have fun abilities to boot, as well as cast very small number of paladin spells of 1st and second level (2 1st, 0 2nd with 12 wis, or 2 1st 1 2nd with 14 wis).</blockquote>
