Serenity, 6. Practiced Spellcaster (Paladin) 9. Sword of the Arcane Order, 12. Battle Blessing, 15. Extra Smiting, 18. Awesome Smite.Serenity is from Dragon and would switch all your charisma dependent abilities to Wisdom. This would be better than Spellcasting Prodigy if you had an 18 in Wis. If that's not an option:Feats: 1. Power Attack, 3. Divine Might, 6. Practiced Spellcaster (Paladin)  9. Sword of the Arcane Order, 12. Battle Blessing, 15. Extra Smiting,  18. Awesome Smite.One of the issues I see with this build is that you get so few Smite Evil attempts per day, yet chose Awesome Smite. A feat had better be useful more than 3 times per day if it's going to take up one of your 7 precious feat slots. Extra Smiting helps, but it may be better to pick more consistently useful feats. Combat Expertise and Improved Trip come to mind.If you can get devotion feats by trading in domains, try to do so. She is Lawful Neutral, and the Law devotion feat is good iirc. Gives you a much better use of your turning attempts than Divine Might. Divine Might adds to damage, but doesn't help you hit things. Obviously, you have to hit things in order to deal damage... and hitting with one less BAB and STR 14 is going to be problematic.Law Devotion, however, grants a +5 to either attack or AC, which you can switch between the two.If Mystra's NG, take Good Devotion. In either case, maybe you should swap Str and Cha.Also, change your racial option.
