[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 7900196, member: 170"] A Sorcadin like a Paladin 2/Divine Soul Sorcerer X would have access to Paladin Smites which do Radiant damage, many more spell slots and higher level spell slots to burn for Smiting than a pure Paladin, and access to all of the Cleric's various Radiant damage spells to boot. So that gets my vote for overall best Radiant damage dealer. (Paladin 6/Divine Soul Sorcerer X is another good division of levels for a Sorcadin, for a bit more Paladin abilities and melee capability in exchange for a bit less spellcasting and smiting than a 2/X split.) Make it a Protector Aasimar or Scourge Aasimar for a bit of additional racial Radiant damage. Another option would be a Light Cleric, whose Channel Divinity Radiance of the Dawn does AOE Radiant damage, and who also has access to the various Cleric Radiant damage spells. Or there are Sun Soul Monks, whose Radiant Sun Bolt means you are able to do Radiant damage with each of their Attacks. And with each attack doing Radiant damage, they might even be able to edge out the Sorcadin for highest total overall points of Radiant damage in a day, although it's spread out over numerous smaller amounts of Radiant damage.
