Hey folks! Back again, and this time with an expanded number of options to make smiting the wicked all the more fun. Some of these feats are rather old, though, and likely require some better wording. I hope you'll forgive me on that. Well, look them over, see what you think! Some of them are quite the odd ducks.
Now, while many of the feats are geared towards paladins, they can be used by any creature with the ability to make a Smite attack, such as Blackguards, Clerics with the Destruction Domain, and Celestial/Fiendish creatures. When a feat mentions "Smite Attack Bonus," it means Charisma Bonus for Paladins, +4 for Clerics of the Destruction Domain, etc. "Smite Damage Bonus" is essentially your class level in whatever class grants you your Smite ability; each +1 per level, but not any additional d6s from feats for anything.
Whaler’s Smite [General]
Through dedicated training, you have learned how to effectively combine the special properties of the harpoon with your divine power.
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (Harpoon), Point Blank Shot, Base Attack Bonus +6, Ability to Smite
Benefit: You may make a Smite attempt as part of a ranged attack with a harpoon. You add your Charisma bonus (if any) to the Reflex save DC for your harpoon to stick into your opponent, but not the bonus damage from your smite.
Additionally, as long as your harpoon is stuck in an opponent and you are holding the attached rope, you may channel a smite attempt through the rope. Your opponent takes damage equal to the bonus damage inflicted by your Smite, and you add your Charisma bonus (if any) to your Strength checks to control the target for 1 round. Your opponent must be susceptible to your Smite power for this ability to work.
Reaper’s Smite [General]
You help harvest souls with your divine power.

You no longer gain the ability to Rebuke Undead from your Dread Necromancer class levels. Instead, you gain the ability to Turn/Destroy Undead. Levels of Dread Necromancer stack with levels of Paladin for the purpose of Number and HD of Undead that you can Turn or Destroy.
Your Charnel Touch ability no longer heals undead. However, it still harms living creatures; Charnel touch now uses pure divine energy instead of Negative energy. Both your Paladin levels and your Dread Necromancer levels stack for the purpose of determining the damage bonus on your Charnel Touch ability.
Your Negative Energy Burst ability now deals positive energy damage. This means that it heals living creatures in the area, but harms undead. It is otherwise unchanged.
You no longer gain the Undead type at 20th level of Dread Necromancer. Instead, you gain the Outsider type, Darkvision out to 60 feet, and immunity to Electricity and Petrification. Unlike most creatures of the Outsider type, you retain a soul separate from your body, allowing you to be raised and resurrected normally.
Your Paladin Levels and Dread Necromancer levels stack for the purposes of Smite bonus damage and how much you can heal with your Lay on Hands ability. When you reach 7th level in Dread Necromancer, you do not gain the ability to summon a familiar; instead, your Paladin and Dread Necromancer levels stack for the purpose of special abilities and bonus HD for your Special Mount class feature. You do not gain the ability to summon a Special Mount unless you are a 5th level Paladin.

Any of the spells on your Dread Necromancer spell list that animate, create, or summon undead instead create creatures of the Undying type. They gain the [Good] Descriptor. The creatures created are of Good alignment and of the Undying type, but are otherwise the same.
You no longer gain the ability to Rebuke Undead from your Dread Necromancer class levels. Instead, you gain the ability to Turn/Destroy Undead. Levels of Dread Necromancer stack with levels of Paladin for the purpose of Number and HD of Undead that you can Turn or Destroy.
Your Charnel Touch ability no longer heals undead. However, it still harms living creatures; Charnel touch now uses pure divine energy instead of Negative energy. Both your Paladin levels and your Dread Necromancer levels stack for the purpose of determining the damage bonus on your Charnel Touch ability.
Your Negative Energy Burst ability now deals positive energy damage. This means that it heals living creatures in the area, but harms undead. It is otherwise unchanged.
You no longer gain the Undead type at 20th level of Dread Necromancer. Instead, you gain the Outsider type, Darkvision out to 60 feet, and immunity to Electricity and Petrification. Unlike most creatures of the Outsider type, you retain a soul separate from your body, allowing you to be raised and resurrected normally.
Your Paladin Levels and Dread Necromancer levels stack for the purposes of Smite bonus damage and how much you can heal with your Lay on Hands ability. When you reach 7th level in Dread Necromancer, you do not gain the ability to summon a familiar; instead, your Paladin and Dread Necromancer levels stack for the purpose of special abilities and bonus HD for your Special Mount class feature. You do not gain the ability to summon a Special Mount unless you are a 5th level Paladin.
Undying Mount [General]
Your mount is a creature of positive energy: an Undying.
Prerequisites: Special Mount class feature, Charnel Touch class feature, Dread Knight
Benefit: Your mount gains all of the benefits of the Undying type. It loses its Constitution Score, but all of its HD and bonus HD are d12s. Base Attack Bonus, Skill Points, and Saves remain the same as the original creature type.
