How would you make the shining blade of Heironeous?

After looking at the complete divine and then at a book holding many of the PrCs, with a different twist to them I found that this class is one of those that is highly underpowered. In the fix I saw of it it gains the ability to smite 4/per day, but can only uses its ability on its weapon 3 times per day. The capstone being turning into a celestial, which is very weak in my opinion. So has anyone tried to fix this PrC before or anyone have any suggestions on how it even could be fixes?

Perfect fix is to Mind Rape the whole world and erase its existence from memory forever.

Put him in a campaign where paladins are considered OP. :smallconfused:

The fix is Pathfinder paladin, then do what Callin says and dismiss it as a bad dream.

However, fixes:

Full casting.

That is all you need. It won't be excellent, but a specialised cleric could use it for flavour.

Open it up to other gods and you might be able to have some hero who wields the weapon of his god. Make the enhancements a swift action.

Full casting would make it intresting to say the least. Good saves, good BAB, Good HP, and full casting dose sound great. Its just them blasted abilities.

In a book I found they replaced it to gain 5 smites/day, 3brilent energy/day, Celestial transformation, but kept the half casting. Do you think that is a good start as well as using the pathfinder version of Smite?

1: Return some of the casting (think 7/10).
2: Reduce the uses to 5/day at 10, but each use activates all 3 abilities.
3: The ability now also increases a weapon's enhancement bonus by +1/+2/+3 depending on if they have access to shock, holy, or brilliant blade.
