http://www.dndsheets.net/view.php?id=62065
this is my first character above level 5
i can still adjust almost anything in my character(ability scores, skills) besides my weapon and my armor at this point and my dm will let me use any book within reason.

Fist of Raziel comes to mind specially if you are allowed to get Charging Smite from PHB2. Hellreaver is not a bad idea, though. What about Crusader? Not a Prestige Class but it serves really nice for tanking and healing.

If you want to be a healing Paladin look into the Divine Spirit ACF from Dungeonscape.

Your character sheet has some issues.
Where are the extra spells coming from (War Domain 2/day, 1st level spells 3/day)? As a 5th level Paladin with a Cha of 18 you should only have 1 1st level Paladin spell/day. Weapon Specialization requires 4 levels of the Fighter base class, so how are you qualifying for it? You should have 7/day of Turn Undead instead of 6/day. Your Falchion attack bonus should be +10 (assuming BAB 5, +3 str mod, +1 weapon focus, + 1 magic implied by being a keen weapon) and damage should be 2d4+5 ( str mod two handed for 4 plus magic +1).

The Crusader might be another option. Crusader 5/ Hellreaver (Fiendish Codex II) 10/ Crusader (or something full BAB) 5 is an okay build, a better version would be Crusader 5/ Binder (binding Naberius) 1/ Hellreaver 10/ Crusader 4.

The domain spells are the result of a house rule we created. Everything else was either a typo or an oversight on our end so we (I) appreciate the insight and helpfulness. However, the additional bonus spell comes from an exceptionally high Wisdom, not Charisma. Thanks for the help.

PS. I'm his DM if you haven't figured that out by now. :smallsmile:
