Do Any Paladins Smite Heretics?

[Palanan]

Is there a paladin variant that detects and smites heresy rather than good or evil?

For my purposes, “heresy” can mean either a narrow sense of variations within a doctrine, or a broader sense of treating all other faiths as heresies. The latter would probably see more use, but I’m open to anything that takes either approach, from any official Wizards or Paizo source.

The vigilante smites any one guilty of any crime the investigate. If they investigate "being an heretic" and this is a crime to the country/the church that is in charge, then they can smite heretics.

The shadowbane inquisitor can smite anyone they see as "corrupt", whatever that means.

Those are not Paladin variants, but I think they are the classes that fit best what you seek.

Divine Champion PrC (PGtF) gets "Smite Infidel", which works on creatures that worship a different deity.

[ShurikVch]

Claw of the Sun and the Ankh ACF (Champions of Valor) smites minions of Set

Corrupter (Dragon #312) - NE version of Paladin - have Smite Heathen, which works against any divine caster except those of the same patron as the Corrupter

[Thurbane]

As well as what's been mentioned, there are also some "general" smites that work on any creature (Destruction domain power etc.)

Here's a snippet from Lists of Stuff, in case it helps:

The crusader and pious templar both have a smite you can use on anything. You could choose to apply it in any thematic way that you want. If you want literal paladin stuff in your build, maybe you could fit in 3 levels of prestige paladin?

[Particle_Man]

Not a paladin, but rangers have a variant (urban ranger) where their favoured enemies can be organizations. That could include a particular heretical group, I imagine.

[Rynjin]

Divine Champion PrC (PGtF) gets "Smite Infidel", which works on creatures that worship a different deity.

For Pathfinder, the Divine Champion Warpriest gets a similarly themed "Know the Infidel" ability that works essentially as "Favored Enemy: Followers of this deity".

I could have sworn there was a Pathfinder class that got a literal "Smite Heretic" ability but I can't for the life of me find it. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it before, but I just can't get it to come up.

Edit: Oh and of course the Gray Paladin can Smite ANYONE for two uses, but you lose like...everything else that makes you a Paladin, pretty much.
