The ends justify the means...

Hellbred Paladins can cast any Sanctified or Corrupt spells.

If they take a feat (Heretic of the Faith), they can stretch their class-based vows to essentially allow them to USE the above Corrupt spells (properly speaking, if you make extreme force allowable vs. evil people...)

Now, combo this with Battle Blessing, and smile (note: I know some people (Kell, I'm looking at you) say that Battle Blessing affects spells gained through Prestige Paladin. I don't agree with this position.).

I especially love having Absorb Knowledge and Absorb Strength on a Paladin. I really do.

"Thurdon, what are you doing?"
"Eating this orc's brain."
"Why?"
"To gain its knowledge, duh. Don't worry, Pelor is OK with this."

And that, my friends, is your average Paladin of Pelor. Grab a level in Binder, and go ahead and HEAL away that Sanctified damage as it tears its way through your unholy, technically undead flesh.

I dig.  I even find it bona fide interesting.  My only problem is that Paladins get so few spells, making anything that experiments w/ or hinges on their spellcasting rather tepid.  Maybe I should scour or write-up a homebrew Mystic Paladin type of thing, something w/ more casting than a Paladin (so it can be a significant part of the character) w/out going full-bore "I'm really a cleric" like a Prestige Paladin. 

Any other good spells to work w/ this?

I thought a Paladin of Pelor was like BURN IN HELL! and DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS IN FIRE!. You know, given the BURNING HATE theme and all.

Check out the Rewrite Compilation then...

And my Paladin gives them Bard casting (still all known) and an expanded spell list, plus more aura, smite, and alignment options.

And I have to say, this is indeed a flavorful little trick, though personally I must agree that Battle Blessing would apply to Prestige Paladin spells as well. In absence of that, however, this trick does get even tastier.

Thanks Ejo, I will look it up when I get the chance.  Though I'm playing a gold dragon supermount right now, which probably satiates my desire for good and holy smiting.  And, I have no problem w/ pimps. 

I rule that Battle Blessing only applies to spells form the Paladin list that a Prestige Paladin uses, rather than every cleric, etc. spell that they cast.  I don't know if that's different than what others are saying here.

How well would it work with Knight of Mystic Fire\Sword of the Arcane Order?

[bkdubs123]

Doesn't this ONLY work on Sanctified spells? Corrupt Spells aren't on the Paladin spell list.

[Nemo]

If I remember correctly, any character who casts prepared spells can use corrupt spells. Corrupt spells are specific to no character class.

Fangs of Vampire King looks cute. Can you use them as every other bite attack? You know, as a part of full attack and stuff?

Ah, yes. You're correct. My reading tech needs work. Carry on!

[Nemo]

Serpents and Fangs are really fun and Party-WTFinducing . Are there any good spells that can grant us, like...more natural attacks ?

[Amechra]

There is that Paladin ACF that gives you claw attacks; it even has a sun-based flavor!
