So I'm running a Scourge crown paladin and was just looking at late game capabilities. I am running with a sorcerer who twins haste on me and our barbarian in just about every big fight so I included that into my napkin math. I use a sword and board so my attack dice is a d8 and at 11 it will be 2d8 every hit. Now at level 20 if I'm hasted and have holy weapon on I would hit with 4 d8 every hit for 12 d8 a round, but if I blow all 3 lvl 4 divine smiles that would be an additional 15 d8 for a total of 27 d8, then I could blow holy weapon for an additional 4 d8 for 31 d8 in one round? With my radiant consumption and a 20 str with the +1 sword I already have that a potential 31 d8 + 24 piercing + 30 radiant? Or 34 d8 if its fiend or undead? That cant be right can it?

Sure it can. And if you crit, that is 2-7 more d8s. But this drains your resources quickly.
