Help me build my BF Pally

[MagicalDad]

So, my wife is about to TR into a BForged Sorc, so I was going to TR my fighter into a BF Pally to ride the TR train w/ her. Was going to go THF, since have both SoS and eSoS as well as a variety of other THF beaters. He will have 2x PL Fighter, 1x PL Barbarian, +5 in Wisdom, +4 in every other stat.

Trying make the following choice:
1. Go pure Pally 20, maxing PRR/MRR. 7 feats would be Adamantine Body, 3x THF, PA, IC:Slash, and Stunning Blow (no Quicken for Reconstruct - is that a problem?).
2. Go Pal15/Mnk3/Ftr2, gaining essentially 5 feats (lose Adamantine Body). This would allow me to get evasion, but lose capstone and a bunch of PRR/MRR. Wouldn't be able to be centered - worth it?
3. Splash 2 rogue levels instead for evasion, full UMD and some limited trap skills (that 30% bonus is nice now).

As far as stats are concerned, maxing STR then CHA and CON - do I need anything else? Since I am looking at 18/8/16/10/6/16 - is anything too low? Drop STR to 16 to buff up other stats?

As far as enhancements, Tier 5 in KotC, 16 points in racial to get Power of the Forge, rest in SD - should be enough to get +6 STR and +20% hit points.

Thanks for your help!

You may also want to consider pal 15 / wiz 3 / ftr 2: see my Divine Fencer thread. I went SWF+orb, but it's an easy conversion to THF instead: swap SWF for THF, drop the Shield Mastery feats, pick up whatever you like instead.

I've build a Human Pure Pally (11th life). It is by far the strongest build I've had on this toon. I think you can't go wrong staying pure. KOTC Capstone is not too bad.

If splashing fighter is an option, would you want to consider adding PDK as a race option? You would lose some of the cooperative element of having two BFs playing together which I think is a big factor (being able to have either player help the other out of a tight spot is important). You would also lose Recon SLA which is less of an issue for a paladin. You would in contrast dump the need for adamantine body and gain a level 1 feat. You would also gain access to Cha to attack and damage with your sword, racial heal amp lines, and more skill points.
