3 monk/7 cleric/10 sacred fist 10 hierophant advice needed.

[Calen]

I would like some advice with a build.
Currently the character is level 21.

Race: Tiefling
End build: 3 monk/7 cleric/10 sacred fist 10 hierophant

Feats:

Spell casting prodigy
Improved critical unarmed
Weapon focus unarmed
Extend spell
combat casting
Practiced spell caster cleric

For epic: Vampiric feast and epic gate, rest wisdom

Domains: Luck and darkness

Stats
12 Str
18 dex
12 con
14 int
16 wisdom>> 26 wisdom
6 Charisma


First question:

Hierophant I can either go smite infidel/3x spell power and gift of the deity.
That or go faith healing instead of spell power for killing undead and healing.

What would be a better option?


Second question:

At level 21 I can go 3 routes.

- Go for expose weakness and get 24 wisdom instead of 26
Basically I'll drop 1 AC and 1 DC for it.

- Go for 2 extra epic spells.
How ever it seems neither sacred fist or hierophant can pick Epic lightning storm/greater ruin or mass heal.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended.

My original intention was going for 4 epic spells.

- Pick epic gate and vampiric feast and stack wisdom.


Side notes: I do not have the belt that grands the feats Improved critical undarmed strike/ weapon focused unarmed strike.
Didn't even realize that it was in game

Alternative build for the future would be Thaumaturge instead of hierophant.

Stats: I would defiantly lower dex to 16 and either add it to con/int.


Suggestions are welcome.

Oddly enough, I started to create an almost similar half-elf build today...

Yikes, ELC with multiclassing experience penalty... But you can get through it if you soldier on, so you just soldier on!

As for your questions... Hierophant abilities: With all three divine Spellpower feats you should be able to reach caster level of 32, which grants you +1 spell DC. Thus I would pick these three feats no matter what, as for the remaining two abilities, I would pick both Blast Infidel and Faith Healing. Just because part of me really likes the idea of having 300 hitpoint Heals and Harms. But I have not tried out what the Gift of the Deity does, so this advice with a grain of salt. (Thus in your case I would lean towards 3 x Spell Power, Gift of the Deity, and Blast Infididel.)

There might be changes coming to Expose Weakness, but for now, it actually acts like a debuff to help your party. Thus, if you can see yourself teaming up with others with this character a lot, it would be a nice thing to have to help the party. If not, I would go for higher wisdom.

Best part of it all is that the ECL +1 is pretty useless haha, but I love rping the pc.
You can't avoid the exp penalty because of the 3- 20 rule.
But DM events help a lot ,along with patience.
I really like the idea of 300 heals as well, especially with the amount of undead around.

I think I'll pass expose weakness in favour for wisdom or epic spells.
If anything I don't want to RCR him for obvious reasons haha.
