Greetings
One of my players is a Monk with levels of Paladin. He took those levels because he wants to be a slayer of evil - just with a martial artist feel instead of the standard knight in shining armour.
He's starting to feel the sting of multiclassing though (he is the only player to do so). Since he focuses on monk, he has only 2 levels of Paladin.. which means his smiting is.. not so good and it is only getting less as they advance.
So I'm looking for a way to give him smite evil. I have a mechanic all worked out - spend 2 ki points (maybe 3) to smite.
What I need help with is HOW to deliver this mechanic to the character.
It could be part of a Prestige Class.
It could be part of an Archetype.
It could be a feat.
It could be a magic item.
What would you choose? As a stand alone ability, I'm leaning towards feat or item. Specifically, I'm thinking about a mini quest in which he gains a mystic scroll... something like the Tomes or Manuals of stat boosting. I.E. he spends time studying then scroll and then he gets the power.
Thoughts?

Otherwise, just Power Attack (with a temple sword in two hands) like the dickens, relying on Smite bonus to attack to deliver the hits.

^That. It even has the Ki = Smite thing.

+1 Champion of Irori. In fact, there is a guide here that has some good stuff. Also, Bracers of the Avenging Knight will help with the multiclassing.
