There's also this very interesting thread on canonfire about her:

If you seeks stats for the demigodess herself there are none, but i would probably stat her as a human female Paladin 20/Knight 20/Divine Agent of Pelor 5

I assume you are trying not to use Epic rules, since Deities and Demigods didn't. 45 class levels is a lot, especially if you add in 20 outsider hit dice (more than Pelor then, he has 40 levels and 20 outsider hit dice). But as a demigod, ascended from mortal, you could argue she doesn't get the outsider hit dice (like Hercules, but unlike Iuz, who is an outsider as well, being a cambion).

In all though, I think 45 levels is too many for her fledgling religion. She hasn't been around long enough - I would go with 35 levels. Using only core, no epic progressions, no outsider hit dice, Paladin 20/Fighter 5/Cleric 10. If I was going with Epic rules for gods, still no outsider hit dice, but probably Paladin 25/Divine Emissary 10.

Well, actually, I was looking to use the new feats in Complete Champion with some type of holy warrior that was really adept at the dieties favorite weapon. The Holy Warrior Feat, and the gauntlets of War were to be used. The build would use possibly a little paladin and possibly pious templar. I would also definitely dip into Exotic weapon master for the Uncanny blow option. (but perhaps I should bring this part of the discussion to the optimization board).

Bottom line is that I wanted to create a holy warrior that used a two handed weapon, preferably a bastard or greatsword.

Well you could go with Pholtus - favored weapon staff! ;)

I thought Mayaheine's favored weapon was Bastard sword, so that would work. I don't think any good deity has 2-handed sword as a favored weapon. Iuz does.

Yup, bastard sword named Triumph. I forget the name of her shield.

Hey i have nothing against Epic Rules. It's just i liked a more divers build more. I'm of course using Dicefreaks Deity Rules, so no outsider HD for any god. (Though i think since she is ascended she would not get those with DDG rules either, right?) With DF's HD guidelines ascended demigods have 40-45 HD. Mayhap 40 would be enough.

I found that the Knight class fits quite well with her protective aspect and also helps differentiate her from the many other very similar good knightly gods.

BTW Kord has the Greatsword as a favorite weapon iirc.
