I think I'm set on cool cheese.  My guy is getting very french in his power level.  It's going over 9000.  I am going to post how this goes once we start playing it in a few weeks.  If anything guys think this, disregard disagreements or discrepancies and realize that despite your differences this is totally the character I wanted to play in fluff and power level so thank you for the help.  I'm at least satisfied with the good ideas.

I'd be willing to accept it as paladin casting of the level of cleric had at the current time.

Just FYI my DM seems okay with the battle blessing feat so long as I'm not breaking the game and making him work too hard.  Thanks for the tips.

How do I go about progressing cleric spells as paladin spells?

Another thing I wanted to ask from anyone is what kind of things are allowed to be done as swift actions?  Where does the RKV start to break himself by using swift actions?

I may go at that.  He is allowing some homebrew templates like Nephelum.  I'm going to have to think hard about this.  I may or may not drop that template or do something.  I'm sort of stuck on a fence here.  I want awesome rp abilities like some "I fly around check me out" but I want it to be legitimate.  I'm not sure on a race if I drop the template.  I have no idea....All I have is an idea for a character and no real solid ideas on how to make him happen. 

RKV is pretty cheesetastic as is, but the real question is, what do you want to do with it?  Gish?  Spellcaster?  You can have a ton of swift actions (btw, do nightsticks stack in your game?), but what you do with those actions is governed by what you want to do.

If you go with mineral warrior, you'd better be okay with gish, since you'll be losing at least 3 spellcaster levels from RKV and the template.  Unless, is there LA buyoff?

I imagine nightsticks stack if that can be interpreted at RAW and I can explain it to my DM.  I can drop Mineral Warrior because clerics are already so overpowered but I'd like to have a little "Brokenness" to fall back on.  No LA buy off.  [/quote]No level buy offs in the game but I can accept some negatives for more positives.[/quote].  I notice the race Synad is also an abberation so I can change to that to avoid a -2 cha for really mediocre abilities.  I'll never have the PP reserve to eat the damage that I could with a elan.  The thing I took mineral warrior for was the Heavy Heavy DR and the natural armor.  Here is a link to the one template I have to keep.

I'd be okay with Gish or spellcaster I just want a holy flying crusader who uses his divine might to crush his enemies.  This character is a body guard to a avatar like character and so he should be a powerhouse and be able to take damage for his friends when they can't eat it them selves.  That's at least part of his RP background and how I'm going to play him.

I've got this idea guys.  I want to be a holy templar of I kick your ass and then sprinkle holy water on you as you become purified.  I want this character to be so cheesy he is french.  Here's my idea and I would love it if everyone knocked their shoes off trying to cheese this out. 
Cleric X\Crusader X\RKV 10\Something else X
I have a template war going on in my mind.  I have this template from Dragon 307 called Air element.  I want a flying cleric of doom.  This template as outlined provides a fly speed of 100ft, immunity to poison, paralysis, can't be subject to critical hits, +6 dex, and fly by attack feat for free.  +0 LA requires me to be an abberation.  So I picked the Elan race because that's the only way I can make a good aligned (Neutral Good is my alignment) character and maintain the requirements.  So then I thought well why not apply mineral warrior before to boost up my damage immunities.  Well then I got stuck because I don't delve into templates as much as I want and when I do I can't find many GREAT resources on them. 
So my question is this, what else can I add to this character in order to min/max him to the roof.  I'm already taking some negatives from the templates I have now.  My effective Character level is 3 when I start so I'm already down a level.  No level buy offs in the game but I can accept some negatives for more positives.  Ok guys, cheese me to France.
