Dedicat Fighter (Or Holy warrior, or whatever)
I had a thought today for a generic holy fighter type for D&D and thought I'd throw it up for you guys and see what you think.
Dedicat Fighter
A dedicat fighter must have a patron god whom he serves, although he does not need to be a member of a specific order. Many such orders exist however and most Dedicats are part of one. The dedicat must be within one step of his deities alignment as a cleric.

Aura: A dedicat of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity’s alignment (see the detect evil spell for details).
Channel Power: A Dedicat may channel the divine power of his deity in the same manner that a cleric can turn undead. The dedicat cannot turn undead with this power but may use it in any other manner that a cleric could use her channeled power, including to power Divine Feats. The Dedicat must be holding his deities weapon to channel power. Channel Power may be used a number of times per day equal to the dedicats class level divided by 2 (round up) + Charisma Mod. A dedicat channels positive or negative energy in the same manner as a cleric of his deity.
Bonus Feats: The Dedicat may select any divine feat, extra turning (which provides 4 more uses per day of channel power), and weapon focus, greater weapon focus, weapon specialization and greater weapon specialization for use with the deities weapon only.
Divine Favor: Your Deity awards your devotion to it's cause by granting you a new power. Each time you receive this power you may select one from this list:
-Divine Smite: Expend one of your Channel Power uses as a swift to smite an enemy. Add your Charisma modifier to Hit (Minimum bonus +1) and add your class level to damage. The smite attempt will fail against another follower of your deity.
-Extended Blessing: If the bonus provided by a Divine Feat has a Duration, that duration is doubled. This applies to all of your divine feats.
-Blessing of Flight: Expend one of your Channel Power uses as a standard action to sprout wings as appropriate to your alignment and diety. These wings provide a flight movement speed of 40' with good manuverability. These wings last for 10 minutes per class level.
-Summon Deities Weapon: Expend one of your Channel Power uses as a swift action to summon a glowing copy of your deities weapon to your hand. This is a weapon of the standard type favored by your deity. It counts as a force effect. The weapon lasts for 1 round per class level, and has an enhancment bonus equal to your class level divided by 4. If it is a ranged weapon it generates ammunition as needed.
-Summon Holy Armour: Expend one of your Channel Power uses as a swift action to summon an ethereal suit of armour. This armour is a suit of Ghost Touch Full Plate with an enhancment bonus equal to your class level divided by 4. It lasts for 1 round per class level.
-Boost Blessing: All numeric effects of your Divine Feats are doubled, except for duration. This applies to all of your divine feats.
-Divine Adaptation: Expend one of your Channel Power uses as a standard action to either gain Water Breathing and Free Movement or Adaptation (as the Adapt Body psionic power.) This power lasts for 1 hour per class level.
-Divine Sight: You gain Dark Vision out to 60' and Lowlight vision. If you already posess dark vision extend it's range by 60'. You can also expend one Channel Power usage as a standard action to gain Detect Magic and Detect Alignment for 1 min per class level.
-Divine Resistance: Add a +1 sacred bonus to all your saves. As a swift action expend a channel power usage to gain Improved Evasion and Mettle for one round.
