Creamsteak, I've got some question for you:
1) Would it be acceptable to advance in Knight of the Crown with a class, while advancing as Knight of the Sword with the other? Please?
2) What are mystics supposed to use as a divine focus? I found no mention of it in the book. They don't need it? And if they do, what is used to harness the Power of the Heart?
3) I submit these spells for approval: Ray of Hope (from BoED, page 105), Nimbus of Light (from Complete Divine, page 171) and Vigor/Lesser Vigor (from Complete Divine, page 186).
I ask about them for flavour reasons: the mystics tap into the force of life that is within all things, so IMO the slow process of Vigor spells, which boosts the life force of the target allowing him to heal on his own, rather than performing a miracle like Cure X Wounds spells, fits their concept better. Nimbus of Light suits very well my Sun domain, and I see it as a seed for the stronger Searing Light. Ray of Hope as I see it allows me to fill another creature with the comforting warmth of the sun.
Ray of Hope
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Good, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Apostle of Peace 1, Bard 1, Cleric 1, Emissary of Barachiel 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Close (25ft. +5ft./2 levels)
Target: One living creature
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
Powerful hope wells up in the subject, who gains a +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks and skill checks.
Ray of Hope counters and dispels sorrow (detailed in the Book of Vile Darkness)
Nimbus of Light
Evocation [Light]
Level: Cleric 1, Purification 1
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/level or until discharged (D)
A glittering corona of sunlight surrounds your body at a few inches distance - until you release it as a focused blast of divine energy. The nimbus of light glows like a lantern, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius (and dim light for an additional 30 feet) from you.
As a move action, you can coalesce the energy from the nimbus of light around your outstretched arm, and then as a standard action fling it toward a foe within 30 feet. As a ranged touch attack, the nimbus of light deals 1d8 points of damage +1 point per round that's elapsed since you cast the spell (max of 1d8 + caster level damage). Attacking with the nimbus of light ends the spell, whether the energy hits its target or not.
Vigor, Lesser
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Cleric 1, Druid 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Touch
Target: Living creature touched
Duration: 10 rounds + 1 round/level (max 15 rounds)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
With a touch of your hand, you boost the subject's life energy, granting him or her the fast healing ability for the duraton of the spell. The subject heals 1 hit point per round of such damage until the spell ends and is automatically stabilized if he or she begins dying from hit point loss during that time. Lesser vigor does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, nor does it allow a creature to regrow or attach lost body parts.
The effect of multiple vigor spells do not stack; only the highest-level effect applies. Applying a second vigor spell of equal level extends the first spell's duration by the full duration of the second spell.
Vigor
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Cleric 3, Druid 3
Duration: 10 rounds + 1 round/level (max 25 rounds)
This spell is the same as lesser vigor, except that it grants fast healing at the rate of 2 hit points per round.

Creamsteak, (hopefully this game goes on this long ) once I finish out the Knight of the Crown PrC, do I then have any restrictions on classes? I know for instance that we have to work towards KoC asap, and every level thereafter take either that or KoS once we meet prereqs, but I don't want to take levels of KoS and you need those for KoR. *sigh* If that made any sense (I'm tired, so it might not 
) let me know?

CS she's asking what happens once you finishs off the character’s advancement through the Knight of the Crown PrC.

It's pretty bad when I need a translator.

If you take all 10 levels of a Knightly Prestige Class, and don't move into another, your done with that. Your free to take 2 different classes. It's a long ways off, and at that level I really wouldn't mind if you were taking 2 prestige classes at the same time either. So you can take 2 core, 1 core and 1 prestige, or 2 prestige.
I'm not really fond of that idea. I'd rather you take levels in Knight of the Crown until you join Knight of the Sword, and then take KoS levels from that point on. What was the build you were thinking on exactly? How long were you thinking of doing this?
I'm not sure... I really need to thoroughly read the magic chapter before I read the game. If they cast spells like a cleric... I'm not sure if that implies a focus or not?
The only oddball one is Nimbus of Light. I guess it's fine. Unusual, but fine.

Thanks of the quick answers. Right now I'm a Fighter 4 - KoC 2 / Mystic 6. Hopefully next level I'd take my first level in KoS (if I pass my testsCreamsteak said:
), which would take the mystic place, and with the other class I'd resume taking levels in fighter, though, to represent my more knightly training, I would have liked to be able to advance in KoC. Not a vital issue, anyway, I only thought I could ask.

Well, I'd rather not do that then.
Also, the Dragon Rider is fine (either the DLCS or the Draconomicon versions).
