Turn it to someone who crusades for a deity, not the cause, and gradually allow them to get domains belonging to the deity. I'd suggest L4 and L7. Give them one domain with which to start, but also a bonus domain of Glory if good and Domination if evil; neutrals get neither. This also helps keep the chararacter in the class.The Divine Crusader isn't so much of a problem due to the entry requirement of BAB +7. Even at best you're looking at something like Wiz 3 / Ftr 4 / DC 2 before you start on MT levels  Add on MT 10 and while you're looking at 9th level divine spells, your arcane spells are only 7th level. And even then you only get one of each. This is the same as following the clasic Wiz 3 / Cl 3 / MT 10 / Heirophant 4 route.Where the Divine Crusader becomes problematic is if you allow it as a one-level dip, simply to get the spell progression then jumping to other prestige classes which add domains.</blockquote>
