Someone who is good at character builds help me out with breaking this down. It seems like it is a pretty strait-forward type of character to build. It seems to have a LOT of splashover in terms of flavor and theme of concept. Caviler 5/Low Templar 10 seems like it would be one that would work out really well.
Low Templar requires surprisingly little conversion as well. The only thing I can see that is necessary is Dirty Fighting, simply convert that to a +2 unnamed bonus to CMB and the reference to feint on parting shot.
Your thoughts? Maybe a cool build?

Im not familiar with the templar, could u paste the flavor of it and highlight a few abilities?
It is from the Campaign Setting Guide.
Members of this prestige class, however, represent those crusaders who involved themselves in this holy cause for entirely different reasons. Under a sanctified veneer, they are greedy, grasping, treacherous, and often brutal as they walk a wavering line between heroism and thuggery. Some still hold the sparks of faithfulness within them, with remembered courage or the pangs of guilt or duty eventually leading them back to a true renewal of the crusading spirit. Others fall ever deeper into a dissolute miasma of drunken hypocrisy that betrays every false-mouthed piety they ever uttered.
They get a pretty interesting smattering of various class abilities ranging from favored enemy, sneak attack, and a couple of unique abilities that mask their alignment. They are the "by any means" type of class. They have several abilities that play off of this and their reputation as ruthlessness allows them some really neat free intimidate checks whenever he attacks his favored enemy.
They don't take penalties to his leadership score for various things that would normally affect him. His capstone ability (level 10) plays off of this as well as it lets him recruit a planar cohort that is appropriate to his alignment. Meaning a Lawful Templar could recruit an Axomite, Archon, or even devil.
There are various really interesting RP features they get as well.

I guess but I have a level 11 inquisitor and those judgements, +2d6 bane damage adds up, and freedom of movement and buffs are pretty good.
I think he just meant their levels won't stack with any casting class.
If you're all about being a caster, that's a problem.
If you don't care and are using the casting to support your fighting, then it's all good.
You are correct on the conversion points, the class is basically set up correctly.
As for a build, I would think you would want to specialize in a high crit range weapon like a critical focused fighter, dual wielding and applying the dirty fighting critical effects as much as possible. Even Two +1 keen daggers would be fine if you didn't want to get too exotic. The favored enemy, sneak attack, and dirty fighting all lean the class that way, imo.
