I don't suppose if anyone knows of any feat or ACF that allows for paladin and crusader levels to stack for the purpose of determining smite damage (even if it means replacing crusader's normal smite for smite evil). It doesn't sound like it'd be too much of a stretch for such a feat or ACF to exist.

Looks like it's going to have to be homebrew. Thanks, mate.

INSPIRED SMITE [GENERAL]
Your ability to smite your opponents is enhanced. You are capable of using your smites as if they were maneuvers, drawing from the same source from which you draw the inspiration for maneuvers from the Devoted Spirit discipline
Prerequisites: Smite class ability, three Devoted Spirit maneuvers, one Devoted Spirit stance
Benefit: If you have the ability to smite an opponent with a melee attack (such as the smite good/evil class abilities, or the smite ability granted by the Destruction domain), you may now use the ability a number of times per encounter equal to the number of amounts you would have used it per day. If the smite ability affects only a particular group of opponents, you still affect those creatures only. The extra damage dealt by your smite ability is equal to your class level or your initiator level, whichever is higher. This ability applies to any smite ability the character acquires.
For example, if a 5th level paladin/1st level crusader/1st level cleric of St. Cuthbert with the Destruction domain chooses this feat, she may use her smite evil ability from the paladin class two times per encounter, and her smite ability from the destruction domain once per encounter. The extra damage she deals with her smite evil is 5, but the damage she deals with her smite ability is 4 (because her initiator level is four).
Normal: you can only use your smite ability a number of times per day determined by your class. The amount of damage dealt by the smite ability is based on your class level.
Special: if you also have the Aligned Strike feat, you may use one of your daily Aligned Strike uses with the smite attempt. The smite attack may only affect evil creatures; if successful, the smite deals damage equal to your character level, as well as the benefits of both the smite and the Aligned Strike feat.


This isn't quite what you are looking for, but I think it's neat. If you follow the quote, it leads to a collection of ToB feats intended for multiclassed initiators by TG Oskar, who is an excellent homebrewer.
