Contemplative Prestige Class Converted

I am revising my Mahatma prestige class as an Exalted prestigious archetype and I like it more this way. But since the Exalted must share the same alignment with their deity, I kind of blocked myself since Angels is obviously LG but her order values Nature and so is obviously NG.
So I searched 3.5 PrC and found this in the Complete Divine handbook. A little here and there to make it compatible with classes other than the cleric and fill the blank levels, and here it is... what do you think? The only thing I still dislike is the high skill rank required!

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A contemplative gains no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new contemplative level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class. She does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if she is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If the character had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a contemplative, she must decide to which class she adds the new level for the purposes of determining spells per day.

Divine Focus (Su): Levels in the contemplative class stack with levels in any one of the following abilities that the character possesses from another class: blessings, channel energy, domain, inquisition, mystery spells, oracle’s curse, oracle revelations, shaman hexes, or shaman spirit powers. The character adds his contemplative class levels to his effective class level in one class of his choice for the purpose of determining the effects of the chosen class feature. No new class abilities are gained with this feature. If the contemplative does not possess any of these abilities, she instead gains one domain granted by her deity or philosophy, treating her contemplative level as her cleric level for the purpose of this domain.

Divine Health (Ex): At 1st level, a contemplative becomes immune to all diseases, including magical ones.

Slippery Mind (Ex):  Starting at 2nd level, when a contemplative fails a saving throw against a charm or compulsion spell or effect, she may delay the effect for 1 round and attempt a new save the following round, with the same DC. If the contemplative fails this second save, she is affected by the effect as normal.

Divine Wholeness (Su): At 3rd level, a contemplative gains the ability of healing her own wounds, as per a paladin’s lay on hands ability. She can heal a total of 4 points of damage for every contemplative level she possesses per day, which can be split among several uses.

Divine Favor (Ex/Su): At 4th level, a contemplative gains a bonus feat from the following list: Abundant Revelations, Channeled Blessing, Divine Communion, Divine Dignity, Divine Interference, Divine Protection, Domain Strike, Extra Channel, Extra Hex, Extra Revelation, Oracular Intuition, Potent Holy Symbol, Prophet, Prophetic Visionary, Quicken Blessing, War Blessing, any feat with “obedience” in its name, or any feat granted specifically by the contemplative’s god or philosophy. The contemplative must meet the bonus feat’s prerequisites, adding her contemplative level to her level in a divine casting class required to select the feat. The GM may add other feats to this list, depending on the faith or philosophy the contemplative follows.
Alternatively, the contemplative may choose a second spirit focus, selecting a different class feature from the spirit focus list (if the contemplative had more than one domain, she may select a second domain she possesses with this ability).

Divine Body (Su): At 5th level, a contemplative becomes immune to all poisons.

Improved Divine Focus (Su): At 6th level, a contemplative becomes still more versed in her deity’s works. She gains one of the following bonuses: an additional domain or inquisition among those granted by her deity; Extra Revelation as a bonus feat, plus the ability to select revelations from a second, different mystery; the mystery spells of a second, different mystery as bonus spells known; two additional warpriest blessings; or an additional shaman wandering spirit per day.
The contemplative must possess a class feature of the same name in order to choose a bonus. If she doesn’t qualify for any of the listed bonuses, she simply gains one domain granted by her deity or philosophy. The contemplative adds her class level to her level in a divine casting class required to select her improved divine focus (or in her highest-level divine class) for the purpose of this class feature.

Divine Soul (Su): At 7th level, the contemplative gains spell resistance equal to her contemplative level +15.

Divine Sustenance (Su): At 8th level, the contemplative no more needs to eat, drink, or sleep. She still can do these things if she wishes.

Eternal Body (Ex): At 9th level, a contemplative ceases to age. She no longer suffers physical ability penalties for aging (though she still receives mental ability bonuses) and becomes immune to magical age effects. Penalties she already suffered stay, and the contemplative still dies of old age when her time is up.

Mystic Union (Su): At 20th level, the contemplative becomes a living embodiment of her god or philosophy. She is forevermore treated as an outsider rather than her creature type for the purpose of spells and magical effects. Additionally, the contemplative gains damage reduction 10/her opposite alignment (or 10/magic if TN). Unlike other outsiders, she can still be brought back from the dead as if she were a member of her previous creature type.
