If you he knows you're going bear warrior than maybe you could convince him to let you use one of the Fangshields Ranger sub levels from Champions of Valor:
Fangshields Ranger Substitution Levels (CV, p 41): nonhumanoid, add Diplomacy
2nd level: Combat Style (Multiattack or Improved Natural Attack (single natural weapon), Weapon Focus (any natural weapon), Weapon Focus (any other natural weapon), or Greater Weapon Focus (single natural weapon))
Then you can get Ranger skills and two good saves (and your combat style will eventually be useful). Will saves will always be a problem since the only class that gives good BAB and Will saves is the Knight, and that doesn't really fit your concept well. At least rage gives a +2 bonus which helps a little.
