Yeah, pretty much.
Okay, I just want to tie up some loose ends so everyone's on the same page as me (and yes GawainBS is correct on what happens to ToB classes).
ToB classes have to get ancestral weapons which harness, or release their power. Why they can't just have weapons of legacy, I don't know. I've even brought it up, but the DM hasn't given final say yet. I'm going to see if the player can't possibly get the Ancestral Relic feat at 6 HD. I'm sure it'll get denied though.
You CAN have familiars, companions, feats that gives them, improve them, etc. However, it's recommended that you don't. We're in the middle of a war. Food costs twice as much as anything else because there's so little of it. Not to mention inns make you pay extra because warlords and their cronies have been trashing the rooms lately. This means that not only do you have to pay money to eat, sleep, and live, but you must also do the same for your pet. That, and you must conform to all the bi-laws of the city you're in regarding animals. Say you're a ranger or urban druid, and have a wolf. It's not sleeping in the same room as you. That's not allowed. They have to get their own room. That's an extra expense. They eat. Chances are you're going to get your wolf a steak as per the PHB. You start to do that every day, that adds up. Especially at double cost. You want to hunt for you food? Well, that's splitting the party up, and that's quite dangerous. You may not come back. Not only that, it could be against hunting season to go after certain game, and you get a fine. Then there's the fact that you need a high level of Handle Animal because something might spook them, or cause them to get vicious and attack. You have to be able to calm them down, or face prosecution. And you can't have "magical" familiars until a much higher level, like elementals, and even then that's going to scare people because you're currently at war with the genasi. It's all about the research, and talking to the DM.
He's going to allow the saint for now, but I'm not holding my breath. He's already looking over every exalted feat to see what he can veto because of how "overpowered" they are. Nymph's Kiss is a definite no, even though I didn't even ask for that one. As for meeting the requirements of the sainthood, he's wanting me to sit down with him and go through Complete Champion to write out an extensive list of what I have to do and not do in order for me to get the +2 LA.
I've got him to budge on dragon feats so long as he gets a copy of the magazine, and can look it over himself to make sure there's no loopholes that I can exploit. He's already unhappy with the Improved Domain Power feat I asked for because he says it's too powerful, and is asking me to allow him to nerf it.
I'll let you guys know what happens after he and I work it out. I can't even ask you guys to help anymore because I have to build it with him there so he can go "yes" and "no" to everything. I appreciate the help you've given though.
