Having a scimitar is kinda suboptimal, but the flavor of the race suggests he should have one.  I was thinking maybe a larger two-handed version, I think there was one in Sandstorm?  Of course, he has no reason to change forms and melee, so it might not see much use.   Any ideas? He has 7 feats to spend, 8 if needed (I gave my players a bonus starting feat with the understanding NPCs could get it, too).The party, if it helps at all (all level 7 gestalt):[sblock]Human Bard/Warchanter // Gladiator - Has homebrew cha-based fighter kit.  Bunch of White Raven goodies.  Best attack is on a charge, but can buff quite well, too.Whisper Gnome Cloistered Cleric // Ninja of the Sublime Way - my character.  Some ranged stuff, mostly just has godly AC and runs around to maintain it and recover maneuvers.  Will be mostly relegated to heal-bot cause I don't like the DMPC hogging the spotlight.Human Dragonfire Adept // Stalwart Sorcerer - Can't fly yet, but has plenty of ranged options.  Main offense is fire and lightning, so Bralani will frustrate.  Actually, "main offense" is fear effects, so I might want to boost will saves w/ feats, lest everyone run away 3 rounds in.Petal (flying pixie) Rogue // Hexblade - Can fly and SA, should shine quite well in the battle.  Fights with a custom exotic weapon "baseball bat."Aasimar Conjuror / Master Specialist // Factotem - New character, not sure exactly how he'll fare.  But has tons of summons, flight of the dragon spell, and factotem class features, so he shouldn't feel useless.[/sblock]EDIT: Should have said.  Assume any WotC book and dragon magazine is allowed.  I don't allow everything, but close enough.</blockquote>
