(Translation the DM could control this.)Another issue would be PrC but its simple to fix also...  If it's a combat PrC you need to have the focus instead of exotic weapons feat.  If it's casting, say like the heartwarder, you just need to quality with your BAB and you could skip the feat.Hows that sound?</blockquote>
