In a campaign where everyone gets regular wealth, it's good until level 6. Then it's average for about four levels before being a hindrance.
Turns out, lack of flight is a problem, along with the lack of versatility that magical items would have otherwise provided.
VoP isn't supposed to make an ordinary character powerful, It's supposed to make an otherwise unplayable concept more palatable.

Broken classes are like...
.. cheat codes. OK, I get full BAB, full spells, animal companion, good saves, why not throw in wildshape?
Posting the class here is a great measuring stick. If no one says "that class sucks," it is almost certainly overpowered.
On the other hand, players are often only motivated to add flavorful new classes, spells, items, martial arts, etc., if they have something to gain. There is nothing wrong with letting a new class be a good class, on par with say druid or wizard, as long as it is not insane compared to the other characters in your campaign. If one guy does it, it could inpsire other players to create their own classes as well. If you are willing to shoulder this burden as DM, you could end up with a very interesting campaign / party. Just make sure the players have RP reasons for the classes as well as power reasons.

Lightning Warriors are totally flavorful. They definitely trade power for flavor. I mean, come on, they can't even specialize and they don't get a familiar. Familiars are TANKS man, thats such a huge drawback!
Sounds to me like your player is trying to slip a Lightning Warrior under your nose.
