Apparently house rules are just fine when this player comes up with them...?This sounds like one of those "trust" issues to me... the player doesn't trust the DM to provide a fun time, so out comes the obscure build, the feats no one can find*, and the tug-of-war for control of the game. Symptoms of a larger problem, IYAM.* I don't know if lordphynix was paraphrasing, but I know that if I saw this:... I'd laugh at the poor fellow and tell him to find a feat that's actually in a published source, and that then I'd think about maybe possibly allowing it. It's not just the ability it confers that's broken....In the end, it sounds to me like a variation on a story I've heard before. My advice is the same: start talking. It's tempting to try and "fix" this by being sneaky/clever/whatever, but it won't work. Getting the deeper issues here out in the open is the only way to get them solved.EDIT: As to the original question, according to WOTC the 3.5 Tamer of Beasts *is* the Beastmaster (<a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20050110x" target="_blank">Rules Reference: Feats, Prestige Classes, and Spells</a>; at about the midpoint of the page).</blockquote>
