I don't believe Eric is using the rules for buying off LA from unearthed arcana. And even if he did the cost in experince would drop you to below level 24.

So far it looks good, though it be good to know how your bear warrior powers would actually work while trying to wear equipment.
From what I can tell by reading the FAQ, cloaks, bracers, amulets and rings are fine. As long as your new form could reasonably wear those items.
It be good to see the original stats for comparison.
Also with how the polymorph rules work. I'm farly sure you'd lose your mineral warrior racial traits while in your dire bear form. You are after all polymorphed.

However armor and weapons wouldn't work they don't resize or reshape for the wearer. Though with a 54? 58? strength in your bear form and a amulet of mighty fist you can still deal some serious damage. The Opposable weapon quality from masters of the wild could allow you to wield an axe, But you might have trouble charging and using leap attack on your hind legs. Or runing on all fours with a weapon in your paws. Might be why Opposable was never reprinted.

Another thing is I see at least 3 Base classes in there... could run into some multiclass penalties

[Lord Kain]

I see, what I think to be four warblade and four barbarian, his fighter levels don't matter as fighter is the dwarven favored class.

I asked Eric if he would be okay using LA buyoff. He seemed alright with the idea at the time.

If the Opposable enchantment is allowed I would definitely need Resizing on the weapon (and armor depending on how that would work). I would probably forgo armor and use bracers of armor instead. Also, if I need to lose the weapon I'd take out the Exotic Weapon Master PrC.

for armor you would give it the Wild quality or some varient there of as Wild armor only retains its bonus in Wild Shape. Although... Wild Shape is just a Polymorph Effect and I assume your Bear Warrior Bear Form is also a polymorph effect.

[Lord Kain]

The wild armor enchantment doesn't work with other polymorphing effects it only works with wild shape.
Using wild armor requries you expend two wild shapes instead of one. Wild Shape is an alternate form effect not a polymorphic.
We went of this back with my lycanthrope character. Y

Sizing is a simple +1 mod on your weapon.
