Thing is, I had perfect justification for asking for it. I was trying to bargain with a devil for the ability to slip into shadows at whim (and asking for a feat from a deal with a devil is a perfectly justifiable thing and is mentioned in Fiend Codex II about Infernal pacts). I was told by Echelon that I was allowed to bargain for it, so I did (I EXPLICITLY asked beforehand, "If you're just going to say no, then tell me now so I don't have to waste time asking for it." He said I was allowed to, so I went with it). Then he told me I couldn't have it because people would whine about the requirements, so then I asked if I could have a rebuild in order to solve that discrepancy and allow me to get the feat that way. It was decided then that that wouldn't be allowed.
I wasn't "begging for a rebuild to have 1 shadow dancer", and I'm annoyed that you think I was making some OOC power-building request, GBX. I understood that infernal pacts, as detailed in PnP, allow the person to ask for a feat. So, I asked for a feat. I asked ICly for it, and was denied it for OOC reasons. I was told I wasn't allowed to get the feat because people would complain about me not taking the pre-reqs. So then I suggested (key word here: suggested) the possibility, and suggested it ONCE (which is hardly "begging") to get a relevel in order to be able to remove the one level of pale master and take the one level of shadow dancer along with the pre-reqs. The suggestion was not because of making wrong choices during level up, it was a suggestion only of me saying "I'm willing to give up this class and give up feat slots in order to take the SD level if you don't want me to get HiPS for free from this pact". I was told no, that I could not get HiPS from the pact, either "free" (as if a character selling their soul for it is "free") or from making sacrifices to get it, and calmly accepted that answer, yet it seems that the situation is now being blown out of proportion.
