Is there a feat or combination of feats (exalted or no) that would allow a VoP Druid to either share his Vow with his Companion, or perhaps just directly share supernatural effects in the same manner that he could share spells?

Technically, the Vow does not prohibit equipping one's animal companion, but I don't think that's fair. On the other hand, druids normally do spend a certain percentage of their income on armoring and boosting their Companion, which a VoP druid would not be able to do, leaving them at something of a disadvantage.

Not that Druids require more advantages, I grant...

I'd work with the DM, and say something like 10-25% of all income you would recieve you can spend on your companion. The rest must be given up.

Thank you for that elucidating answer... ;)

I suppose that I should have prefaced this with the fact that my DM is running a VERY high-power game, and has allowed me - with full awareness and understanding - to play a Planar Sheperd.

I was thinking something fairly minor, like perhaps 1/2 strength pon all numeric values, and account for the Animal Companion's level when dealing with companions acquired at later levels... so for instance a 12th level druid's Ghost Tiger (a level 7 companion) would only have VoP features of a 5th level PC, and even then only at 1/2 strength.

I would also not allow the companion to have its own bonus Exalted feats
