A discussion of who can take them.
-
The first rule to taking an exalted feat is that the character must be good. Good tendencies do not count.
-
The second rule is that the character must be intelligent, which means 3+.
-
The 3rd rule is that any character taking an exalted feat must swear a vow (not the vow feat necessarily). This must be done in game and in story. The vow must be sworn to a deity or powerful celestial entity.
-
The 4th rule is that the feats give supernatural, not extraordinary abilities. This may have an effect for purposes of other spells (Anti Magic Field, Polymorph, etc).
-
The 5th rule is that a character taking an exalted feat gains an Aura of Good. This sounds nice, but is generally going to be more of a hindrance.
-
Our first house rule is that a character that worships a non-Good (good tendencies do not count) deity, cannot take an exalted feat.
-
The 4th rule is that the feats give supernatural, not extraordinary abilities. This may have an effect for purposes of other spells (Anti Magic Field, Polymorph, etc).
Is this a house rule or WOC rule? I'd adjudicate this on a case by case basis. For example I don't think Ajax or Solaris lose all their abilities in an antimagic field.

I agree
-
It is not a house rule, it is in the Exalted Deeds.
-
However, the Vow of Poverty lists each ability and whether it is supernatural or extraordinary in nature; so it is a special case.
Looking at the list, the following are listed under Vow of Poverty has supernatural in nature: AC Bonus, Exalted Strike, Deflection, Damage Reduction, and True Seeing.
The following are Extraordinary: Freedom of Movement, Regeneration, Greater Sustenance, Energy Resistance, Mind Shielding, Natural Armor, Ability Enhancement, Endure Elements, Sustenance, Resistance.

In reference to the tournament I don't think they should go away unless your whole body is in the field. Is for whatever reason your partially in the field then they should all stay
-
I think that is true, although I can't think of an instance where you would be partially in the field.
