One big combat affinity. I'd probably rule two separate _only_ for separate cults (like Humakt, Bab Gor, Orlanth).

>b) The Storm Feats he gets from Helamakt, do they remain as feats? Or does

Personally, I'd rule he doesn't get them initially, but could learn them as standalone feats.

That sounds reasonable to me. I'd be wary about letting someone do this _too_ often (e.g., I'm a farmer, turned warrior, turned ...).
