Planescope VII: Return of the Prime

And now, a taste of post-Faction War factions. I've been doing the revisions of the faction bloodlines, and the most pervasive one is that most now lack a Major level - they're just Minor and Intermediate. This helps me "concentrate" the more interesting abilities, and keeps them closer to the old feel of them. Hence, that's why most of the factions here lack a Major thread.

Mind's Eye

Character Level Minor Intermediate
2nd - +2 on Survival checks
4th +2 on Survival checks +2 on saves against Illusion effects
6th - Wisdom +1
8th +2 on saves against Illusion effects Remove Fear 3/day
10th - Seeker Affinity +2
12th  Wisdom +1 Direction Sense
14th  +2 on Search checks
16th  Remove Fear 3/day Alertness
18th  - Wisdom +1 
20th Seeker Affinity +2 Immunity to Illusions

Seeker Affinity: The Seeker gains the listed bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidation, and Perform checks made to interact with fellow members of the Mind's Eye.

Direction Sense: This grants the Seeker a +5 competence bonus whenever using the Survival skill to keep from getting lost.

Sodkillers

Character Level Minor Intermediate
2nd - +2 on Intimidation checks
4th +2 on Intimidation checks Power Attack
6th - Strength +1
8th Power Attack Align Weapon 1/day
10th - Sellsword Affinity +2
12th  Strength +1 Greater Magic Weapon 1/day
14th  +2 on Bluff checks
16th  Align Weapon 1/day Cleave
18th  - Constitution +1 
20th Sellsword Affinity +2 Killing Blow

Sellsword Affinity: The Sellsword gains the listed bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidation, and Perform checks made to interact with fellow members of the Sodkillers.

Killing Blow: When gaining an extra attack due to the Cleave or Great Cleave feat, the Sellsword may apply it to any creature in striking distance, rather than just another creature. The Sellsword cannot gain another attack from Great Cleave if he applies it to the same creature he applied his initial attack to (the attack that dropped the creature).

Sons of Mercy

Character Level Minor Intermediate
2nd - +2 on Diplomacy checks
4th +2 on Diplomacy checks Smite Evil 1/day
6th - Constitution +1
8th Subduing Strike* Discern Lies 1/day
10th - Martyr Affinity +2
12th  Constitution +1 Subduing Strike*
14th  +2 on Heal checks
16th  Discern Lies 1/day Smite Evil 2/day
18th  - Wisdom +1 
20th Martyr Affinity +2 Immune to Evil and Corrupt Spells

* If you don't have access to Book of Exalted Deeds, replace with Combat Expertise

Martyr Affinity: The Martyr gains the listed bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidation, and Perform checks made to interact with fellow members of the Sons of Mercy.

Smite Evil: This functions as the Martyr is a paladin of her character level.
