Fiend Hunter Prestige Class(Fiendbane PrC Added)

Merlion

First Post
Well I've written a core class, some creatures, and a bunch of bleeping spells so I decided to try my hand at a prestige class. I think it came out reasonbly well.
This one is a fiend hunting prestige class for warriors. Soon I shall make a simliar class for spellcasters and post it in this thread. Tell me what you think
The BAB/Saves etc table wont paste into here right so I shall attacch it as a file



The Fiend Hunter
The Fiend Hunter is an individual who has devoted himself to finding and destroying those creatures who embody the essence of evil: Fiends. Through special physical and spiritual training and devotion they learn to greatly enhance their prowess against these creatures, as well as their ability to withstand their attacks. An individual must have battled and defeated the legions of the Lower Planes in order to be accepted into the training necessary to learn the Fiend Hunters techniques. Many are solitary, keeping their eyes and ears out for signs of fiendish encroachment. Some gather in bands or search out other adventurers to aid them in their quest. The same ones who hold the secrets of the Fiend Hunters for warriors who wish to eradicate the forces of darkness also train spellcasters in the ways of the Fiendbane, and it is common to see teams consisting of a Fiend Hunter and a Fiendbane in areas where lower planar activity is common.

Class Features:
All of the following are class features of the Fiend Hunter
Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
A Fiend Hunter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, all types of armor, and shields.
Detect Fiends :( Sp) At 1st level a Fiendbane may Detect Fiends at will. This is exactly like a Detect Undead spell accept it detects evil outsiders and extraplanar beings.
Send Away: One of the things that makes fiends difficult for users of magic to battle is their ability to resist spells. Through intensive training, a Fiendbane learns to bypass some of this defense. At 1st level a Fiendbane gains a +1 competence modifier to all caster level checks to overcome the spell resistance of a fiend. In addition, she receives this bonus on all dispel checks against the spell like abilities and spells of fiends, and to the saving throw DC’s of spells such as Dismissal and Banishment when used against a fiend. This bonus increases by +1 at every odd numbered level.
Holy Power: At 2nd level, any spell a Fiendbane casts that deals hit point damage deals and extra 1d6 points of Holy damage, to Fiends only. Even if another evil creature is in the area of effect of the spell, only fiends receive this extra damage. This damage increases by +1d6 at 5th, 8th, and 10th level.
Heaven’s Protection:(Su) at 2nd level, a Fiendbane may add his positive charisma modifier as a bonus to all saving throws against the spell-like abilities, spells, and supernatural powers of fiends.
Heaven’s Shield :( Su) at 4th level, a Fiendbane may add his positive Charisma modifier as a deflection bonus to armor class against any attack made by a fiend.

Extended Protection (Su) At 10th level, a Fiendbane’s Heaven’s Protection and Heaven’s Shield abilities also apply to all allies within 10 feet of the Fiendbane


I cant decide wether to give the Fiendbane full spell progression, or every other level.
