So here's some nifty Binder stuff, starting with racial sub levels for the ToM class, and then some new classes for use with or without ToM.Elf binder Hit Dice: d6[code][u]L  BAB  F / R / W   Special[/u]1  +0  +2 /+0 /+2   Soul Binding (1 vestige)4  +3  +4 /+1 /+4   Racial Weapon Bonus6  +4  +5 /+2 /+5   Soul Guardian (enchantment resistance)[/code]Class Skills (6 + Int modifier per level, x4 at 1st level): Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, Kn(arcana, history, nature, religion, the planes), Listen, Perform, Profession, Sense Motive, Spot, Survival1: Just like a normal Binder, but lower HD and more skill points. Way more. Why? Because lots of Binder stuff relies on Con, and thus an Elf Binder needs some love.4: Racial Weapon Bonus (Ex): Your racial weapon knowledge interacts synergistically with knowledge granted by bound Vestiges, which could grant you a bonus to attack rolls with Elf racial weapons (bows, rapiers and longswords, plus others at the DM's option).If a Vestige would grant you proficiency with an Elf racial weapon, you instead gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with that weapon. If a Vestige would grant you an attack or damage bonus with an Elf racial weapon, that bonus doubles.This replaces the bonus Feat you would normally gain.6: Soul Guardian (Su): Your bound Vestiges guard your soul in sympathy with your ancient fey heritage. At 6th level, you gain a +4 bonus to saves vs. Enchantment effects. This stacks with any racial bonus you already have, and replaces the immunity to fear you would normally gain.Half-Elf Binder Hit Dice: d8[code][u]L  BAB  F / R / W   Special[/u]2  +1  +3 /+0 /+3   Pact augmentation (1 ability), suppress sign4  +3  +4 /+1 /+4   Pact negotiator6  +4  +5 /+2 /+5   Soul Guardian (enchantment resistance)[/code]Class Skills (4 + Int modifier per level, x4 at 1st level): Appraise, Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Disguise, Gather Information, Intimidate, Kn(arcana, history, local, religion, the planes), Listen, Profession, Sense Motive, Spot2: Pact augmentation (Su): By taking this racial substitution level, you forever lose access to the Elemental Resistance and Damage Reduction options. Instead, add the following ability to your pact augmentation option list:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> +2 Insight bonus to all Charisma-based skill checks</li> </ul>4: Pact negotiator (Ex): You gain the Negotiator feat. If you already have that feat, you instead gain Skill Focus in any one Binder class skill.Additionally, your talent for negotiation extends to Vestiges: you gain a +2 bonus on Binding checks.This replaces the bonus feat you normally would gain.6: Soul Guardian (Su): Your bound Vestiges guard your soul in sympathy with your ancient fey heritage. At 6th level, you gain a +4 bonus to saves vs. Enchantment effects. This stacks with any racial bonus you already have, and replaces the immunity to fear you would normally gain.Halfling Binder Hit Dice: d8[code][u]L  BAB  F / R / W   Special[/u]2  +1  +3 /+0 /+3   Pact augmentation (1 ability), suppress sign4  +3  +4 /+1 /+4   Rider6  +4  +5 /+2 /+5   Soul Guardian (aura of courage)[/code]Class Skills (2 + Int modifier per level, x4 at 1st level): Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Kn(arcana, history, religion, the planes), Profession, Ride, Sense Motive2: Pact augmentation (Su): By taking this racial substitution level, you forever lose access to the Attack Bonus and Damage Bonus options.

You are immune to fear (as usual), but you additionally project an aura of courage which grants allies within 10 ft. of you a +2 bonus to saves against fear.Half-Orc Binder Hit Dice: d10[code][u]L  BAB  F / R / W   Special[/u]2  +1  +3 /+0 /+3   Pact augmentation (1 ability), suppress sign4  +3  +4 /+1 /+4   Pact persuasion6  +4  +5 /+2 /+5   Soul Guardian (bound rage)[/code]Class Skills (2 + Int modifier per level, x4 at 1st level): Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, Kn(arcana, history, religion, the planes), Profession, Sense Motive, Survival2: Pact augmentation (Su): By taking this racial substitution level, you forever lose access to the usual Pact Augmentation options.
