Expanded Bond feat

[JoelF847]

On this thread here, Maugan22 had a great idea of two new feats to allow characters with a choice of bond types (paladin chosing mount or weapon, wizard chosing item or familar, druid chosing animal or domain) to eventually get both if the spent the feats for it.

Jason B expressed interest in the idea, and since this is the section to discuss feats, I wanted to bring these up again for inclusion in Pathfinder RPG.

I've re-posted the original write ups of the feats below. It shouldn't be too hard to expand the text to allow for any class that has a choice of bond options.

Expanded Bond:
You expand your divine bond ability to employ both a weapon spirit and a special mount
Prerequisites: Paladin Level 10
Benefit: Whichever Divine bond ability you did not recieve at 5th level you now receive. This alternative is resolved at your paladin level -5

Perfect Bond:
Your bond with your deity matures such that both your weapon spirit and special mount are equally blessed.
Prerequisite: Expanded Bond:
Benefit: Both divine bond abilities you possess use your full paladin level.

I like this and the text should be made generic enough to use for all the bond available and others in the future.

Don't forget that the Ranger gets options for Hunter Bond.

Second Bond
Prerequisite: A Class ability Named X Bond which gives you an option between two benefits.
Effect: You gain both Benefits.

Expanded Bond seems like it would be okay. An ability at -5 character level seems sufficiently weakened.

"Expanded" is a little confusing though. I would call it "Aditional Bond" and let it apply to all of the bond-ing classes.

Perfect Bond sounds too powerful at the price of only two feats. It shouldn't be at more than -2 or -3 effective level.
