Binder
A Binder is a type of mage which uses arcane magic to bind the soul (or essence)of a creature (Normally a Elemental or Outsider) to a receptacle. This receptaclecould be a inanimate construct, a weapon or armor, a creature, or even a place.These binding's cause anomalies to effect the receptacle.
Making a Binder
A Binder is normally a controller, in the back commanding his summoned andbound creatures. But when it comes to close quarters they can normally use aweapon with a creatures bound to it. At higher levels they can actually createtheir own guards in the form of Golems.
Abilities: Their major abilities are all mental. Their Intelligence determines thehighest spells they can cast. Charisma allows them to convince beings to doservice at lower costs. Wisdom decides your will power, and a high will save allows the binder to control boundcreatures better.
Races: Durzites are the most famous Binders, they are wellknown for their golems and their cities which"somehow" seem full of magical energy.
Alignment: Any, but it's hard to not be of evil alignment when your class abilities are focused on forcing creaturesinto servitude.

Like other spellcasters, a Binder can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base dailyspell allotment is given on Table: The Binder. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a highIntelligence score.
Unlike a bard or sorcerer, a Binder may know any number of spells. He must choose and prepare his spells aheadof time by getting a good nights sleep and spending 1 hour studying his spellbook. While studying, the Binderdecides which spells to prepare.
Familiar: A Binder can obtain a familiar as a Wizard.
A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have only one familiar at a time, but the classesstack for the purposes of determining the power of the Familiar.
Spellbooks: A Binder must study his spellbook each day to prepare his spells. He cannot prepare any spell notrecorded in his spellbook, except for read magic, which all Binder can prepare from memory.
A Binder begins play with a spellbook containing all 0level Binder spells plus three 1stlevel spells of yourchoice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the Binder has, the spellbook holds one additional 1stlevel spell ofyour choice. At each new Binder level, he gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (basedon his new Binder level) for his spellbook. At any time, a Binder can also add spells found in other Binder'sspellbooks to her own.
Gate Of Souls: A Binder can create a portal within creatures under his command and teleport them to aextraplanar dimension in the astral space between the Binder's body and their soul. A Binder can as a full roundaction teleport three bound creatures or his familiar to the Gate of Souls. Or a Binder can as a full round actionteleport two bound creatures or his familiar anywhere within 20 ft of the Binder from the Gate of Souls. The Gateof Souls is infinite in size and has the timeless trait.
Binding Circle: A Binder of 2nd level or above can create a binding circle. This is an nonmobile ring which aBinder can create as a fullround action. A binder can only create one Binding Circle per day. A Binding Circle isinvisible to all except for the Binder who created it, until activated. If a creature that the Binder can enter a pactwith enters a Binding Circle it activates. Once activated the creature can't exit the circle by normal means. ABinding Circle can be dispelled at anytime be the Binder that created it, or by a third party casting Dispel Magic orsimilar spells. A Binder can only have a number of binding circles equal to his Binder level in existence at onetime. A creature can try and escape the circle once every hour. To escape it must succeed on a Will Save (DC=10+ Effective Binder Level + Wisdom Modifier). If it succeeds on the escape it returns to its home plane ofexistence.
You can trap summoned creatures in the Binding Circle but they only remain inside the circle one day or the spellsduration (Whichever is longer), if a Binder hasn't successful made a Binder's Pact with the summoned creaturewithin the allotted escape time, it immediately escapes (No save required). If the Binder succeeds on a Binder'sPact within the duration, the summoned creature must remain until the Pact has ended.
Once a creature is bound or escapes then the circle disappears. If not dismissed or used (by successfully binding acreature or the creature escaping) the circle will last indefinitely.
Binder's Pact: A Binder of 2nd level of above can enter a Pact with creatures trapped inside a Binding Circle. TheBinder can only make a pact with creature he can bind. A Binder can only Bind up to his Binder Level + his WillSave in Hit Dice at at time.
The Binder is then free to talk with the trapped creature. He can then try to convince a trapped creature to do theBinding willingly. This generally results in a bargin between the creature and the binder. The cost can be gold,souls, a deed in return, experience and more. The exact details depend on the trapped creature and the pact so the

Campaign Information
Playing a Binder
Religion: They normally worship the Moons of Magic which grant them the power to do their Binding.
Other Classes: They can normally relate well to conjurers. Warlocks seem to find a kinship with these Binders.Druids normally antagonize Binders saying its not natural to force a creatures soul into other things.
Combat: In combat they normally sit back and command their servants. They aren't good in direct combat as theyhave no combat spells or abilities. They eventually will create guards of their own by binding Elementals andoutsiders to them or creating golems.
Advancement: As a caster it generally a bad choice to multiclass. But the following Prestige Classes are designedfor the Binder: Golem Forger of the Durzites, Infuser of the Crown, and Keeper of the Bound Souls.
Binders in the World
“ I really don't see how my creating mindless undead is evil, but forcing an elemental into servitudein a body of stone isn't. ”
—Naïlo, Newesti ExDruid/Necromancer/Palemaster
The Binders are famous for creating cheap magical items, and are the only makers of Golems. They are sometimesmerchants selling these goods to people.
Daily Life: The life of a Binder is one forsaken by Karmainian society. As the daily duties of a Binder require theslavery of a sentient creature. This is especially true in the creation of Golems.
Notables:

Nordake (Durzite Wizard 15/ Binder 20) was the first to discover the ways of the Binder.Evon (Newesti Binder 18) creates colossal golems out of wood to protect the Newesti Homeland.Amber (Karmainian Binder 14) Created a golem with true sentience while still being under her control.
Organizations: The Crown of Mages allows Binders into their midsts. They have many resources that would be ofgreat help to any Binder. They even have class on Binding.
NPC Reactions: Most commoners will think a Binder is just a wizard. Until they see binding in action or aGolem. Most people veiw Binders with suspicion as they normal summon demons, and devils (but normally forgetabout Angels, Archons, and Guardinals). They also fear that they might be the Binders next victum.
