Soul Salvager (3.5e Prestige Class)

To attempt to unbind a vestige, the soul salvager must first [[Identifying Vestiges (3.5e Variant Rule)|identify the vestige]] in question. Once the soul salvager knows what vestige an enemy binder has bound, he can attempt to unbind it. In order to do so, he must be bound to that vestige himself, as he must be able to communicate with the vestige and request for it to leave the enemy binder. Since vestiges can't leave a binder of their own volition until the pact naturally ends, the soul salvager has to supply some sort of energy to break the pact. Thankfully, the soul salvager's patron deity can help him to generate that energy.
As a full-round action, the soul salvager can designate a vestige he has identified on an enemy binder within Long Range, which he himself must also have bound, and expend some of his divine energy in the form of a divine spell slot. (Expending a spell slot in this way is not the same thing as actually casting that spell.) This acts as a catalyst for the chosen vestige to leave an enemy binder before its pact has expired, causing the soul salvager and enemy binder to make opposed binder level checks as the pact tries to withstand the assault. The soul salvager gets a bonus on his check equal to twice the level of the divine spell slot he sacrificed to use this ability. (Note that this cares about the ''actual'' level of the sacrificed spell, ''not'' the level of the spell slot it was prepared in or cast with, and metamagic other than [[SRD:Heighten Spell|Heighten Spell]] does ''not'' cause a spell to be treated as having a higher spell level for this purpose.) The enemy binder gets a bonus on his check equal to the vestige's level, plus ¼ of its binding DC (rounded down); if he belongs to a prestige class which is devoted to the vestige (such as knight of the sacred seal (with the chosen vestige selected as the patron vestige), scion of Dantalion (Dantalion), or tenebrous apostate (Tenebrous)), he gets an additional +4 bonus.
If the soul salvager wins, the enemy binder's pact with the chosen vestige is broken, as if by the Expel Vestige feat. The enemy binder takes the full penalties of expelling a vestige with Expel Vestige (even if he has [[Improved Expel Vestige (3.5e Feat)|Improved Expel Vestige]]), and does not use up a usage of Expel Vestige if he actually has it.
