Just hoping i could get some input into a change to one of a prestige classes features.

The prestige class is Guild Thief/Shadow Thief of Amn's reputation bonus that increases your Leadership score.

Due to the fact I didn't consult my DM that i was looking at Leadership as one of my bonus feats from the class and him not mentioning he didn't want Leadership in the game we are looking for a mechanic to replace this increase.

Our thoughts so far are:

An increasing bonus on Charisma based checks against guild members or people who know I am in the guild.

Or A Skill trick instead of the increase.

Or perhaps looking at the affiliation Rules from the PHB2 and using the reputation rank as a modifier.

Anybody tried any of these or have any thoughts on whether any of them would be too powerful or not powerful enough compared to the original feature?

Thanks Veln
