Associations
On taking his first level in the class, a Trissociate selects 1 Primary Association and 2 Secondary Associations. These Association selections are permanent and cannot be changed, barring special and intensive retraining (read: DM fiat).

Each Association gives the Trissociate additional Class Features which have been spread over 19 levels. Unless otherwise indicated, when the text or tables below indicate that the class feature is gained at a certain level, assume that this refers to the Associate level (which is not the same as the Trissociate level). For the Primary Association, the Associate level is equal to the Trissociate level. But for the 2 Secondary Associations, the Associate level is equal to the Trissociate level minus one (e.g. so the Class Features which are marked Associate level 1, only come in at Trissociate level 2).

In addition, each association also has a set of starter class features which are gained at Trissociate level 1, regardless of whether the association is Primary or Secondary. These start class features include (but are not limited to) adding skills to your Trissociate class list and bonus languages. Hence, on Trissociate level 1, you gain both starter and Associate level 1 class features from your primary association. But only starter class features from your secondary associations.

While the Primary and Secondary Associations have different rates of Class Feature progression, the effectiveness of a Class Feature is entirely dependent on the Trissociate level alone. E.g. if you pick Wizard as your Primary Association, and Sorcerer as one of your Secondary Association, then both your Wizard and Sorcerer spells will have the same Caster levels, which is equal to your Trissociate level. Although it is a Secondary Association, your Sorcerer spells will not suffer from any caster level penalty.

The Associations below are broadly grouped according to their "type", although this grouping is mostly for ease of reference and has little impact on how they interact with one another.

Progressive Wings
This is not an Association in its own right. Rather, some Associations in this section below grant wings in one form or another. These wings are not fully functional at level 1, but rather they develop progressively, similiar to the Wings aspect of a Dragonborn of Bahumat. Rather than repeat the description for each, seperately, they have been centralized here for convenience.

Progressive Wings 1 (Ex): You have a pair of fully formed wings, the description of which varies depending on your Half Blood Association. You can use your wings to aid your jumping (granting a +10 racial bonus on Jump checks).

Progressive Wings 2 (Ex): You can now use your wings to glide. You fly 20 feet forward, for every 5 feet of descent. You glide at your base land speed with average maneuverability. You cannot glide while carrying a medium or heavy load.

Your gliding allows you to negate damage from a fall from any height when you are conscious. If you becomes unconscious or helpless while in midair, your wings naturally unfurl, and powerful ligaments stiffen them. You descends slowly in a tight corkscrew and takes only 1d6 points of falling damage, no matter the actual distance of the fall.

Progressive Wings 3 (Ex): You gain a fly speed at your base land speed with average maneuverability. You cannot fly while carrying a medium or heavy load or while fatigued or exhausted. You can safely fly for a number of consecutive rounds equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1 round).

You can double this length of flight but you are fatigued by such exertion. You are likewise fatigued after spending a total of more than 10 minutes per day flying. Because you can glide before, after, and between rounds of actual flight, you can remain aloft for extended periods, even if you only use flight for 1 round at a time without becoming fatigued.

Progressive Wings 4 (Ex): You now have enough stamina and prowess to fly without tiring. You can fly at your base land speed (average maneuverability) with no more exertion than walking or running.

Progressive Wings 5 (Ex): Your flight speed improves to twice your base land speed, and you now have good maneuverability.
