Seeker's Bond[]
A seeker chooses one of the following options and gains its benefits.
Bloodbond

- The seeker can shift as a minor action, rather than a move action, when not wearing heavy armor.
Spiritbond
- The seeker gains spirits' rebuke as an encounter power. Spirits' rebuke pushes and damages a melee attacker that misses the seeker.
- The seeker gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls using light thrown and heavy thrown weapons.
- Thrown weapons with which the seeker is proficient return to the seeker's hand after each attack.
- The seeker may use his or her Strength modifier, instead of Dexterity or Intelligence, when calculating AC when not wearing heavy armor.

- Death Arrow[PH3:131] - also requires Bloodbond class feature
- Seven Fates Archer[PH3:132]

Multiclass seekers[]
Characters who did not start as seekers and who do not already have a multiclass feat of a type other than multiclass seeker may select a multiclass seeker feat. Each multiclass seeker feat grants all of the following benefits:
- Training in Nature.
- Counting as a seeker and controller, in addition to the original class and role, for feat and paragon path requirements.
- Ability to take Novice Power, Acolyte Power, and Adept Power feats to exchange powers for seeker powers.
- Taking a multiclass encounter, multiclass utility, and multiclass daily feat (such as Novice, Acolyte, and Adept Power) for seeker allows paragon multiclassing in seeker instead of taking a paragon path. Paragon multiclassed seekers select seeker powers instead of paragon path powers.
The published multiclass seeker feats are:
- Primal Sharpshooter: Use of inevitable shot once per day. Use of inevitable shot is not regained when spending an action point. Use of one 1st-level seeker at-will attack power once per encounter.[PH3:193]
