Has anyone ever created some well thought out conversions to the faction benifts players got in the old 2e PS players guide?

I found some a couple years ago that were for 3.0 but after I actually started using them recently, I've realized there are a lot of free powerful abilities given to a pc who joins that faction. Apparently it wasn't created by someone who knew how to balance the power level of such abilities.

What do you guys do for 3.5 faction abilities for PC's?

Prestige Classes and Feats.

I'm going to try to apply the Affiliation rules from PHB II, and mix in Feats and PrCs.

Some (like the Bleak Cabal) look a bit harsh.

like everyone else: affliation rules from PHBII, which then grants access to feats and prestige classes based on the characters rank within the group. takes a fair amount of prewritting, but then it is all done to be used again.

I swear I thought I posted the link...oops.

These are the PHBII affiliations I meant to link to. Has anyone tested them? They seem nice but a few seem like they have some penalties that I don't think player's would want to deal with, like the Bleak Cabal affiliation.
