DC 15 Long in the past a large mining consortium had a problem.  They wanted the mine too be profitable, so they skipped safety measures.  Cave-in's became inevitable, costing them large swathes of their Dekanter slaves when they died trapped underground.  So they had magic items designed that would allow for the survival of their slaves taskmasters (who would presumably use them to save their charges). 
DC 20  It worked fairly well for the mining companies for some time.  At least until escaped slaves brought word of the magic items back to the Goblin military.  Their use in underground warfare was obvious, and the slave rebellion was on.
DC 25 The military eventually codified the first true sets of Miner Arrays, making small elite groups all but immune to cave-in's.
DC 30 A check of 30 or higher reveals the location of another piece of the set.

I added the prices for the three items in the miners array I have prerequisites for.  I think the DMG is full of it some of these are way too expensive for what they do.

also updating primordial way

PRIMORDIAL SHAMAN


   
"Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear."

 Primordial Shamans have some sort of connection to nature as they have realized they are more than a simple predator/prey animal.  Even after awakening many animals still continue to identify with those who are still beasts without considering the wider world around them.  While Primordial Shamans haven't rejected the natural world for civilizations set in stone they have definitely realized they are more than just a brute animal, and that the world offers them more than survival.

MAKING A PRIMORDIAL SHAMAN
 Primordial Shamans are mystics first, adventurers second.  This doesn't mean they can't be a great boon to a group of Awakened adventurer's.  Their healing and duffing abiilities make finding a decent (and willing) Shaman a focus of some parties.
 Abilities: You'll want a high Wisdom for spellcasting.  Dexterity and Constitution will come in handy due to your living in the wild and all, and not likely wearing any defensive armor.
 Races: Omnivores are slightly more common than predators and prey among the Primordial Shamans.  
 Alignment: Most Shamans trend towards true Neutrality.  Few venure towards Good or Evil or Lawful Alignments, and Chaos isn't really much more common.
 Starting Gold: Same as Druid.
 Starting Age: Same as Druid.

Class Skills
 The Primordial Shaman's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Geography, Nature)(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Search (Int), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).
Skills Per Day at 1st Level : (4 + int)x4
Skills Per Day at Each Additional Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d8

Code: [Select]

Transitioning (Ex): Upon taking your first level as a Primordial Shaman you may "exchange" your Racial Hit Dice for levels of Primordial Shaman.

Whenever you gain enough experience to gain a new level in Primordial Shaman you may exchange 3 more Racial Hit Dice for levels of Primordial Shaman until they have all been converted. If you have no Racial Hit Dice this ability does nothing for you.

Power: All of the Primordial Shamans abilities are based on his Power score.  Every time he uses one of his Supernatural Abilities he uses one daily use of his Power.  His daily uses of his Power Score equal his Wisdom Modifier plus his Character Level.  Unlike other Supernatural Abilities these use Wisdom as you're casting stat.  Caster Level is equal to Character Level.

Preternatural Reach: All Supernatural Abilities you may use that have a range of touch now have a range of Close (25 ft. plus 5 ft./2 levels).

PLAYING A PRIMORDIAL SHAMAN
 Understanding the world and your place in it is of utmost importance to you.  Politics and religion are of little importance to you, it's knowledge you are looking for (and wisdom too eventually).
 Religion: Primordial Shamans are sometimes prone to allying themselves with Neutral wilderness deities as they are seeking their place in the world.  The idea of a religion may appeal to them.  Most others tend to be reclusive mystics.
 Other Classes: Primordial Shamans are loners.  They don't like rabid bloodthirsty predators, nor do they love small minded fearful herd mentalities.  They will help others against common foes, or to prevent disasters, but otherwise are not team players.
 Combat: Shamans are not combat prone, and if it should happen they rely on their powers to defend themselves log enough to flee.  If pressed to the point it becomes necessary they will try spellcasting from a distance.
 Advancement: Advancement depends a lot on what the Shaman wishes to do in life, and what sort of path they choose to follow.  Most of them will focus in some way on their connection with the natural world, with some previous herbivores or carnivores using their powers to define their traditional roles.

PRIMORDIAL SHAMANS IN THE WORLD
"Have you understood anything he's said?"
 Primordial Shamans often fight with civilizations that burn or threaten the natural forests.  If left alone they merely pursue their studies to the exclusion of all else, and in the minds of some it is best to leave these sleeping giants alone.
 Daily Life: Most Shamans spend their time discovering and refining their abilities in the hopes they learn to greater discoveries.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Being dedicated recluses, Shamans rarely form more than temporary groups.  Some may join together if they were formerly herd animals out of instinct, some may form small schools to teach what they know, and some may join forces against a foe and remain together to keep watch for that foes reappearance.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's are often terrified initially because they assume you're a dangerous animal or monster, and slightly terrified afterwards because they can't understand you.

PRIMORDIAL SHAMANS IN THE GAME
 This class allows takers to trade in Racial Hit Dice for levels in a casting class.  That alone should scare you.
 Adaptation: Primordial Shamans work best in nature centric campaigns of Awakened animals, Magical Beasts, and wilderness races.
 Encounters: PC's will rarely realize they've encountered a Primordial Shaman as the Shaman can simply pretend to be an animal.  Usually they only make their homes in the most remote wild places.

Shaman updated.  Some of the New Feats hopefully plug some of it's weaknesses compared to similar classes.

Is there a limit to how many Bogun's a Druid can make?  The spell compendium doesn't say, ad I'm thinking of making a few 'empower Bogun' feats...

I don't think so. Really, with all the work you put into making them, I don't see why there'd be a limit. Other spellcasters get a demiplane for a week of casting; druids get a little nature servant that doesn't always listen.

I ask because the empower feats brings them up to animal companion or familiar level

According to the SpC they are pretty much a Druid homunculus and I would treat them as such, thus, no limit.

Bogun stats are up.  If you agree with LA I'll add the CR

PRIMORDIAL WEAVER


   


 Despite being often derisively referred to as 'beast wizards', Primordial Weavers are often Awakened Animals or Magical Beasts who have a strange innate talent for arcane magic, much more like Sorcerers.  Most tend to follow a Path of some sort that defines where their talents lie (or at least are most well developed).

MAKING A PRIMORDIAL WEAVER
 You'll don't really consider yourself an adventurer, more like a potential future power in the world.  Your unusual abilities will put you in demand still, because they'll be necessary to pulling off the schemes of those who can't leave well enough alone.
 Abilities: You'll want to make your Primary casting stat a priority as usual, and Dex/Con important secondary concerns.  Not that much different from other arcane caster types.
 Races: The majority of weavers by far are carnivorous or omnivore species.
 Alignment: Like most Primordial classes Weavers tend to begin as Neutral and shift through their career.  Unlike many they have a pronounced disposition towards Chaos and Evil.
 Starting Gold: Same as Wizard.
 Starting Age: Same as Wizard.

Class Skills
 The Primordial Weaver's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are....
Skills Per Day at 1st Level : (4 + int)x4
Skills Per Day at Each Additional Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d4

Code: [Select]
[b]   BAB  Fort    Ref    Will  Abilities[/b]
1. +0    +0     +0     +2    Transitioning, Power, Path
2. +1    +0     +0     +3   
3. +1    +1     +1     +3   
4. +2    +1     +1     +4   
5. +2    +1     +1     +4   
6. +3    +2     +2     +5   
7. +3    +2     +2     +5   
8. +4    +2     +2     +6   
9. +4    +3     +3     +6   
10.+5    +3     +3     +7   
11.+5    +3     +3     +7   
12.+6    +4     +4     +8   
13.+6    +4     +4     +8   
14.+7    +4     +4     +9   
15.+7    +5     +5     +9   
16.+8    +5     +5     +10   
17.+8    +5     +5     +10   
18.+9    +6     +6     +11   
19.+9    +6     +6     +11   
20.+10   +6     +6     +12   

Weapon Proficiencies: Primordial Weavers have proficiency with their Natural Weapons, but no Shields or Armor.

Transitioning (Ex): Upon taking your first level as a Primordial Weaver you may "exchange" your Racial Hit Dice for levels of Primordial Weaver. You may exchange a number of Racial Hit Dice equal to your Constitution Modifier for levels in Primordial Weaver at 1st level. Whenever you gain enough experience to gain a new level in Primordial Weaver you may exchange 3 more Racial Hit Dice for levels of Primordial Weaver until they have all been converted. If you have no Racial Hit Dice this ability does nothing for you.

Power: All of the Primordial Weavers abilities are based on his Power score.  Every time he uses one of his Supernatural Abilities he uses one daily use of his Power.  His daily uses of his Power Score equal his Wisdom Modifier plus his Character Level.  Caster Level is equal to Character Level.

Path:
 
PLAYING A PRIMORDIAL WEAVER
 For some reason there are many things in the world you find obvious but that others find simply amazing.  You don't understand but somehow they weren't born like you.  They don't think like you, and they will never attain the same heights as you.  You try not to fault them for their handicaps even if it does make them seem like prey.
 Religion: You understand the concept of Gods, just not religion.  You can see what Gods get from it as they're obviously some sort of energy parasite, but you have to wonder if the benefits their priests so unevenly dispense are a worthy exchange.
 Other Classes: You're a loner by nature.  Other casters are considered rivals.  Most everyone else is far too limited in their abilities and thinking to be considered an equal.
 Combat: You have the capacity for fairly unlimited power and you know it.  Combat is trivial and best handled by more expendable resources.  After all you're the backbone of any organization.  If you fall so will they.
 Advancement: Advancement depends largely on the path you have chosen and the view you inherited from your original species.  Ambush predator weavers tend to have much different abilities than apes for example.

PRIMORDIAL WEAVERS IN THE WORLD
"Ain't nuthin' you can say will make me go to that jungle.  Nuthin'."
 You're a giant monster who can use magic.  You can pretty well guess how well that flies.  Or maybe you're just an animal.  How unsettling is a rabbit who can cast Phantasmal Killer?  Not many people get you, and those who do you consider to be a danger to you.
 Daily Life: Much of your time is spent in study, and trying to avoid getting drawn into the schemes of lesser beings.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Being that you tend to be loners, rare is the organization containing a Weaver in anything other than a leadership or temporary role.  You hate taking orders too much for it to be otherwise.

NPC Reaction
 Most people never really get used to you.  You understand things they never will.  You can do things they never will, and socially, ethically, and morally you have no common ground with them.

PRIMORDIAL WEAVERS IN THE GAME
 Much like with the Shaman this should be one you consider carefully because of the Racial HD trade-off.
 Adaptation: Primordial Weavers work best in nature centric campaigns of Awakened animals, Magical Beasts, and wilderness races.
 Encounters: PC's will rarely realize they've encountered a Primordial Weaver as the Weaver can simply pretend to be an animal.  Usually they only make their homes in the most remote wild places.
