Things chuck remembers about the faction..

Salesman : Merkhants recieve a faction bonus to thier Gather info, Bluff,
and Knowledge Arcana checks when it comes to buying/selling/identifying
magical items.

Identify: As spell, no component.

Vault: The merkhant has the Supernatural ability to access an extradimentional
space as a bag of holding. Excepting that only the Merkhant may access his
particular vault. A merkhant under any compulsion or charm spell may not access
his vault. Upon his death, all the items in a vault are scattered randomly
across the planes. Sizes: Vault1 - , Vault2 - , Vault3 - , Vault4 - 
(as bags of holding sizes in DMG)

Curse resistant: A merkhant adds his class level to save against curses generated
by items. This bonus also counts when making ego checks vs intelligent items.

Legend Lore: As spell, no component.

Slippery mind: Gains slippery mind feat. 

Analyze Dwoemer: As spell, no component.
