What's standard-practice when the table and text don't match?

[LittleMissMissy]

I was looking at the Low Templar prestige class in the Inner Sea World Guide and noticed that the 'Live to Fight Another Day' ability is listed as being gained at 5th level on the table of class abilities and at 6th level in the text.

Is there a standard assumption to pick table over text, or vice-versa when this happens? Which am I to assume is correct?

Standard for 3.5 was text trumps table, but that was stated in errata documents and I can't recall if it was ever stated for PF.

I do know that way back when there was a table for monks where text didn't match a table, and the errata erred on the side of the table.

Honestly I'd say it doesn't matter, just pick whichever one is most beneficial and go with it.

There are no official rules in Pathfinder, but most of the time we go with text trumps table, but however supporting evidence may lead to the table being right.

I'm normally in favor of the text winning out, because more effort and and editing goes into them* while tables are particularly susceptible to typos, but in this particular case, Live to Fight Another Day isn't all that powerful, so I'd allow it at level 5. Regardless, I hit the FAQ button.

I go with the 3.5 ruling of "text trumps table."

The table summaries for feats are often incomplete or misleading, and there's at least one instance of a table containing an item that was supposed to have been cut from the final product (Gnomes of Golarion and the flick-mace).

Well I took a look at it, and I would say here's my thoughts.

If the level 6 is a typo, and it was to be level 5, then it would be listed alphabetically.

It isn't.

If one reads it as a level 6 power, it's alphabetical to ruthless. Which it is.

Therefore I must think that it was moved to 6, which would be text over table.
