Ultimate Intrigue feats : Light Bearer, Groom, Page and Weapon Bearer

[Grom Kranock]

These feats all give you a Cohort that is your level -3 with some restrictions on what classes they can be. Given that PFS has banned most things like this in the past has this been an oversight? I know the character is your level -3 but this seems like a massive power boost to a party.

You could now all have your improved familiar for a single feat with no need for levels in Wizard etc that can do sooooooooooooooo much more than a familiar.

Am I missing something here?

Yes.

If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, tastes like a duck, and used to quack like a duck, then it's probably a duck.

In this case John Compton has stated that there was a forgotten omission the three feats that function like leadership from that book. Leadership is a banned feat, as are these.

I'll look for the thread, but know I'm personal friends with one of the team members for Ultimate Intrigue review and I pointed this out to him quite some time ago and he basically said, "well crap, we forgot to review that chapter," thus prompting John to also say "no". It just hasn't made it to the Additional Resources yet.

There we go, here's where John says it.

Fantastic, was not really looking forward to thus stuff filtering into the campaign.
