Animal Focus (Su)As a forester has no animal companion, the aspects granted by this ability always apply to the forester herself, just as if a normal hunter’s companion were dead.
This alters animal focus.
Would this imply that the Hunter would have TWO Animal Foci, one 'permanent' and one that lasts for minutes per level?
If the hunter’s animal companion is dead, the hunter can apply her companion’s animal focus to herself instead of her animal companion. This is in addition to the normal one she can choose, and (as with a companion’s focus) remains in effect until the hunter changes it instead of counting against her minutes per day.
