Thanks for letting me know it's a AoN transcription problem.

So effectively. It's the same as in the past. The Ranger can get one special AC which benefits from his edge using his class feat.

Any others from Beastmaster or Druid MC... would only be basic under a strict reading.

Correct?

I can't find anything on this searching the forum. But two of the remastered feats are completely contradictory. It's my understanding since the new version has the same name as the old one it errata's the old one.

The remastered "Animal Companion" feat I'm seeing on Nethys appears to completely omit the old text sharing Hunters Edge.

However, the text in Masterful companion clearly states that it enhances the Hunters edge benefit and is worded such that rangers should still retain the class feature.

Remaster on Nethys:
"You gain the service of a young animal companion (page 206) that travels with you on your adventures and obeys any simple commands you give it to the best of its abilities."

Legacy on Nethys includes this extra paragraph.
"Ranger: When you Hunt Prey, your animal companion gains the action's benefits and your hunter's edge benefit if you have one."

Legacy and Remastered Masterful Companion both read.
"Your animal companion shares your incredible hunting skills, allowing it to take down your shared prey with ease. When you Hunt Prey, your animal companion gains the masterful hunter benefit associated with your hunter’s edge, rather than just your original hunter’s edge benefit."

Has there been any comments from the devs about which is the correct form?
Was this a typo, or just a bug with Nethys? I'm not sure which is intentional.

The first part is fun when read tongue in cheek. I guess ultimately all clerics healing comes from the deity granting it... so the CL doesn't matter either ;P.

But seriously, this is a rules forum where people come for answers to rules questions.

For Spell-Like Abilities from the rules.
"If no Caster Level is specified, the Caster Level is equal to the creature's HIT DICE."

So a spell like ability is not based on character levels or class levels at all by the rules themselves.

Is Fire Gods Blessing a SLA? No, the feat does not state anywhere that it grants a SLA. So the SLA rules do not apply.
Is it a class ability? No
Is it a feat? Yes
Do feats have class levels? No

As this is a RULES discussion. Please cite where it states that feats have class levels or character levels.

I respectfully disagree. You answered the question yourself. It is based on the class level or caster level of the effect which triggers it. The feat is not a class ability nor spell-like. It does not get any bonus healing. Class level is wholly different than character level and the two should not be conflated.

That said your example has some other rather glaring flaws. One Sezelrain worship on a paladin is grounds for some serious atonement issues (the fire god worship is a prerequisite for the feat, that orc god is CE). The second flaw is barbarian requires non-lawful alignment so is incompatible with paladin. But that's a digression from the main topic :).

But if your fire demon worshipping barbarian gets healed by a level 8 paladin. You have the basics down.

Class Ability, lay on hands or healing burst... +8 health from 8 class levels backing the class ability.
Casts Cure Light, +5 healing from CL5 spell casting of a lvl 8 paladin.
Fire God's Blessing Feat: +0 as it is not a class ability and thus has no class levels.

PS:
I researched this combo a little while back as I'm currently playing a skald who uses Lesser celestial totem to really amp party healing. And thought hey I could turn this into a kind of non-regeneration regeneration... til I read further and realized it just doesn't work.

Just as an example, try pairing this rage ability with Path of Glory. Instead of 1 point of healing per round.. you get 1 point + caster level per round. Stupidly powerful healing both during and after a fight.
