Polearm Master Archetype Clarification


Rules Questions

The Exchange

Okay looking for some verification i am building a Polearm Master fighter/Hellknight, 5 levels of fighter then down the Hellknight path, its a PFS character so i am a little worried about Class features stacking and such.

Core question in the case of POle fighting/Steadfast Pike/Polearm Training, the bonus/penalty increase/reduces every four levels beyond the level you gain the feature so if I move to Hellknight at Character Level 6 i don't get the reduction in the penalty of pole fighting.

Any help greatly appreciated and links to othe posts or quotes from the rulebooks even more greatly appreciated

Are you asking if this statement is correct? It is. The archetype ability increases by fighter level, not total character level.


Question: Does the Hellknight class state that Hellknight levels stack with Fighter levels for purposes of class features? If it doesn't, you won't get the reduction.
