1. Does a Feral Child gain additional favored terrains at levels 8, 13, and 18?
2. Do a Feral Child's favored terrain bonuses increase at levels 8, 13, and 18?
Grazie in anticipo.
No, and no.
Bummer.
So, I'm curious about this part:
At 3rd level, a feral child gains the favored terrain ability as a ranger of her class level. A feral child may not choose urban as a favored terrain.
Thing is, class level has no effect on favored terrain--except to grant more favored terrains or increase the bonus, per the original post's questions. Is this part of the text meaningless, then?
So, I assume this applies to a world walker druid as well? Though that might complicate things in the case of a world walker with one or more levels of ranger.
In any case, looks like the Hero Lab folks will need to update their archetype data. Also, archetypes that grant a favored terrain . . . not so great, actually.
The more I think about it, the less sense this makes, especially since it says both "gains the favored terrain ability" and "as a ranger of her class level". To me, this would imply getting the entire ability exactly as written in the ranger write-up. The Horizon Walker prestige class would work differently, as it specifies what levels improve the ability as opposed to stating "as a ranger of her class level".
Anyway, sorry to bump a dead thread.
Bump all you like, it's your thread after all. ;)
You have some valid points, although I still don't think they'll fly. But the first rule of the rules is that the rules are what the group says they are. So just petition your GM - your interpretation isn't going to break the game.
True enough. Was just interested in hearing some others' interpretations.
In this case, I think the GM agrees in the case of the world walker archetype. Plus, the difference in this case would only be one favored terrain, so it won't break my character concept if he changes his mind.
Cheers.
