Boots of Friendly Terrain and Infiltrators

[rangerjeff]

Just wondering if an Infiltrator archetype ranger can gain the benefits of Boots of Friendly Terrain:

"Boots of friendly terrain turn inhospitable territory into a perfect hunting grounds for any ranger who wears them, so much so that his footprints vanish behind him with each step he takes. Each pair of these supple leather boots corresponds to a specific sort of environment as defined by the ranger's favored terrain class feature (jungle, plains, and so on). A ranger wearing the boots can treat the corresponding environment of the boots as one of his favored terrains, granting him a +2 bonus. If he already has that particular environment as one of his favored terrains, that terrain’s bonus increases by 2."

For Infiltrators, Adaptation replaces Favored Terrain

He doesn't have Favored Terrain as a feature, so even if he gets, say, plains as a favored terrain, it doesn't do anything because he lacks the feature that interacts with things being designated as a favored terrain.

Ah phooey. Though that makes sense. Still a great item for non-infiltrator rangers.
