I was looking at the witchguard on the PFSRD and notice the defend charge ability:
Defend Charge (Ex)
At 4th level, a witchguard forms a bond with a spellcaster he has sworn to defend. Once per day, this bond allows the witchguard to spend a move action to grant an adjacent spellcaster a +2 dodge bonus to AC and a +2 circumstance bonus on concentration checks.
At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, these bonuses increase by 2. The bonuses last for a number of rounds equal to the witchguard’s Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
At 4th level and every 3 levels thereafter, the witchguard can use this ability one additional time per day.
This ability replaces hunter’s bond.
Going by the strictest reading of this, it means that at 4th lvl the witchguard provides a +2 dodge bonus to AC and a +2 circumstance bonus on concentration checks. Fine, I got that. But does that mean the witchguard can use the ability 2 times per day at 4th rather than 1/day or is that a typo?
Huh... It does say that, doesn't it.
I would presume the author based the wording of Defend Charge on something like Ranger's Focus which is written the same way but starts 1/day at 1st level and increases at 4th level.
I don't see the harm in running it the way it's written or houseruling it to award Defend Charge at 1st level.
