Companion / Familiar Death and Boon Companion


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

OK, I have a question regarding Boon Companion.

In the event that your animal companion/familiar is killed or dismissed, and you get a replacement companion/familiar (per the usual method for your class), does Boon Companion apply to the new companion/familiar?

I feel like you can read Boon Companion one of two ways:

1. Boon Companion applies to a specific animal- the companion/familiar you had when you took the feat. When he/she dies or is dismissed, that's it- you now have a wasted feat.

2. Boon Companion applies to the Animal Companion or Familiar class feature for one specific class; i.e. a dual class Ranger/Wizard can take Boon Companion once for the Ranger's Companion, and then again for the Wizard's Familiar. The feat would then apply to every companion or familiar that the character may have during their adventuring career.

So, which is it? I really hope option two...

Last row of the feat benefit (at least how it appear in PFSRD)

"If you lose or dismiss an animal companion or familiar that has received this benefit, you may apply this feat to the replacement creature."

I would say you apply it to the class feature.

Doh! It's amazing how easily you can overlook something like that when reading...Thanks for pointing that out to me!
