Holy Guide FAQ / Errata?

The Holy Guide archetype for paladins, printed in the ACG, states that it gains a bonus Teamwork feat at 5th level, which it can spend a use of Smite Evil to grant to its allies. In exchange, it gives up the Mercy gained at 5th level.

Just one problem. Paladins don't get a Mercy at 5th level. As written, the Holy Guide is either completely unusable, or gains that bonus teamwork feat for nothing (I'm not sure how that would be ruled, if you were going strictly by RAW. Can someone straighten me out on that?).

I'm fairly sure that every reference to 5th level in that class feature should say 6th level, but it would be nice to have that confirmed. FAQ this post if you agree.

As an aside, if the fix ends up being what I think it is, then that's very disappointing to me, because that means it can't be combined with Divine Hunter, which seems like a very flavorful combination to me (especially for Paladins of Erastil). Not a huge deal, but certainly something that I wish were different.


Pretty pointless. It's almost assuredly the mercy at 6th level.

You can add this to the obvious bs that rushing the ACG caused.

So, Is there an answer for this?
And... Will the Paladin get to increase its terrain bonus at 6 if the Teamwork feat is gained instead of the second terrain bonus? This doesn't make sense.
