Favored Class Bonus and Effective Level


Rules Questions


I tried to search for additional threads on this, but my search-fu is weak... I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correlation properly, for a specific ability. I'm curious how exactly a FCB and Coat of Many Stars interact.

The elven FCB for oracle is as follows:

Quote:
Elf: Add +½ to the oracle’s level for the purpose of determining the effects of one revelation.

The revelation is as follows:

Coat of Many Stars wrote:
Coat of Many Stars (Su): You conjure a coat of starry radiance that grants you a +4 armor bonus. At 7th level, and every four levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +2. At 13th level, this armor grants you DR 5/slashing. You can use this coat for 1 hour per day per oracle level. The duration does not need to be consecutive; it can instead be spent in 1-hour increments.

Now, my understanding is as follows... a 5th level elven heavens oracle puts all his FCB points into his FCB as listed above. He would be considered 7(.5)th level for all intents and purposes for his ability. Therefore his AC bonus would be +6 and usage for 7 hours per day as opposed to only 5 hours per day due to his effective level.

I want to make sure that's a correct understanding... I'd hate to assume that's the case only to learn that perhaps the hours/level section isn't covered under the FCB for some inane reason.

Thanks all!

Indeed, so long as you had selected that Revelation at level 1.
