Hald-Elves favored class bonus +1 / 2 to oracle revelation taken when the favored class is not oracle

[Grom Kranock]

Hey all and thanks for any help on this.

I am looking to build a Lvl 1 Lunar oracle(Tiger companion) and from then on going Zen archer monk. Can I, when taking levels in monk, select the +1/2 to oracle revelation favoured class bonus?

I have searched the forums and rules but cannot find anything that says this is not viable. If this is true I can, with the help of boon companion, have a lvl 1 Lunar oracle/lvl 11 Zen archer with an effective druid level of 11 for the purposes of this revelation.... I think.

No, you can't. If you're taking levels in your favored class, that's where your favored class bonus has to come from.

The answer is NO.

As they said: No. When you level up as an ORACLE, then you may take the Favored Class Bonus for an ORACLE.

Yeah, the Half-elf thing about having two favored classes doesn't change the fact that you have to take levels in a specific class to get its FCB.
