effective class level + actual class level for domains


Rules Questions


Hello all, I need help with my PFS character. I'm about to reach level 4 and have access to an axebeak for animal companion.

Cleric 4/ Hunter 1 (Divine hunter) of Erastil with Domains: Animal (feather) and Good. Hunter Domain would be Animal (fur) or Plant (growth) as a backup.

Do I only get one companion? I am happy with just one. This looks like I could get 2. (maybe I could use one as a mount)
I will take boon companion for the 5th level feat. So my companion is now level 5.
Do I have to wait for the + ability score bonus at Hunter level 6?

Does the effective cleric levels stack with my actual cleric level for the hunter domain spells and powers?

Domain: At 3rd level, a divine hunter learns to call upon the power of her deity. The divine hunter must select one domain from those available to her deity. She gains the granted powers of this domain, using her hunter level – 2 as her cleric level for determining when the powers are gained and what effects they have. Once she chooses this domain, it cannot be changed.

If the divine hunter selects the animal domain, she does not gain a second animal companion upon reaching an effective cleric level of 4th. When the divine hunter would gain that ability, her animal companion instead gains two ability score increases (gaining +1 to two different ability scores or +2 to one ability score).

Note that PFS has a houserule that you can only have one companion/familiar active during any given scenario.

Your class levels and effective levels dont stack in this case. the domains are seperate and pull off of different levels.
