Hunter animal companion tricks

[JF Pedneault]

A hunter may teach her companion hunter's tricks from the skirmisher ranger archetype instead of standard tricks.

I read that my animal companion gain this tricks, but in the skirmisher archetype is the ranger that gains the tricks. If just replace ranger by hunter animal companion, most of tricks has no sense.

However nothing say how much trick you can do on the same attack and how many times per day you can use the tricks.

If i read just RAW the hunter animal companion gain unlimited use of each tricks he knows and can apply many on the same attacks. Seem to be unfair...

Do we know if errata are release for hunter?

No errata or clarifications yet.

Personally, I think this was something that was marked for removal but was missed (ACG is full of this) and thus the reason for the lack of response on it.

Can you tell me supposed to be marked from removal, we start a new game sonn and all my player want to try the hybrid class.

[Dafydd]

I can not tell you for sure that the skirmisher tricks were supposed to be removed. That is only how I personally feel they were meant to be.

Why? Because, as you pointed out, a straight substitution does not work.

I would suggest to the players to ignore the section until some errata comes out. The Hunter will be able to pick up the tricks later easily enough if it is ever clarified how to use em.

I don't know how PFS handles this, but for our group the animal gains the trick and uses the skirmisher's rules. So yeah, most tricks cannot be taken. Which is fine. Use the animals hit dice in place of ranger level and the animals own wisdom instead of the hunters.

It makes the most sense to me.

[Imbicatus]

I'd day use the Hunter's level in place of ranger level and the animals wisdom mod. Animal Companion HD is screwy, and can make for odd numbers.

[JF Pedneault]

Why dont use animal HD and Hunter wisdom seem to be a number of time legit and wisdom is an important stat for the hnuter class.

That's very debatable. They can get by with minimal wisdom as they don't progress as a full caster (6/9) and buffing doesn't require wisdom which matches their martial nature much better than casting offensive spells.
