Hi!
I have q question regarding the Feral hunter archetype.
At 1st level the Feral Hunter can emulate 1 animal aspect without time limit. The question is : does he have to choose only one animal (for exemple : Bat) or can he switch between animals? (for exemple : emulate Bat while exploring a cave, and then swith to Frog to cross a lake, then Monkey to climb, etc)
Thanks!

Reading the Animal Focus class feature, there is no limit to a single animal, such as with language that says the choice is set and can never change, just that you can only emulate one animal at a time.
Animal Focus (Su)
At 1st level, a hunter can take on the aspect of an animal as a swift action. She must select one type of animal to emulate, gaining a bonus or special ability based on the type of animal emulated and her hunter level. The hunter can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to her level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but must be spent in 1-minute increments. The hunter can emulate only one animal at a time.

Feral Focus (Su): At 1st level, a feral hunter gains a limited ability to change her shape into hybrid animal forms. This functions as the animal focus class feature, except that the hunter always applies the animal aspect to herself, and there is no limit to this ability's duration. She can end this ability as a free action.
When a feral hunter uses this ability, her body takes on cosmetic aspects of an animal, such as furry skin, longer nails, elongated teeth, and oddly colored eyes; these changes do not grant her any abilities other than what is stated in the animal focus, and end when she takes on a different aspect or ends the ability. This physical change is a polymorph effect, though the effects of the animal focus are not.
This ability replaces the animal focus, hunter tactics, and speak with master class abilities.
So yes, you can change your aspect. The ability to switch between so many abilities makes Feral Hunter a nice dip for some builds.

Bit confused here. Say I take a level dip in Feral Hunter, I understand that I don't have the time limit for Feral Focus but can I still change the focus?
Can I drop the focus and then put it back on?
Example: Have Owl up as I sneak around town.
Drop Owl as I need to question someone but don't want to scare them.
Fight! Put on Bull.
Can you do all this with just a level dip in Feral Hunter?
