Sacred Huntsmaster and Raise Animal Companion


Rules Questions


Q: Does the Sacred Huntsmaster immediately get the improved version of the Raise Animal Companion ability?

-----

Sacred Huntsmaster (Inquisitor archetype)

Raise Animal Companion (Sp)

At 16th level, a sacred huntsmaster gains raise animal companion as a spell-like ability (not restricted to her own animal companion). Using this ability gives the sacred huntsmaster a negative level that cannot be overcome in any way (including by restoration), but automatically ends after 24 hours. At 16th level, this functions as resurrection instead of raise dead, but otherwise operates as normal.

This ability replaces third judgment.

This is the same ability as from the Hunter class, except the Hunter gets it at level 10.

On the SH, it's worded awkwardly - it makes me think it might be a typo - with the improvement meant to be occuring later (or not at all)


Almost 4 years later and the archetype is still off on this.

I think the ability was meant to be awarded at level 10 and improve at level 16 as the Hunter's ability of the same name does, but RAW seems to be clear that the improvement is awarded as soon as you get the ability.

What's been the PFS ruling all this time? Admitting it's a typo? Going by what's written since the archetype is strong enough as it is?


Given when they pick up focuses at a delayed pace from hunter, I'd say you get at 16 not 10; while it may be a typo it may not be, you get the upgrade right off the bat.
