Yokai Hunter proof-reading

Scarab Sages

(Yeah, just got the Dragon Empire Primer....)

Okay, ranger archetype. First ability, "Favored Yokai (Su)":

Basically, it's a modified favored enemy, but what I'm not seeing is any notes about the bonuses to attack and damage stacking every time you add another creature, like with most favored enemy abilities.

Can I get a second pair of eyes on this one?

Is it meant to provide only a +2 attack and +2 damage to the "favored yokai" regardless of my ranger level?

RAW, only a +2 bonus. The ability doesn't provide upgrades, and it's a replacement for Favored Enemy, not a modification.

RAI, only a +2 bonus. The archetype seems to be built around diversifying your toolkit as you level up, being able to use Yokai Sense, Yokai Resistance and the ability to spot disguised Yokai against more enemy types.

Is it any good? Obviously not. The higher-level abilities come in way, way too late.

My read too, but was hoping I missed something. Thanks.
