So in Paths of the Righteous, the Hinterlander class gets to choose a favoured enemy from a smaller list, and gets an extra bonus along with the usual +2. The options are Aberrations, Constructs, Evil Outsiders, Magical Beasts, Monstrous Humanoids and Undead. Makes sense.
Then, later on, we see the ability Defended Hearth. Basically, you pick a small settlement, and you know when bad things are approaching it. Funnily enough, the list of creatures that trigger the ability is identical to the favoured enemy options, plus dragons.
So my question is, were dragons supposed to be a favoured enemy option, and just got forgotten about? Or is there some other reason for the discrepancy?
I don't actually know, but I assume the Hinterlander can't choose dragon as a favored enemy because dragons aren't common enemies in the hinterlands. They definitely are, however, unnatural threats to a settlement, so they are on the Defended Hearth list. That's just my interpretation.
