I have a question about the interaction between the feat Boon Companion and the Chosen One paladin - particularly:
The abilities of your familiar are calculated as though your class were 4 levels higher
And
True Form (Ex): At 7th level, a chosen one’s familiar reveals its true form, transforming into an outsider improved familiar that matches the chosen one’s patron’s alignment (typically an arbiter, a cassisian, a harbinger, or a silvanshee, but potentially any lawful neutral, lawful good, or neutral good outsider familiar depending on the patron). The familiar gains the change shape universal monster ability if it doesn’t already have it, which it can use at will to transform into its original form or back to its true form.
If I was a Paladin 4/Oracle 3, would Boon Companion allow me to gain the benefits of True Form?
True form you only get when you have 7 Chosen One Paladin levels. It is a class feature of the Paladin, not part of the familiar.
Boon companion improves how your familiar works when you start taking Oracle levels. It improves it's BAB, saves, HP, hit dice and familiar abilities since those stop going up when you leave paladin.

That's the unfortunate conclusion I've come to as well, I was just hoping the consensus would be that it would work, lol.
Our group may still ultimately decided to houserule it to work, since it's very similar to spending a feat on Improved Familiar in some senses (which a Chosen One 7 wouldn't need to do), but I wanted to check my understanding.
