I was browsing the Antihero's Handbook, looking at the new archetypes, and something struck me as odd about the Planar Extremist druid's replacement for wild shape.
Planar Aspect (Su): At 4th level, as a standard action, a planar extremist can gain the benefits of the bloodrager bloodline associated with her alignment (choosing from Abyssal, Celestial, or Infernal), as if she were a bloodrager of her druid level. She can gain these benefits for 1 minute per druid level as if she were bloodraging (but she gains no other benefits or penalties of bloodrage) or until she dismisses it as a swift action; this duration need not be used consecutively but must be spent in 1-minute increments.
Okay, so it's like a Hunter's animal focus power. Sounds decent.
But literally the next sentence contradicts this:
She can use this ability an additional time per day at 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, for a total of five times per day at 18th level.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how this ability was intended to work. Is it supposed to be 1 minute/level that you can use up however you want? Or was it actually supposed to have a set number of activations per day with a maximum of 1 minute/level that's shared between each activation?

If I understand well :
Once you activate the ability, you have 4 min (at level 4) to use it like you want, but if you dimiss the ability you must wait 1 min to re-activate it. That count toward the total time.
So if you use the ability for 1 min, dismiss for 1m30s , re-activate it, you have 1m30s left to spend.
So when you reach level 6 you can use the ability 2 time for 6 minutes each.
Thats what I think, it's not official.
