Hunter Dip and Planar Focus


Rules Questions


Assuming I have the 5 ranks of Knowledge(Planes) from other class levels, if I take a 1 level dip in Hunter, I now have the "animal focus class feature" of Hunter.

What happens if I take the Planar Focus feat and choose say Cold or Fire? I only have one level of Hunter, so do I still get the minimum (1d4 damage back or 1d6 fire added to my attacks) or since I don't have "enough" levels in Hunter, those abilities don't work yet?


since it uses the wording "class levels" instead of character levels, the feat would be limited by whatever class is giving you the class feature required by the pre-req.

Yes, I understood that part. I wasn't assuming all my other levels would contribute to the focuses. My question is specifically about a 1 level dip in Hunter and the Cold/Fire options. Would they work at all?

ah ok, sorry about that. By RAW since they don't mention a minimum value you can pick them, but doing so won't actually do anything.

Fire: Your natural attacks and melee weapons deal 1d6 points of fire damage for every 4 class levels you possess.

It does not say minimum 1d6, so unless you have 4 hunter levels, you gain nothing.
