change shape vs wild shape

[MR CRITICAL]

the hunter archetype (feral hunter) gives wild shape but gives u the ability change shape as the change shape ability while in wild shape form , does that mean theres no duration on the wild shape since change shape has no duration ???

Wild Shape (Su): At 4th level, a feral hunter gains the ability to change shape. This ability functions like the druid wild shape ability, except the hunter can take only animal forms (not elemental or plant forms). The hunter’s effective druid level is equal to her class level. This ability replaces the bonus tricks, improved empathic link, greater empathic link, master of the wild, and raise animal companion class abilities.

They do not get the Change Shape ability, the blurb about them gaining the ability to change shape is flavor text. Instead they get the ability to wild shape like a druid (with the limitations listed in the ability).

when u go to the SRD it links to change shape as the ability thats y im asking this because you hav to give up elementals and plants just to wild shape , y whd they not just give it the wild shape ability like druid if there's a duration??

The SRD also states it functions like the druid's wild shape and links to that as well. I think the link to the universal monster rules is a mistake. Web Designers make mistakes all the time.

There are multiple corrections on that page already, looks like they missed one.

its because the d20pfsrd isnt an official source, and gets a lot of things wrong

it automatically creates links when certain words are put in, without anyone checking what those words are actually referencing

link to official sites version, without unnecessary and confusion causing hyperlink

theres a whole lot more on there.

its great for a quick look, but i always double check stuff on AoN. D20 takes some liberties with a lot of text, but they do include a lot of links to FAQ stuff
