Hi,
for the Skinwalker, the favoured class bonus reads:
"Fighter: The fighter adds ½ to his number of change shape uses per day"
However, the description of the change shape ability, does at not point list any limitation to the number of changes per day. This is deeply confusing:
"Change Shape (Su, 5 RP): A skinwalker can change shape to and from a bestial form as a standard action. In bestial form, a skinwalker gains a +2 racial bonus to either Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. While in this form, a skinwalker also takes on an animalistic feature that provides a special effect. Each time a skinwalker assumes bestial form, she can choose to gain one of the following features:
- 2 claw attacks that each deal 1d4 points of damage
- Darkvision to a range of 60 feet.
- +1 racial bonus to natural armor.
These benefits last until the skinwalker returns to her humanoid form as a swift action. A skinwalker must first return to her humanoid form before changing to bestial form again to change benefits. Different skinwalker heritages allow skinwalker characters to select from different sets of bestial features."
Can anyone explain?

The favored class bonuses listed on d20PFSRD.com are all 3rd party items, meaning they were published by someone other than Paizo (in this case, 'Jon Brazer Enterprises' apparently). Normally, I'd point out that mixing 3rd party items in with actual Paizo items is a good reason not to use this particular site, but in this particular case at least, it was actually clearly labeled as an 'Additional 3rd Party Publisher Options'...
If you look up the errata on the same page, it appears the original text for Change Shape had a 'uses per day' limitation that was later dropped.
The skinwalker’s original change shape ability also included the following limitations:
While in bestial form, a skinwalker takes a –4 penalty on Charisma and Charisma-based checks when interacting with humanoids that lack the shapechanger subtype.
A skinwalker can shapechange into bestial form a number of times per day equal to 3 + ½ her character level.
These limitations were removed in the revised skinwalker entry. [Source: PZO9280]
Editor Note: Removal of these limitations would likely increase the Racial Point cost of skinwalkers to 11-12 RP, but there has yet been no clarification from Paizo on this.

I somehow did not see that. We dont use 3rd party materials. Never mind then :-) Thanks a lot!

I very strongly suggest using AoN instead of the 3PP-filled and notoriously erroneous d20pfsrd.com, then.
