Ranger's Monster hunter feat


Rules Discussion


So is there any final verdict on how this feat works?

Do you get +1 bonus only on critical success?

Or do you get +1 bonus on a regular success as well?

Dark Archive

The main bonus is that you can recall knowledge as part of the hunt prey action.
You (and your allies) get the +1 only if you critically succeed on recall knowledge, not on a regular success.


Only on critical.

You quickly assess your prey and apply what you know. As part of the action used to Hunt your Prey, you can attempt a check to Recall Knowledge about your prey. When you critically succeed at identifying your hunted prey with Recall Knowledge, you note a weakness in the creature’s defenses in addition to any other benefits. You and allies you tell gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your next attack roll against that prey. You can give bonuses from Monster Hunter only once per day against a particular creature.

The bolded sentences are clearly a pair. You would have to pick apart the wording of the feat so far that it was out of context with itself instead of reading normally to claim that they are unrelated. The bonus is on a critical success.


Heh. There is a duplicate thread.

There is also the upgrade feat Master Monster Hunter that does exactly that - allows getting the bonuses of Monster Hunter on a success instead of only on a crit.

That half of that feat would be meaningless if Monster Hunter itself gave that.
