Similarly, "Defensive Bow Stance" would give the AnC the ability to make ranged attacks without provoking AoO since most (all?) AnC won't have ranged attacks, this trick would be legal but irrelevant for them.īut what about tricks like "Ranger's Counsel"? If there are no limits on how often an AnC can do these tricks, can I instruct my AnC to have Ranger's Counsel (Perception) perpetually turned on, thereby giving everyone in the party a continuing +2 Perception bump? Similarly, can I give my AnC 1 rank in UMD (once I bump his intelligence to 3 at level 4) and thereby use Ranger's Counsel (UMD) to have him give everyone in the party a +2 UMD whenever needed?Īnd what about the skirmisher tricks that specifically mention an animal companion, like "Bolster Companion," "Heel," and "Sic 'Em"? If we simply replace "the ranger" with "the hunter's animal companion" in the text of these tricks, they no longer make any sense at all (e.g. For example, the very first skirmisher trick listed "Aiding Attack" - if an AnC with this trick hits an enemy, the next ally who also attacks the same enemy gets a +2. In particular, for the purposes of this ability of the Hunter class, in the text of the skirmisher's tricks, should the words "the ranger" be replaced by "the hunter's animal companion"? That would work pretty straight forwardly for some of the tricks. It's even more of a mess when we look at the Skirmisher entry and contemplate what it might mean for the AnC to learn "hunter’s tricks from the skirmisher ranger archetype instead of standard tricks." Aside from the questions already raised about when this ability begins and how often it can be used, it's not at all clear how the skirmisher's tricks work when they are done by an AnC.
I agree with the OP that a FAQ entry is needed to clarify how this should work.
