[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4833720, member: 35909"] I consider those examples to be poorly thought-out. In particular, my group's ruled Solitary Hunting doesn't kick in till level 4, when you would get the animal companion. Because otherwise, it is a rather nice dip. I could see the argument that it doesn't mean much if you're only dipping ranger and thus won't have many creaures to gain the benefit against, though. As for monk, I guess you could houserule it to not be gained until level 4, when the first loss occurs (making them wait till level 6 when both are lost seems too harsh). That being said, how good are these benefits? If it's not all that game-breaking, I wouldn't even bother with a houserule, IMO. Besides, everyone who dips monk stops at 2 (evasion, second bonus feat) if not 1 anyway. Anyone who goes in 3 or more deep may as well stick with it or find a related prestige class. :) [/QUOTE]
