Yhing Hir Horse Lord Path (pg. 300 of the main rule book) and possible contradiction/redundancy.
Pardon if this has already been addressed previously, as I did not find any relevant info regarding this subject during my search or in the Errata.
The path has the requirements of having the Talents: Born in the Saddle and Loyal Companion. The Path then grants you the Talents: Loyal Companion (which stacks as it is a tiered Talent) and Animal Affinity.
Here is where I see the contradiction/redundancy: Animal Affinity is not a tiered Talent. Additionally, it is a prerequisite for the Talent: Loyal Companion (which is a prerequisite to access this Path). By the time one gains access to this Path, they will have obtained Animal Affinity twice (once for meeting the prerequisite of Loyal Companion, and a second time for gaining this Path) at which point does nothing. Was this redundancy done deliberately or did this slip through the cracks?
I believe it has been raised before a long time ago on the old forums. IIRC no modification or errata was offered. I believe (IIRC) that there was some speculation that you could potentially get the loyal Companion w/o taking animal affinity. You are correct that there is nothing in the errata (at least as far as I can tell...)
