Favored Enemy
A better version of the ranger feature
Class: ranger
Prerequisites: none
Level: 1
Replaces: favored enemy
Benefit: At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature from among those given on Table: Ranger Favored Enemies. The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of this type.
Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls against such creatures. In addition for every 4 enemies of the favored type that the ranger deals at least 60% damage to them and personally kills, the ranger gets another +2 bonus on the listed checks and attack/damage rolls against the selected creature type. These bonuses stack with each other and other bonuses.
At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy from those given on the table. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by 2.
If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table. If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.
