Favored enemy progression as non-ranger? (and other FE things)
« on: September 20, 2012, 02:16:08 PM »
Dear min-max boards.

I am primarily looking for a way to keep my favoured enemy progression even if multi-classing with any other class.
So far, I have only found swift hunter (letting me keep it for ranger and scout levels).

I am also interested in ACF for other classes which gain the favoured enemy feature.

I am also interested in stuff that is nice with favoured enemy in general (such as improved favoured enemy, favoured power attack, nemesis etc.)

Best Regards
Yirrare

One of my all time favourite variants:  Swift & Deadly Druid.

The Prestige Ranger also offers favoured enemies.

Enemy spirit pouch from MIC.  Basically ups your FE bonus by +2, and gives you a +1 competence bonus to attack rolls against the FE.

These are both great. Thanks.
Thought about the prestige ranger, but was hoping for more of a multiclass option.

Detect Favored Enemy, Rgr 1, SpC - like detect magic, but on FE
Exacting Shot, Rgr 2, SpC - 1 min/level, ranged weapon auto-confirms crits on FE's
Foebane, Rgr 4, SpC - 1 round/level, Weapon becomes +5, and +2d6 damage vs one selected FE (also +4 Resistance to saves vs FE)
Mark of the Hunter, Rgr 3, SpC - 1 min/level, vs one creature (who must be a FE), your FE bonus increases by 4, subject cannot gain cover or concealment other than total
Bane Bow, Rgr 4, Comp Div - 1 round per level, ranged weapon becomes +5, and gains the Bane property against one of your favored enemies (effectively +7, +2d6 damage).

Hunting weapon property, MIC, +1, increases your FE bonus damage by 4 (all FE's)

Originally the Raptor Arrow relic from Complete Divine gained the bane property against a ranger's favored enemies.  As of MIC, they gain the bane property for anyone, against any creature type, so long as you have created the proper divine connection.  The CD versions were also +3, while the MIC ones are merely +1.

The Abolisher PrC from Lords of Madness grants FE Aberrations (and limited wildshape)

Ascetic Hunter feat allows your FE bonus to increase the DC of Stunning Fist

Given all the above spells, an Archivist would probably be the easiest limited-ranger way to be a favored enemy fighter.

Also, I forgot to mention, one of the regional feats in PGtF grants a favored enemy.
