Favored Enemy

{{Feat
 * icon=Feat_favoredenemy.png
 * prerequisite= Ranger 1
 * description= At first level a Ranger selects a type of creature from the favored enemy list. Favored Enemy grants +2 to damage rolls against the chosen creature type. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th) the Ranger selects an additional creature type from the favored enemy list and his damage bonus against all favored enemy types increases by 2.
 * passive=yes
 * ranger=yes
 * free=no
 * note=The original DDO text above (re Ranger's Favored enemies) probably dates back to the days where you could only gain Favored Enemies from specific ranger levels, which is no longer the case in DDO. Ranger level is no longer a controlling factor. You currently get +2 damage vs. each and every Favored Enemy for each Favored Enemy feat you have, regardless of how you got them, and regardless of your class(es) or level.
 * Examples:
 * If a non-Ranger Gnome character has Undead as a Favored Enemy from the Vistani enhancement tree, and Reptilian from the Gnome Racial enhancement tree, they do +4 damage to both those Favored Enemies.
 * If that same Gnome character was a Level 20 Ranger, they would also have their 5 base Favored enemies from 20 Ranger Levels, for +14 to all 7 Favored Enemies.
 * That same Level 20(+) Gnome Ranger might also have 1 additional favored enemy from Deepwood Stalker enhancements, 1 from the Harper enhancement tree, 1 the Falconry enhancement tree, plus 1 from the Primal Avatar Epic Destiny tree, as well as the 7 the previous example (Vistani & Gnome & Ranger 20), for a total of 11 Favored Enemies; that character then does +22 extra damage to all favored enemies.
