Favored Enemy


 * 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 from the Falconry enhancement tree, plus 1 from the Shiradi Champion Epic Destiny tree, as well as the 7 from 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.


 * Dark Hunters, an archetype variant of Ranger, have a very limited selection of Favored Enemy types to choose from. These are, in total: Aberration, Animal, Elf, Human, Monstrous Humanoid, and Vermin. These otherwise work identically to a standard Ranger's Favored Enemies.
