There is a druid variant that swaps the druid's wildshape ability for a mixture of monk and ranger abilities. These include the ranger's Favored Enemy ability. My question is thus: does that entail obtaining new favored enemies at every fifth level, as does the ranger, or is it simply a one-time favored enemy at first level? My initial thought is yes, but I am interested in what others have to say on this.

So, for example, the variant Druid's abilities function exactly as they would for a Monk or Ranger of the same level, but the variant Ranger's Wild Shape works like a Druid's but only allows the Ranger to turn into Small or Medium animals. Hope this helps. MadBlue
