Favoured Enemy Resistance - You are determined not to be done in by those who you hate the most and those who you hunt the best

Prerequisite: Iron will OR Lightning reflexes OR Great fortitude
Favoured Enemy through a class feature or feat

Benefit: This feat gives an additional +2 bonus to the saves provided by the prerequisite feats, against your favoured enemies.If you have more than one of the prerequisite feats, apply the benefit to each of them
For example: A ranger with both iron will and lightning reflexes gets an additional +2 to both reflex and will saves against his favoured enemies if he takes this feat

Special : A ranger may take this feat instead of any other bonus feat [Track, Endurance] or any feat he receives through his various combat style abilities

What bonus feats do Rangers receive? Otherwise I guess that would be alright... but the wording could use some work. Something like "You gain an additional +2 bonus" rather than "doubles your resistance from that feat".

You're right.A feat needs to be as clear as possible

Sounds like a good feat, but I would never give up track, TWF/rapid shot or Endurance for it, plus it may not be worth taking as it's purely circumstantial, maybe another bonus could be good.

If you have more than one of the prerequisite feats, apply the benefit to each of them
This part is unusual; normally feats say something like "if you have more than one of the prerequisite feats, pick one of them to apply it to."

That said, it probably isn't broken the way you've got it, since it only applies to favored enemies, but it might be worth some extra consideration on that point.

Well the swapping option for track/endurance is to offer more customization to ranger.Also it applies versus all your favoured enemies
I wanted the feat to "enhance" the prerequisites, so if you have all three, you get maximum benefit [An additional +2 to all saves vs favoured enemies]

Hmm, Personally I wouldn't be opposed to letting the ranger get the +2 benefit from this feat to ALL saves vs a favoured enemy, mostly because I would normally consider that only worth about one feat (it seems to balance well against the various feats that are +4 to saves versus a specific source, i.e. poison) and you're requiring a fairly sub-par feat as a prerequisite.

As to Ranger bonus feats, there is of course the new 'feat ranger' as well in complete champion, so this would work well with that variant.
