03-27-07, 12:18 PM Idea is nice, but the name doesn't seem quite right. I suggest 'Favored Resistance' or something like that.

Also, it's completely useless against animals :P

Yeah, but "Resistance" automatically made me think of energy resistance. Also, it's not so much "I hunt you guys a lot, so I can take your attacks" as "I know how to hunt dragons. They use breath weapons and varous spells. When it rears up and inhales, I need to start getting out of the way". Hence "Tactics".

And yes, it is useless against animals. Plants too. But then again, you don't see people saying "You know what I hate about the Investigator feat? How it's completely useless for barbarians..." It's made for rangers whose favored enemies HAVE supernatural or spell-like abilities.

Actually, I believe this was done up in Dragon magazine as part of an article with new favored enemy feats...and the full bonus applied.
