Hi everyone,
Quick question on a rangers favored enemy. If a ranger is about to combat a creature that is his favored enemy and that enemy appears to be something else do to a magical effect. Would the ranger get all the added bonuses from his favored enemy class ability, even though he is unaware of the fact it is his favored enemy?
Yes especially the bonus to perception and sense motive. This could very well allow him to recognize the enemy for what it is. This is not any different then the ranger his favored enemy bonus to spot an invisible enemy.
