help me with my favored enemy bonuses


Advice


My current bonuses are +4 human and +2 Good outsiders. Just hit level 8 so I have some time to decide but the thing is we are fighting humans a lot, but the amount of Good outsiders have been slowly increasing. long story short humans and good outsiders are the main enemies most of the time. With the DR and more deadliness of the good outsiders I have been considering focusing all my increases into Good outsiders from here on out, but that would mean the instant enemy spell won't be as powerful than if I just focused on human and cast instant enemy instead.

So should I go +4 human +4 good +2 whatever when I get my next favored enemy, or should I go +6 human +2 good +2 whatever so I can get the most out of the instant enemy spell?

Also I can cast instant enemy to treat good outsiders as humans even if they are one of my other favored enemies right? the wording on the spell makes me question that...

Thanks!


You'll get your first third level spell at ranger 10/11 (depending on wis modifier). Then we're talking about maximum 2 uses of Instant Enemy per day until level 15.

If you feel that getting an additional +2 (4 to 6) against two targets per day, instead of an additional +2 (2 to 4) against more, weaker targets, then you should max one of your favored enemies.

And remember... you can always try either choice and retrain if you regret it.

And no, you can't cast instant enemy on good outsiders if they're already your favored enemy. That is a good reason to keep your favored enemy bonus even, especially since you say you often fight good outsiders.
