The ranger with the archetype Guide.


Rules Questions


The guide gets ranger's focus in place of favored ennemy. Instead of working on a lot of creature, it works differently, on a specific target of your choice. The question is this: Does any spell that works/use the favored enemy ability still work with ranger's focus ?

The normal ranger gets Master Hunter at level 20. The ability works only vs your favored enemies. However, ranger's focus is supposed to replace favored enemy only... not favored enemy and also making you loose some spells, and in that case, the ability of Master hunter... so the question is: Can the guide use Master Hunter vs a the target of his ranger's focus ?

Last: Imaginve Ranger's focus +10. The ranger gets +10 to hit and to damage. He use at the same time his Inspired moment, that grants many things, but in the list, we have +4 to AC, and +4 to attack in bonus. If Ranger's focus and Inspired moment are both up at the same time... the total bonus are what ? Do they stack ?

Thanks.


You don't get Favored enemy, so those spells and Master hunter won't work. Suck it up or choose a different archetype. Thats how I read the rules, anyway.

Ranger's focus and Inspired moment both seems to be untyped, so the stack.


Yeah, thats how I read the rules too.

However, some archetype loose favored enemy, or favored terrain, and in the errata on the side, it is written that for the purpose of X power, spells, or ability, the new feature that replace it, is still considered to be the old one.

Ex: "How does a ranger with the Infiltrator archetype, which causes him to lose his favored terrain class feature, use his camouflage and hide in plain sight class features?"

Errata: "A ranger with the Infiltrator archetype can use the camouflage and hide in plain sight class features whenever he is using his adaptation class feature, regardless of the terrain he is in."

Also... if a new feature would replace some standard feature... Ex: Favored enemy is replace by Ranger's focus. And they say in the ranger's focus description, that this ability replace favored enemy, and nothing else, how can I be sure it is also made to replace something else like master hunter at later level ?

To me, even if no errata on that one was made, it may simply sounds like they missed it. However, Im sure this question was asked already.
