Ilsurian Archer and potentially detrimental favored enemy?


Advice


I'm playing an Ilsurian Archer in a campaign, and though I haven't gotten there yet, I'm looking at a potential problem with Vicious aim.

Vicious Aim (Ex): At 4th level, an Ilsurian archer adds half his highest favored enemy bonus to all attack rolls and damage rolls for attacks made with ranged weapons. This does not stack with his normal favored enemy bonus when targeting a creature that qualifies as a favored enemy. This ability replaces all spellcasting, and the Ilsurian ranger is not considered to have a caster level.

So if I were to lets say start with Favored Enemy human and keep stacking it, at level 5 I would have +4 against humans, and +2 against anything else and the second favored enemy, lets say orcs

But at level 10, if I pump Favored Enemy Human again, would I have +6 vs humans, +2 vs orcs and +3 vs anything else? Or would it be +6 vs humans, +3 vs anything else?

The wording has me slightly confused, because I could see it going either way. Thoughts?


If this is a home game, I would rule that you'd get to use the higher of the two. "This does not stack", I would assume means you just use the highest bonus similar to enhancement bonuses.
