Favored Enemy Bug(s)

[Jasparius]

Updated the OP with info from a later post. It was tenacious hunter damage that was applying regardless of weapon type not favored enemy damage applying.

Posting in General in great to get eyeballs but be sure to post in the Bugs section and let us know so we can post there as well, so SSG see it.

This sounds like a massively broken bug which impacts a core part of Rangers.

You can take Favored Enemy: Thri-Kreen? Awesome!

But yeah, thinking to change my ranger to another class after I found this out.

It's called favoured enemy: vermin ahahaha.

Eye of the beholder ftw

As non-mammals they are already a step above most races.

They don't sleep, don't need to drink much, and they can happily subsist on elf flesh, what's not to like?

I thought they would have better taste then to eat elfs

I've reported this bug in the recent past and it has reportedly been punted towards the Q&A team. Whether that leads to something or not is up to the ssgods - and they're known to be capricious and fickle beings.

FWIW : my testing involved hitting both favored and non-favored targets with 1d2+11 - 1d2+14 damage in Korthos on an iconic dark hunter and there was no difference whatsoever regardless if I used no weapon (fists) or a 1d2 +1 shuriken. There was no damage change regardless. The screenies of feat selections, character and combat log were sent with the bug report at the time. [with 3 favored enemy feats that is: +6 damage should be *very* noticeable - but there was no difference - tested vs Humans, Monstrous Humanoids and Undead as those were all easily available FE's with easy targets to find].

Sometimes I like to imagine that elves developed the ability to not need sleep in order to keep a wary watch on their thri-kreen "companions" during camp.

Oh sorry, this got fixed in update 73.1. Not sure why they didn't put it in the notes, but several people have already confirmed it is working as intended now. Thanks to whichever dev got that working again!

I have this one in real life.

Is favored enemy even supposed to work on bosses?

 

[Hobgoblin]

yes? why wouldnt it?

 

[Bjond]

yes? why wouldnt it?

DM: rolls a perception check behind the screen (it's a "1")
Player: huh, why are you rolling now?
DM: oh, no reason; that's just how I roll

Spoiler: It was just a dumb joke that whooshed a bit ..

You can't pick your real life boss as a favored enemy

I wonder when this bug was introduced. I remember when they added the cumulative favored enemy bonus, when they updated the ranger enhancement trees and I do remember it working back then.

I think it’s been broken at lea 5 years. I don’t really remember it working and thought the devs knew.
