Ranger Favored Enemy

It seems that the ranger favored enemy attack bonus does not stack with...well pretty much any temporary bonus doesn't stack with it.

Also, flanking does not stack with the favored enemy bonus. As far as I can tell, NO bonus of any kind will stack with it.

Any word on this bug yet? Is this working as intended, or is this bug?

It's a bug, but I'm not sure exactly how to solve it. I am investigating it.

This is still an issue.

I have an idea for how to fix it, but I haven't had time to implement it yet.

I was just curious if this was still an issue.

It is, My ranger has fav enemy vermin, and uses the vermin +1 ab shortsowrd, it says 7 Ab +8 vs vermin + 8 vs vermin, so It says vermin +8 twice.

I thought the favored enemy bonus didn't show up on your stat sheet, only in your combat log when you attack. I guess the way to tell is if you attack non vermin and you see your 1d20+x roll. If the x is 1 point lower when you attack the non-vermin than when you attack the vermin, then it's working.

If you see it's 2 points lower when attacking non-vermin than when attacking vermin, then the sword you have is stacking properly.

though I haven't played as a ranger in a very long time in EfU so I'm not sure if it's bugged or not.

If you watch the status window when you attack your favored enemy, the AB that you are attacking with is correct.

prestonhunt If you watch the status window when you attack your favored enemy, the AB that you are attacking with is correct.

Have you tested that recently prestonhunt?

When I was playing my ranger it would list like that on my sheet, but with most AB bonuses it wouldn't stack in the combat log or on my sheet.

I think the only bonus I remember ever stacking were ones that increased the stat affecting my AB.

I always watch the status window Vlaid, it lets me know who has the biggest AB, and therefore who I should be killing first.

So yes, I have tested this recently.

Still an issue!

Favoured enemy bonus vs Chosen is pretty redundant, I found out :D Any silver weapon nullifies the bonus, and it doesn't let you beat their DR

As far as I know, it is working correctly. It may give you a buggy number on your character sheet, but as Prestonhunt has said, in the combat log you'll get the correct number with Ranger FE included.

Tested it today vs Crazy Jane.

Str 14 + 5 ranger levels + (Ranger 2 favoured enemy) + Pure Silver weapons

2 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 11

I had an AB of 9.

I don't think it stacks with bonuses on weapon bonuses that are specific to a race, but I do believe it stacks with everything else.

Mornington Crescent Tested it today vs Crazy Jane.

Str 14 + 5 ranger levels + (Ranger 2 favoured enemy) + Pure Silver weapons

2 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 11

I had an AB of 9.

Just curious is this your character sheet or from your combat window display? I ask this because it is my experience that the character sheet is wrong more then right.

This is still a bug. When I use magic weapon, it does not increase my AB vs favored enemy, only my base favored enemy. It led to a situation where I had more AB normally than vs my favored enemy, which was odd!

Yep. This is still the case, btw.
