[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4238554, member: 35909"] I'm not sure if it's one type or not (though the last obviously only works with FE: Undead), all I know is, they're not worth taking if it doesn't apply to all. Favored PA I've never seen a need for, it does nothing to help the other weapon, so you're still not getting much use out of the PA you;ve spent 2 feats on now. If the DM allowed you to use the double weapon as a two-hander, striking with one end and thus get triple conversion (doubled-doubling), maybe, but still seems too situational. Haven't heard of those Dragon mag ones. The dodge one requires Dodge, I assume? Might be worth it, see last comment. If it weren't for needing a full attack, I'd even say take Desert Wind Dodge (Tome of Battle, requires a DW maneuver known) instead. Counts as Dodge for all purposes, and give you the +1 AC versus all foes. Only catch being you have to move 10 ft first. As for the Tactical Advantage...wow, that sounds amazing. It's giving you the same benefit as Solitary Hunter (class feature, costs animal companion) AND bonuses on stuff like trip, etc...? If it's as good as you say and works on all favored enemies, seems like a no-brainer. The undead one's only worth it if the game you're playing in is primarily undead-infested (I have no knowledge of AoW). Lastly, all the FE feats get much better in a game where the DM allows some form of Extra Favored Enemy, so the opportunities to use the feats are more frequent. Unless the DM likes running mostly the same monster types at you, in which case you're set. I'd advise Magical Beast. There's just so darn many of them, and lots of them are tough fights, too.
