[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 8116843, member: 6807784"] Favored Foe uses Concentration, so you still aren't getting use out of your spell slots. Because of that, it is the same as having been forced to cast Hunter's Mark. I think you may have gotten confused in my argument, so let me rephrase: [LIST] [*]The bulk of the Ranger's spell list in combat requires Concentration. [*]Because Hunter's Mark AND Favored Foe use Concentration, you can't enjoy the usagae of your main class feature as freely as virtually any other class. [*]Because the Ranger cannot use Favored Foe AND its spell list, its is markedly different from every other class, and the reasons for this do not, in my opinion, justify it. +1d6 damage (scaling) once per turn a few times per Long Rest is NOT more powerful a Paladin's Smite or an Artificer's Infusions, so why is it they can enjoy their spell lists but the Ranger cannot? [/LIST] If you do not think the Ranger would be balanced AND more enjoyable if Favored Foe or Hunter's Mark didn't require Concentration, then ok, that's our discussion! But I personally think the Ranger would be a more enjoyable and satisfying class if its core class feature did not eat up Concentration. Is it better than the current Favored Enemy? Yes! But just because its better now doesn't it can't be even MORE better, you know? [/QUOTE]
