[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9404031, member: 7030563"] That is not true RAW. It is only true on each use, but because it uses no action you can use it every single time you hit, the upper limit is your proficiency bonus or the number of hits you make. If my 5th level Ranger is fighting 3 Orcs I can attack one of them use Favored Foe, do an extra 1d4, then attack a second it and use favored foe on it and do 1d4 to it, then attack a 3rd and mark it and do 1d4 to it. I can do this against a single Orc too as long as I remark it every single hit. Doing this uses all three of my FF uses for the day. I can also as an alternative Crit fish with it. This is objectively not true in games I play (and I play up to level 20 often) and it is not true in games I see online. The average fight lasts 3-4 rounds and has about 3-5 enemies. That is more than one enemy dropping each round and if you are using Focus Fire then that enemy is going to usually be the one you have marked. Aside from switching Marks after death, you have to add in losing concentration as well, which also costs a Bonus action to restart it. There are boss fights that last longer than this where you can hold the Mark on a single enemy, and in those fights it is better than FF, but in those fights after mid level you probably want to concentrate on something better than Hunter's Mark or Favored Foe.
