Is it me or every ranger especially multi-classed should not take their favored style if they really want it to be their favored style. Let me explain, this question came up while I was discusting with the Barbarian/ranger in my group which favored style he should take. He is already a specialist in the great axe(weapon focus, power attack, and cleave) now he just reach 6th level Bar4/Ran2 and must choose a favored style. He first taught that 2 weapon fighting would be cool but as we analysed the situation he would be much better taking great cleave and use the bonus to allow it's character to use more effectively a bow(He is not a ranged kind of guy but don't mind being able to shoot 3 arrows in a round).
I looked into the issue more in details and realised that if you want to really focus on a weapon style and still benefits from the ranger feats ,you should focus your normal feats on your prefered style and let the ranger feats be a second "nice to have' style.
Can anyone have an exemple of why not doing it this way with a single class ranger other than, I will get 6 attack instead of 5 at the 11 level instead of 12 logic. Not that great anyway since the 6th attack is done at BAB +1.
As for the bow I don't see any advantages, if you want to be a good archer you will have to take point blank anyway.
The only thing I can see is for NPC which you don't want to see evolve. You just want your 3 level NPC elf enemy ranger to be the best archer he can be.
But if you plan to go to 6th level or above my theory starts to apply.
