Ways for cleric to buff ranger?

[frankthedm]

I've had significant success with Imbue With Spell Ability to bestow a pair of Divine Favor spells on party fighter-types.

well, that would be quite strong if not for one problem...

Imbue with Spell Ability :: d20srd.org
Only cleric spells from the schools of abjuration, divination, and conjuration (healing) can be transferred.

Divine Favor
Evocation

Oops. I guess that puts an end to that. My poor PCs. Well spotted.

Edit: But really, is that limitation necessary? You pay a 4th level spell to do it after all. With that limitation in place, the spell seems almost worthless. What do people think?
