Hey, Rem, would it be possible for me to exchange Favoured Enemy (Whatever) for Favoured Environment (Aquatic)?
Also to exchange the class skill Knowledge (dungeoneering) for Knowledge (architecture and engineering)? Knowing about ship construction and the like seems a lot more related to the character than knowing about dungeons.
That seems kind of like taking Favored Enemy (Everything), so nau.
If you really want to. Keep in mind that Dungeoneering is the primary way to identify monsters and such.
Well, it wouldn't work on the islands, and the bonuses aren't actually the same (Favoured enemy: "The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of this type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures." Favoured environment: "Due to the ranger's experience in that environment, he gains a +2 bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills in that environment. He also gains the same bonus on Knowledge (nature) checks made in association with that environment").
As for dungeoneering, the primary way to identify aberrations, oozes, and stuff that's underground. Arcana, Religion and the Planes cover stuff like dragons, magical beasts, undead, outsiders and elementals, none of which I have as a class skill. Thankfully, local covers humanoids and nature covers a bunch of, well, natural things.
Nope, it's the same as the druid's due to a houserule Weird. And the position is called Prelate GWG.
I had forgotten that! Huh!
Well, it's not likely to be very impressive anyway, what with only one level in Ranger. Still, potentially handy!
