Favored Enemy (5e Class Feature)
Favored Enemy[edit]
You have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy.
Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select; celestials and fiends, or oozes and plants, or two races of humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) as favored enemies.
You have advantage on Wisdom checks involving your favored enemies and on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.
You also have a +2 bonus to damage with weapon attacks made against your favored enemies, which increases to +3 at 6th level, and +4 at 14th level.
When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all. You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language, at 6th and 14th level.
At 10th level you may select to replace the favored enemy you selected at 1st level, though you do not gain a language for this shift.
As you gain levels, your choices should reflect the types of monsters you have encountered on your adventures.
