Likewise, due to practice with combat techniques effective against the creature, the elven ranger gets a +2 bonus on damage rolls against her favored enemy. When attacking a favored enemy within 30 feet using a ranged weapon, the elven ranger's damage bonus doubles to +4. This bonus does not apply to damage against creatures immune to critical hits. At 3rd level and every two levels thereafter (5th, 7th and 9th levels), the elven ranger selects another favored enemy from Table 4-6. In addition, each time a new favored enemy is selected, the competence bonus on skill checks against previously selected enemies increases by +2. Thus, at 5th level, an elven ranger will receive a +2 bonus on checks against the enemy chosen at 5th level, +4 against the enemy chosen at 3rd level, and +6 against the enemy chosen at 1st level. If a creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the bonuses do not stack; the elven ranger simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

Arrow Cleave (Ex): A bow in the hands of a 10th- level elven ranger becomes a weapon capable of shots with incredible power and precision.

If the second target is dropped below 0 points by the attack, the ranger may take a third attack against another creature within one-quarter of the weapon's range increment from the second target, and so on - the maximum distance between potential targets halving each time a target is successfully dropped.
