I do know that I need to click on it when I have a mob selected that is being attacked by a friendly, but that's it.

Thanks.
Heeey, you put me into some tough situation here. Most time i'm active, it's hard to find party and most QC members are sleeping. Thus, i have no buddy to test it.
So, if you see me in game and wanna see how it works (player name easterncheese), poke me and i'll make a test toon and we test it together :)

For example, you may think bugbear is monstruous humanoid but it's goblinoid.
The only source on Bgtscc i found related to it is here:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=74587&hilit=favored+enemy&start=15

Though, there is no specific list that matches Bgtscc mobs and if they don't fall into standard categories, we need devs to look at each moster one by one in order to see their type.

In most cases, i believe, you can refer to this wiki thread:
https://nwn2.fandom.com/wiki/Creature

Wolves being beasts is kind of unusual, maybe dire wolves can fall into that category, but not usual mundane animal wolves.
As of Planetouched, i believe they are either humanoids or planetouched(If such FE category exists). They are not outsiders on their own.

Issue is that I for example attacked a wolf with favored enemy: beasts and didn't get the extra 2 AB from Bane of enemies. I have mostly like 0 idea of what animal falls in what category. For example, are tiefling and aasimar outsiders or humanoids?
Animal
An animal is a nonhuman, usually vertebrate creature. Animals have very low intelligence and usually low-light vision. This category does not include invertebrates, which are classed as vermin.[11] Examples include bears, crocodiles, horses, and wolves.[13] Dire animals are also considered animals.[12]

Beast
A beast is similar to an animal, but they are non-historical and usually possess darkvision.[11] Examples include bulettes, dinosaurs, griffons, owlbears, and purple worms.[12]
I'm going to look into adjusting the tlk descriptions for the various Favoed Enemy feats to make it more clear what things they apply to.

Does anyone know which invocations benefit from the fey power feat?

and also

which invocations (other than Word of Changing) benefit from the ability focus invocation feat?

As of first, there are some invocations that are doubled as arcane spells thus they have spellschool associated with it.
Like: Quill Barrage (transmutation), Firestride exhalation (transmutation), Baleful domination (enchantment), Baleful polymorph (transmutation), Primal speed (transmutation), Dragon scales (abjuration), Dreadful word (enchantment), Ill Omen (necromancy), Lure Shadow Demons (Conjuration), Otherworldly leap (conjuration), witch sight (divination).

So, fey power should give those from enchantment school +1 DC (I didn't test it though). But, basically, Fey Power +1 DC is meant to be for Sorcerers. For warlocks, it simply is another +1 like practiced invoker in terms of your blast progression.
Say, you are level 12 warlock with 6d6 eldritch blast. Taking practiced invoker makes you equivalent to lvl 16 warlock, thus you get 7d6 eldritch blast (lvl 14 warlock stuff). If you then add fey power, you get 8d6 eldritch blast, because you become 12+5 invoker and lvl 17 gives another dice of eldritch blast. In other words, it's useful when you have more than 4 levels in non-blast progressing classes.

As of your second question, it's all invocations except for blasts and their shapes and except those that don't have DC at all (like your own buffs).

Thxs,
so it should affect:
?
Charm, Curse of Despair, Dread Seizure, Firestride Exhalation, Frightful Presence, Voracious Dispelling, Caustic Web, Chilling Tentacles, Devour Magic, Tenacious Plague, Wall of Perilous Flame, Painful Slumber of Ages, Baleful Polymorph, Baleful Domination, Dreadful Word, Ill Omen and Instill Vulnerability
?

But what about the Eldritch Essences? :?

Well, yeah. I didn't test all of them but it definitely affects them.
Blasts and their essences are totally unaffected. In fact, there is a feat called "ability spell focus eldritch blast" but it was removed on Bgtscc, so you can't pump your DCs on those in straight way.
Ah, one more correction. It won't affect Devour Magic, and Voracious dispelling cause they don't have DCs, they are dispels and do only rely on your 1d20 + CL limit (10 for voracious dispelling and 20 for devour magic). They are your lesser dispel and greater dispel with extras you can spam.

OOTBI with throwing, Xbow, and sling

Does Throwing weapons, Xbow, or sling gain damage bonuses from Ranged Precision or Sharp-shooting feats?

Thanks!

Thanks for testing. So it sounds like it's even more buggy with non- bow weapons than it normally is. And I bet if all you do is Manyshot each turn, it doesn't even show up. I had a really hard time testing it myself on Jeggs to see for sure what was happening. I personally did not see a damage increase from OOBI which is why I asked.

So the real question is which part of the attack stream can on e consistently get the damage to work?

Sorry, it's hard to tell. I certainly didn't hit for less than 10 (OoBI 10, and that accounts DR), so it means that +10 works. But i can't confirm it works on every hit or if there is a pattern that X attacks get boosted while Y are not.
