In second edition, the ranger has a +4 to hit a racial enemy. This enemy must be chosen by second level.

What happens if its not chosen by second level?

Well, there's absolutely no reason not to. What happens if you don't pick a weapon proficiency when you reach a certain level?

You cannot level-up without chosing those thnigs. Without your racial enemy, your ranger wont ever reach level 2. Without chosing your proficiencies/thief skills/sorcerer spells you wont level up.

Really? Apart from Sunray or False dawn I couldn't even do anything against them...

If you are immun to magic the lichs aren`t really a problem...Its the same trick you can use in the fight against Kangaxxx(how many x`s does he has?^^). Cast magic immunity on your fighters and wait till the lich`s protections spells are away. Give the fighter(s) a good weapon an kill the lich...
And there arent so many lichs in the game...

I've Shadowkeepered him back to his BG1 version, with Racial Enemy: Gnoll and points in 2-Handed Sword, Long Bow, and Axe.

Why didnt I came up with this Idea, thx SixOfSpades, I was always searching for a solution for that problem when i played BG2^^

Did you lower his DEX and CON as well? You can do the same to Jaheira while you're at it, if you'd like. ;)

My point is that there are inconsistencies between the two games, because they're two different games.

No--I was going to make both his BG1 and BG2 versions use the average of his two sets of stats, but since there's only 1 point of difference between them, and I would have to round up, I just left them alone.

As for Jaheira, I actually increased her BG1 DEX to match her BG2 DEX, because she needs that boost if she's really going to contribute....Druids really get the shaft in BG1, no good spells at all.
