What's the best over-all racial enemy for a Ranger?

Dragons, perhaps?

Well you want something that's reasonably hard to kill, and that there are a lot of. Vampires is a good idea, though if you've got Minsc his enemy is vampires, so you mightn't want to double up. I don't think you can get beholders, but that would be good too. Demons maybe? There are quite a few, or golems (but again I don't think you can choose golems). Dragons maybe, but there aren't that many and it probably wouldn't really make a difference, if you're not tough enough to kill a dragon, having it as a racial enemy probably wouldn't help, same with something like a lich. Oh also mindflayers, there are heaps of those.

So my picks are vampires, then mindflayers, then demons (unless you can pick beholders etc) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif.

Golems are found everywhere, so are
beholders it seems. Pick something
powerful!!

You can choose golems as well http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif I would choose Beholder, but you'll have to get some serious magic resistance.

maybe not the most practicle, but i picked goblins i think for my half game as a ranger. they're ugly, mean, nasty and fun to just completely obliterate.

I actually found it quite useful to have dragons as my racial enemy, it also enhances a stalker's spell-casting on that particular creature. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif I had the shadow dragon under a horror spell from my stalker. Then I could kill it at my liesure.

I might still pick Vamps if you have Minsc, they are a pain in my ass, IMO, and they're so...so....vampirish...

I'd either pick that or the French...http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif

valygar's racial enemy is golems. beholders are a legit choice.

I would definately go with demons or dragons.. by the time you get to ToB, you'll be fighting more than a few of them...
