If you want continuity with the first Baldur's Gate, it'd be Ogres or Hobgoblins. Demonic / Fell is a solid choice, and Sahuagin and Kuo-Toa are good from a flavor point of view.

You know that there are less dragons in the game than you`ve got fingers?^^ the Dragons are such heavy enemies, i dont think this little bonus will help you a lot... [/QUOTE]Yes, i realise there are very few dragons, and was stating such in my first message... but my opinion remains the same. Dragons would make good use of the bonus, if you've ever tried to shoot a dragon with anything other than your spells, you'd know that they are difficult to hit. The +4 bonus is going to help you with them alot more than it would with Liches/vampires. As Six said, if you can hit the liches, they're pretty much dead, and as long as you are immune to level drain vampires are pathetic.

I tend to slice and dice my not-so-smart mind flayer opponents with my chaotically commanded, heavily armored warriors with a few skeleton warriors taking point... O_o

The creatures that you choose as your Racial Enemy do not recieve any bonuses against you, you simply take a Reaction penalty in your conversations with them (which I doubt is even implemented in the game). For example, if you chose Dragons, you would recieve a -4 THAC0 bonus to hit the Dragon, but also a -4 penalty to your ability to be polite and nice to the Dragon. For Valygar, either Golem or Lich would make sense as his Racial Enemy. Perhaps he chose Golem before he found out that he would need Lich. For Minsc, having him choose Vampire (and have proficiency in Mace) is an obvious nod from the powergamers at BioWare to keep Minsc in your team as you side against Bodhi. Sad, really. I've Shadowkeepered him back to his BG1 version, with Racial Enemy: Gnoll and points in 2-Handed Sword, Long Bow, and Axe.

I know in 3rd edition rules you choose more racial enemies at certain levels... What about 2nd edition rules? If they're the same way, it's justifiable to do that to Minsc (whose racial enemy has historically related to the plot). If it's only 3rd edition, well... They lifted the Sorcerer from 3rd edition, so what's one more borrowed rule?
