what are RANGERS GOOD for?

Son of a God? Shouldn't that be God of a Sun in your case?

I read that a lot of people think bow and arrow THACO's are cumulative, but IIRC that wasn't the case in BG1, so I doubt it is now.
I also think the called shot bonus is a bit like the chromatic orb. The bonus gets better, but they are not cumulative. I do believe bonuses of the same type are if you use several called shots at the same time (although I'm an archer, I never had to use the called shot once. Legolas was good enhough already )

I just found out ranger archers CAN wear the shodaw dragon armor, I suppose then they can also wear the firkragg armor. This completely removes the "no metal armor" for archers disavantage considdering the firkragg armor is one of the best armor in the game. Pretty good!

Sorry, That's one to many.

It is true that archers can wear shadow dragon armour, but IIRC it counts as leather armour. As you will see, you can still hide in shadows with it.
Firekraag's armour, on the other hand, becomes metal armour. This means you can not wear it if you are an archer or a thief. Too bad, eh?

There are sooooooooo many anti-missile things in the game that archers are not soo good!
ie:
gloves of missile snaring
elves bane
reflection shield
fortress shield
boots of avoidance
kit: monk

Oh surely the bow enchantment is NOT cumultive with arrows?
Does this mean a +4 bow and a +2 arrow will mean +6 weapon?! I think NOT

Wooohooooo, page 4!

Well. I think they messed up the rangers in BGII. I think they are the only ones suposed to dual weapons don't they? I dunno.

But i don't thing they are that bad. Stalker looks ok but u can have the same with a thief/fighter. U get some spells, but they are not that great. I think if they restricted especialization in dual to rangers, they could be more worthy. Archers are great for sure. But beast master sucks.

And the spells they get are no good. Only level 3 druid spells .

And their XTable are too hard.

Your forgetting most people dont play multiplayer to be a PK. You show me one enemy that uses those items. Also I only know of 1 monk in the game and shes only level 10.
