Racial enemy Options

[Shadan]

I am curious what type of favoured enemy did u chose for your ranger. I am thinking on golems, many and hard enemy in IA, but raksahasa, lich or demonic would be fine also.

I think that the most useful choices are either Golems or Spiders.
Golems are plentiful throughout the game and a +4 bonus against the entry level Golems (Coin and Gem) can make a big difference early on. Defeating these Golems is not only good for advancing through quests but also for gaining revenue in this cash strapped mod.
Spiders are also plentiful early on and a +4 bonus is vital against the new improved ones. These Spiders are potential plot stoppers if not defeated and are must kill creatures in the early-middle game.
Both Golems and the more powerful Spiders are very hard to defeat with magic therefore having melee bonus is very useful.

As to others;
Rakshasas are in the early game but then they disappear until the end of SoA. Also a +4 bonus is not much good against Absolute Immunity and I find the early ones not hard to kill once it wears off.
Liches again are easy to kill if you can hit them so a bonus is of little use.
Demonic is a reasonable choice but not as good as Spiders or Golems because they are not as plentiful and occur later in the game when any reasonable party should be tough enough and well equiped enough to deal with them (Judgment Day encounters excepted).
In fact one of my pet peeves is that Demons and Devils should be among the most brutal adversaries in the whole game yet is harder to kill a golem or a greater carrion crawler
