[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 756495, member: 4134"] I think the reason why outsiders cannot be chosen is that they are to diverse to study them all, and that would extend to evil outsiders, since that could mean an evil geni, a devil, a demon, a yugoloth,..... [B][/B] That's another rule variant, which I wholehartedly support: an elf has every reason to take Drow as their favored enemy (especially worshippers of Solonor and Shaverash). Also, it's even more specialized than elf, so it should be OK. The only thing is that a non-evil elf would technically choose his own race (both are elves), but I think that the differences between sub-races are big enough to allow that. So there would be: elf(surface), elf(drow) dwarf(duergar), dwarf (derro), dwarf ("normal"). Evil members of the races could of course take the whole race, so an evil drow ranger would get the bonuses against drow and all other elves. That depends. If your DM is a member of B.A.D.D. or has a similar outlook, than don't bother, at least if you think the dragons (chromatic and metallic) only, and don't consider wyverns and the like... Because if you really take on a real dragon played by a DM that plays them right, you'll probably end up against an enemy whose CR is on par with your party level, and therefore should be a piece of cake, but is to powerful for its CR as is, and uses masterful tactics, uses it's lair and the terrain around, knows that you're coming and is prepared. And uses all of it's powers to the full... [/QUOTE]
