Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 4795806" data-attributes="member: 13966">3.5 is stupid and specifically indicates you have to choose from the stupid little list that it gives.  In 3.0 you just had to specify a subtype if you chose humanoid or outsider, but in 3.5 it actually lists the specific subtypes of each that you're supposed to choose from.  It's retarded and is based on the assumption your games will never include a creature that isn't one of those core subtypes.  Even though they stupidly forgot to include several core subtypes among that list.  And that list of favored enemies doesn't include later creature types like Deathless from Eberron.  Never mind such non-core subtypes as those in the Expanded Psionics Handbook and the "Races of Stone/Destiny/the Wild/whatever" books.Humanoid (Shapechanger) should be perfectly acceptable as a favored enemy selection.  It just explicitly requires DM approval due to 3.5's bad redesign.  They couldn't just stick to fixing the small number of things that actually needed it......noooooo.......It is so incredibly stupid how they limited it for no particular reason, when it was perfectly clear in the 3.0 write-up of the ability that you could choose any creature type and, for humanoids or outsiders, any subtype.Just one of many idiotic, pointless changes implemented in 3.5 to confuse people just as much as the 3.5 revisers were confused when they went into a flurry of changes for the sake of change alone.</blockquote>
