It's silly, bad game design, and make the ranger look like a douche.It's silly because it's a huge bonus to a niche thing in an abstract system.It's bad game design because the DM must keep this in mind when designing encounters. "I must add a few encounters with aberrations in this city adventure or else class balance is in jeopardy."It makes the ranger look like a douche because favoring an enemy is stupid and not very heroic.In the old days rangers were good at fighting giants and in those days weapons did different damage to S/M or L enemies. –Bring that back. Give rangers a bonus to damage against L creatures. It makes the ranger a natural born monster killer. Which is cool and very useful. It has exactly the same drawbacks as FE, described above, but somehow I'm okay with this.</blockquote>
