It also means that they aren't affected by Human-Bane weapons, which seem to be a lot more popular than Orc-Bane.

As a ranger they can take favored enemy: human (and not need to be evil to do it).

You don't need to be evil to take your race as a favored enemy in 3.5 (an excellent rules change, IMO).

Yep. Unbalanced stats, Darkvision, and a racial "ability" that's more a hindrance than anything.

Oh, but they're just as good as any other character race, and there's no need to improve them in the revision.
