[QUOTE="Numenorean, post: 2282434, member: 7264"] Take my own ranger character for example. One of his favored enemies are humans, namely evil humans. My character has had a lot of experience tracking down and battling evil humans such as bandits, brigands, assassins, cult of the dragon members, zhentarim men-at-arms, etc. That being said my character does not run around hating on all humans, after all he is a human! But what it represents is his experiences and skills, and his biases too. (To avoid being a munchkin I actually told the DM my favored enemy was evil humans, such as the ones listed above that I've had experience fighting over the years) A better example is giants. Another favored enemy of my character. Now I know from my adventures and travels that most giants, the more common ones are evil- hill, frost, fire, formorian, ettins, some clouds, etc. I don't particulary like Giants. However I've also worked with a goodly cloud giant in the past so I know not ALL giants are evil, but most are. I don't care for evil ones, however the goodly ones I am willing to befriend and work with. My character acknowledges that fact. Oh I agree. However some instances fall right in to it. Such as orcs. Well then call it niavete. For example orcs, most if not nearly all orcs are evil. No ranger in their right mind would around giving each orc "the benefit of the doubt" so he doesn't appear to be prejudiced. My character has orcs as a favored enemy (+2). I will quote his background on this: " xxxxx despises orcs. He will kill them on sight unless there is a compelling reason not to do so". :) [/QUOTE]
