Q: Can a ranger take lycanthropes or Humanoids (shapechangers) as a favored enemy?

[Farcaster]

Hmm... In my game, I'd probably house rule that the ranger could choose Lycanthropes as a favored enemy. It makes sense that one could specialize in dispatching warecreatures in all their forms. Or at least, it does to me.

[Moritz]

I'm totally with ya here Farcaster. It makes total sense that a ranger would be gunning for them. Just like a Druid could see them as an abomination and may get such a favored enemy option as well (if there is such a thing for druid).
