Hi,
I wonder who are the dwarven favored enemies? Giants are sure but second? Orcs or Goblinoids? Can someone give advice please? |

you have the giant part right... dwarves even get a racial dodge bonus vs. them.
also.. all of the goblinoids, and plenty of the underdark races. dwarven mines go deep into the earth and this leads to conflict with drow, illithids, duergar and other scary monsters. |

Humanoid(Humans) -- I've never met a dwarf but if I did I'm quite certain he would be trying to kill me.
Also Animals, animals and dwarves just don't mix. "There are no atheists in foxholes" isn't an argument against atheism, it's an argument against foxholes. |

I'd say Giants. Give those pesky Ogres and Trolls what for!

Orcs, goblins, giants. These are the ones whom Dwarves already have racial bonuses against.
Next would be Elves. As a rule, Elves hate Dwarves because they're pissed about Dwarves kicking so much more ass than them. As a result Dwarves have to watch out for ambushes from pansy elves who never want to get into melee because they suck. But typically, these aren't too much of a worry for Dwarves, because Elves suck. What the deuce are you staring at? It's tuna fish... and nothing else! |

Giants, goblinoids, then elves would be the "traditional" route.
dwarves (duergar) is such a narrow choice that I'd find it hard to reconcile, unless backstory called for it. humanoids (humans), dragons (pretty common overlap in regard to environment with dwarves and some dragons), or ooze could be some good, practical choices. And back to the traditional route, fey, magical beasts, and plants are going to be your least ideal choices. The "power" choices, for any ranger, are giant, dragon, abberation, and undead. |

With their proclivity to plague the underdark, I'm amazed that Aberrations wasn't right at the top of everyone's list.

Humanoid(Dwarves) would be neat to. Afterall, you know the most about them already!

If the Dwarf spends most of his time in the Underdark I would say:
Abberations Humanoids (Dwarves) Humanoids (Elves) Goblins In no particular order. "What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also." Gaius Julius Caesar |

And of course, there's the obvious.
"Hey, Mr DM...what direction are you taking the campaign in? I'd like my Ranger abilities to count for something, so if you can give me some sense of direction before I spend my FE on something we'll never face, I'd really appreciate it." "Whadda ya mean, Orcs get levels too?!?"
