I was looking at the SRD at the ranger's favored enemy list and didn't see lycanthrothopes or shape changers on the list. Would either of these be an availible choice for a ranger?

Lycanthorpes are always Humanoid (race, Shapechanger). You could ask for a housrule on Humanoid (Shapechanger) being a valid favored enemy, but otherwise, no, as the text on ranger says "From the table" specifically.

Ah, right. I'm reading the examples :smalleek:

Eeevil examples. Remember kids: The truth is not in the examples. The truth is in the template, the true truth, the whole truth, and mostly the truth, if we discount errata.

Yes, always read the text for details like this. You can't trust the examples to cover everything, they're ebil like that.


Anyway, unless the setting includes prolific lycanthropy, I would advise against taking (or making) a house-ruled Lycanthrope favored enemy. It's simply too narrow to hope to get use out of.
