Was a thing in 3rd Edition, removed in 3.5. From the 3.0 SRD:
quote:
At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature as a favored enemy. (A ranger can only select his own race as a favored enemy if he is evil.)
From the 3.5 SRD:
quote:
At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature from among those given on Table: Ranger Favored Enemies.
As you can see, the parenthetical text is conspicuously absent.
