    This has been discussed before in the old forum but what do you think is best for my cleric/ranger?

    Cadaverous or Skeletal undead would be my top picks, seeing as they're probably the most often encountered enemy in the game, Spectral undead being the most uncommon of the lot.
    Salamanders are an alright picks as well, as you'll run into both frost and fire salamanders later in the game.
    Goblins or Orcs are an okay pick for an early game boost, but they're easily enough dispatched even without the +4 to your to-hit and damage rolls.
    Umber hulks, Lizardmen and Yuan-ti only feature in a few select areas, but might warrant a pick if your party composition makes it a pain to deal with them.
    As for Spiders, Giants and Trolls - you won't be running into enough of them to really warrant the bonus.

    I also have an undead hunter so I figured he could whoop ass with the undead. Maybe I'll try the Salamanders
