I don't think so. having played Rangers for years that would fly in
the face of the rational expressed for the "Species Enemy" bonus. The
rational is as follows; (this is paraphrasing(sp)BTW) Rangers spend a
great deal of time learning the fighting styile physiology(sp) and
habits of their species enemy. They study thier weapons and armor to a
fanatical level learning all the strenghts and weaknesses of that race,
thus gaining the bonus. An individual might conform to the above,
pyshiology obviously, but wouldn't be worth the rangers time to study to
that degree. A class would be much the same as an idividual though it
might be possible if your gm allowed it. There is some rational behind
say a wizard slayer in a barbarian culture (Vos, perhaps) but over all
I'd say that race is the best determination of the species enemy. Oh and
I wouldn't use race in the sense of khinasi, Vos, etc. I would say
human, elf, goblin etc. when speaking of race or rather species. (Boy
that was a lousy sentence).
