Disclaimer: I have never made a ranger and had no clue what to go for in regards to Favored Enemies. I also have no idea what the average Called Shot DC is these days.
Pro:
57 Called Shot DC w/o demi or arti
(Edit: I calculated that a brownie ranger will only hit 56 with no arti or demi)
A butt load of favored enemies
decent ab
136 AC in URs
Con:
Uses shortbow
Saves are a little shoddy, but doable
HK Zen Ranger
Gnome
Small Size
