Putting together a character for a possible run in Jade Regent but this is my first foray into Rangers as a whole since beginning Pathfinder play. The Infiltrator looks like the best option for me right now and I'm trying to pre-plan my favored enemies and the attendent Infiltrator abilities that will come with them.
The character in question will be a Dwarven Infiltrator (I don't think I'm going to stack another archetype onto it) who will focus on two-weapon fighting and will have an animal companion (undecided). The rest of the party will be a Human Witch, a Human Barbarian and a Halfling Archeologist.
This is what I'm thinking:
1st - Favored Enemy (Goblinoid +2)
3rd - Infiltrator ability: Fast (Goblinoid)
5th - Favored Enemies (Goblin +2, Giant +4)
8th - Infiltrator abilities: Resist Fire: 10 (Giant), Resist Cold: 10 (Giant)
10th - Favored Enemies (Goblinoid +2, Dragon +2, Giant +6)
13th - Infiltrator abilities: Lunge (Dragon), Resist Electricity: 10 (Giant)
15th - Favored Enemies (Goblinoid +2, Dragon +2, Animal +2, Giant +8)
15th - Infiltrator abilities: Swim 15 (Animal), Climb 15 (Animal)
20th - Favored Enemies (Goblinoid +2, Dragon +2, Animal +2, Outsider: Evil +2, Giant +10)
The main thought behind focusing on the Giants specifically is in part because it suits the traditional nature of dwarves but mechanically its so that I can get the greatest eventual benefit from Instant Enemy.
Any thoughts or insight into the character or the AP (without actual spoilers, of course) would be much appreciated.

Teamwork feats will also be taken by Animal Companion at around the same level. I'm making the character melee-centric (obviously) and crit-focused, going for higher static bonuses than larger damage dice.
Bump.
