Please forgive me for this very very basic question. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for and I have my first campaign since the update starting Sunday. I am a Ranger, outlander background, wood elf. I see Favored Enemy listed, but couldn't see a place to select a language for my favored enemy? I also did not see anywhere to select a Favored Terrain. Did these things disappear with the 2024 Ranger? Am I just being stupid? I wish I had more time to do research before asking a silly question, but I'm a mom of 3 kids and this campaign is going to be my biweekly escape from parenting.

The 24 ranger no longer has “favored enemy” in the classic sense. The power has the same name, but now you just get hunter’s mark as a known spell, and a few free casts of it per day.
It also no longer has favored terrain. So, no, you are not being silly and not missing anything. It’s just not there anymore.
The ‘24 version of ranger has a number of differences from either of the ‘14 & Tasha versions although it’s more similar to Tasha. Before playing I would read thru carefully to make sure you understand those changes. It’s a solid class but not quite the same as before. Languages come more from the background now not class/subclass features.

The 2014 ranger is not the same as the 2024 version. Neither of those versions are like AD&D & 2e and 3e and 4e.
So if you are expecting X class from a previous edition to be verbatim in another edition, you will probably be disappointed.
