Has there been an official ruling on how Goblinoids are treated as far as the Ranger's Favored Enemy goes? I know that all Goblinoids that I know of are of the Humanoid type but would the whole family be considered one race for the Humanoid Type or would you have to choose the subraces individually? I have seen many good solid arguments both ways on the matter, but am looking for something official.

Here you go:
"If you're choosing a type of humanoid for Favored Enemy, goblinoid is too broad, but goblin, hobgoblin, bugbear, or the like works."
"More about Favored Enemy. It tells you to pick a creature type, but if you pick humanoid, you choose two races of humanoid. Goblinoid isn't a race. As explained in the Monster Manual, goblinoid is a family of races. Goblin, bugbear, and hobgoblin are races."
"Elf is a race. Goblinoid is not a race; it is a family of races."
Cool thanks, I don't think that too much of a better source could be had.
