Elf

Elves are certainly the right race for Ranger and probably the first to come into your head when creating this character.

2. Keen Senses: the hero is proficient in Perception;
3. Fey Ancestry: the hero will have an advantage during saving throws against charms, and the magic can't put them to sleep;

Depending on the subrace you choose, you can affect your Ranger even more.

1. High-Elf subrace: You can travel 9 meters per Turn, +1 to Intelligence;
2. Wood-Elf subrace: basic walking speed 10.5 meters, proficient in Stealth, +1 to Wisdom.

Halfling

Halfling is another good choice if you want to roll Ranger in Baldur's Gate 3, especially with Lightfoot Halfling subrace.

1. Race Bonus: +2 to dexterity;
2. Lucky: when you throw 1 for an attack roll, ability check or saving throw you can reroll the dice and must use the new roll;
3. Lightfoot Halfling: the Naturally Stealthy ability ensures your hero's proficiency in concealment, giving you an advantage during Stealth Checks, and +1 to Charisma.

Human

Humans are probably the most versatile race available in Baldurs Gate 3 so Ranger also works. Human receives a +1 bonus to every attribute available in the game.
