My charcter is a Ranger with Two-Weapon fighting. What Prestige classes would you most recomend?

Well, if you want to powergame, you could always take 1 level sorcerer or another spellcaster and then go Red dragon disciple.

Else you could also take 1 level spellcaster and then arcane archer. This is a really cool class, but perhaps less confiniened for you (with the bow and all)

Also cool is the shadowdancer. Especially the hide in plain sight is nice. This is useful for rangers since they have hide.

that depends if you want to go mostly ranger or not. going all the way ranger you get your level 21 combat style and all the favored enemies. Not sure if you are playing MoTB however..SD is good for HIPs indoors. Neverwinter Nine for the OC is good since it gives High BAB and sneak damage which is nice for a dualwielder. Divine Champion gives saves and feats. If you are an archer maybe bard arcane archer. Or a spear wielding/ archer who is a stormlord.

Just brainstorming what about a spearwielding 2 handed fighter who is also a pretty good archer. He will take 21 levels of ranger 5 levels of Frenzied berserker and 4 levels of stormlord. You can even hose dex and still get all the archery feats and take zen archery for your ranged combat ;) If you fit the rage feats in might as well drop 5 electrical resistance for barbarian 2 (rage feats work on frenzy as well as barb rage) and you'll get 10% movement and uncanny dodge. Or if you want to be stealthy indoors pick shadowdancer.

Another split would be Ranger 13 for weapon feats + camouflage then Zerker 5 for spear slaughter + Stormlord 10 for casting levels and maxing weapon bonus + 2 shadowdancer or barbarian.

Another idea if you can swing the feats is Ranger 11 Stormlord 10 Weapon Master 7 (spear) Fighter 2 (to help you with feats).

PS - make sure you have enough ranger and wisdom to cast 3rd level spells when you pick stormlord
