I might add that apart from Kel Garas I had no problems with SOU what-so-ever.
There's always a trick to winning against some of the bosses and Kelgaras is no different. The key is in the special weapon you get from solving his tomb puzzle. You need at least a +2 weapon to cut through his DR plus the fire enhancement will harm him A LOT. It doesn't matter what weapon you've focused in... use the quest weapon. If he casts Protection from Elements just keep pounding him with your fire weapon and eventually after he takes 40 points of fire damage he will begin to suffer. If you try doing it with alchemical fire, you will end up wasting too many rounds buffing your weapon and he will regen at the same time.
Also, though he has lots of nasty immunities like against sneaks & crits, his Discipline is horrible so can be KD'd pretty easily which is usually the tactic I find most effective vs. him. Ignore his minions as they pose no significant danger except to hamper your attack. Keep in mind that he can only heal himself with negative energy though he has some regen. Unless you are using Tony K's AI which usually forces a pre-buff, in which case his True Seeing will spot you as soon as you enter the room so stealth & invisibility will mean nothing. Sanctuary will probably just force him to cast AoE spells. Dunno about that. Don't use TK's AI all that much myself.
If you engage in Lich-fighting (like Kelgaras), you always need some sort of reliable strategy to face them or you will become toast quickly.
Actually, the toughest battle (for me, anyway) was the one against one of the Wind creatures in the final chapter. But once again, it just requires some planning and a few lucky rolls and they can be defeated without using the console. Well, I
did attack the Formian queen in her lair once, just for giggles, but she and her minions were so tough that I never tried it again. Took w-a-a-a-a-y too long to dispatch them.

But generally speaking, a ranger is a decent SoU/HotU class except IMO a UMD class like rogue, assassin or bard would help it immensely so it can use scrolls & other magic items. A DEX build will probably be harder, though, at least until you gain enough FEs.
