I'm still waiting to see an Undead Slayer Ranger archetype.

It's in the core book. One of the first archtypes, really. It's calle Ranger.

I think what he meant was a sort of Rangerish undead hunter with DIVINE-based POWERS (sort of a cross between a Ranger and the Hunter of the Dead prestige class of 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons).

Personally the Vampire Hunter archetype of the Inquisitor was a HUGE LETDOWN. Barely any cool divine-based abilities to put the hurt on undead. While the ability to do +1d6 points of damage to beings harmed by sunlight sounds nice and all that jazz, that alone doesn't make the archetype worthwhile.

So, yeah, we need some more divine OOMPH here Paizo. Abilities like Positive Energy Burst, Death Dodger, Undead Lore, Detect Undead (at will), and even an ability to make our intrepid undead hunter immune to an Undead's create spawn ability! Also, we'd love an ability to put down (for good) undead with that pesky rejuvenation ability!

There's a pretty damn good reason why intelligent undead should fear people who devote their lives to hunt them but by god so far you fine folks at Paizo haven't let us see it yet. Maybe this is where that will all change. I hope so.

Think the Undead Stalker from the 3.5DMG if your playing a home game it is very easy conversion also


I will say this although "mindless undead" don't have an int for discerning they do have a wisdom for common sense. higher lvl problem solving cant be done but basic common sense stuff is viable. "if something attacks caster or its allies it is an enemy" things like that can be implied and understood. mindless undead still have instincts and ability to carry them out just have the lack of willpower to stop. but until something becomes an enemy it wont perceive and would be considered an animal companion with guard.


i grabbed one of you books w/ a article on the missile mage( a wizard that focusses mostly on magic missiles)pwver i didnt have the money on me at the time. so i went back the next day and the bookstore had sent it back becuase it had gotten the new stock in. i cant seem to find the magazine that has it. i even ordered one that has the force missile mage from Dec 04 but thats not it. any help anyone can offer so i can find exactly which issue it was would be a great help.


i play EQ, EQ2, and D&D thats about it
