Undead in PFS and Kinslayer Advice


Pathfinder Society


How much do Undead enemies come up in PFS? I am making a Dhampir Kinslayer (don't worry I am trading for the boon) and I am worried that he will be too focused on undead to be useful. I mean, if undead show up every other adventure that wouldn't be too bad since that means I shine everyother module but I just want some advice from people who have played more than me.

And on a side note, any general advice for a Kinslayer in PFS?

In my time in PFS, I have ran into a few undead enemies they seem to be fairly common, however in looking at the Kinslayer archetype, I noticed one ability that I would strongly recommend getting, that ability is Holy Brand, which allows you to use your Kinslayer judgement on anything that has the evil subtype (i.e. Evil Outsiders, such as Demons and Devils) these creatures show up quite often in Season 5.

Aside from that little nugget, The archetype doesn't appear to take away much of the Inquisitor's core abilities so I imagine you should be fine, I mean the archetype doesn't even change the bane ability, you still have solo tactics, and the bonus teamwork feats.

undead used to be quite common, but I have noticed perhaps a little less so - perhaps the powers-that-be have noticed all the command undead negative channellers out there and realized they are not so good of an ememy - except in surprise situations.

There are excceptions of course

There are undead a-plenty. Particularly in seasons 0-2. Season 3 had some, but it starts to wane there. Haunts abound though!

I can think of maybe 6 scenarios with some deadsies in Season 4.

If you get Holy Brand, you'll do just fine. Kinslayer is great and doesn't sacrifice too much. When you fight anything that's not an Undead or Evil Outsider, you just break out the standard Inquisitor toolkit.
