Hi all,
I was wondering what class you would pick and how to build it when you would create a character that tracks and kills monsters / demons / vampires / ghosts... (I just watched an episode of Supernatural :-))
What are specific skills/spells/feats that make the character a great hunter? What items does he carry? What weapon does he use? Will he use (supernatural) traps? Preform exorcisms? And how will this work within the pathfinder rules?
I'm curious about what your take on this type of character would be and maybe who you used as inspiration?
Sounds like an inquisitor to me. Bane and judgements give you the right tools no matter what kind of monster you are dealing with. Being able to detect alignments will help identifying outsiders and undead. Having all the relevant knowledge skills and a bonus to them also helps. You have all the investigative skills on your class skill list, and get bonuses with several.
Inquisitors are the best class at discovering things that others don’t want them to find out. As long as you choose the right deity your selection of weapons is nearly as good as a martial class. You can adjust your abilities to target whatever you are dealing with. A paladin will be better at combat vs undead and evil outsiders, but not that good vs any other kind of monster. The paladin also lacks most of the needed skills. A ranger will be good against his favored enemy and has some of the skills, but is lacking many of the needed skills.
