I am starting a gestalt campaign with zombie invasion theme. As main enemy is undead, I want some PrC that is good against undead. However, not to overpower it, it needs to be about the same power level of fighters etc. fighting undead so that it's class abilities are just more undead -flavour.
Yet, even though it has undead flavour, it should be semi-playable even in other campaigns if possible, sooo... hard task.
My first PrC, be gentle.
Ghoulslayer
After the hell was broken lose in the form of undead, the church of St. Cuthbert was first to react. Within a matter of weeks, they had started a new organisation specializing in fighting against this new threat. The Hunters have two kinds of specialists, one that concentrates on magic and other with more strenght in chopping the undead to pieces. The latter, Ghoulslayers, are represented here.
