"Got demons and undead? I'll take care of them for you.
You're kind of an anomaly. You're dead, but there isn't a place for you yet in the Underworld. But instead of waiting thousands of years for your rightful place in hell, you've been given a second chance, in exchange for one thing: devoting all your time to dispelling, killing, and otherwise destroying any and all rogue undead you happen to be on the same plane as. Hey, life's tough.
Making a Spirit Detective
Spirit Detectives tend to naturally be lone wolves, but being in a team never hurts. Especially when facing that one really tough demon.
Ability Scores: For a Spirit Detective, your most important score is Strength. It's used for main class feature, used for all the time you'll be spending in close combat, and used for a few other class features. After Strength comes Charisma. Charisma is used mainly for your skills, and a couple other class features. And let's face it, having a good Constitution never hurt anyone either.
Races: Any race can become a Spirit Detective. Humans, however, are the most common race, due to their abundance, and spontaneous behavior getting them into unexpected trouble.
Alignment: Due to the pact they made with their god, all Spirit Detectives are Lawful.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies
Spirit Detectives are proficient with all simple weapons and light armor. They do, however, prefer to use their spirit attacks.
Spirit Gun (Su): The main weapon for any Spirit Detective. Attacking with the Spirit Gun is a Standard Action, and is a Ranged Touch attack (ranged 50 feet + 10 feet/2 Spirit Detective Levels). For the attack you use you Strength Modifier. Damage for the Spirit Gun is 1d8/ Spirit Detective Level (Max 20) + Strength Modifier. On a critical hit, add your Charisma modifier + 1d4/Spirit Detective Level(Max 10) to the damage roll.
At 2nd Level, and every three levels thereafter, you may use the Spirit Gun one additional time per day, to a maximum of 8 times per day at 20th level.
Detect Undead (Sp): At will, a Spirit Detective may be able to cast Detect Undead. It functions like the spell Detect Evil, except targeting Undead.
Undead Aura (Su): Because you are technically dead, you can be quite similar to Undead. If you are within the range of someone else's Detect Undead, you will be sensed, even if there are no other undead around. You gain a +2 bonus to any save that you are allowed when being targeted by a negative energy spell, or spell-like ability. When being targeted by a positive energy spell or spell-like ability that would normally heal, make the appropriate save. If you pass, the spell works normally. If you fail, you are healed half the amount. If the spell or spell-like ability is not meant to heal, you take a -2 penalty to the save required. You gain a +2 bonus to Bluff checks and Disguise checks to make people believe that you are undead. You can also, once per day, channel one Spirit attack you make with negative energy.
Aura Combat (Su): As a Full-Round Action, make one Melee Attack against an adjacent target with your full BAB. If the attack hits, the target is pushed back one square, takes 1d4 damage, and takes 1d4 extra damage from all your Spirit Attacks until it makes a successful Will Save (DC = 10 + 1/2 Spirit Detective level + Charisma Modifier)
Aura Senses (Su): You gain a +1 bonus to all initiative checks, Spot and Listen checks, and the range of your Detect Undead increases by 10 feet.
Undead Endurance (Su): The DC for Running does not increase after a number of rounds equal to your Constitution score for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution Modifier.
Aura Sword (Su): You can now craft your Aura into a pseudo-sword. In order to do so, you must already be wielding a one-handed sword. The damage die for the sword decreases by one, but the weapon ignores damage reductions up to your Charisma modifier. It's reach also increases by five feet.
Shotgun (Su): Continual Aura training has made your Spirit Gun more powerful. As a Full-Round action, you can forgo two uses of your Spirit Gun to make a melee touch attack against all adjacent targets using your highest base attack bonus. The damage is 1d8/(Spirit Detective Level - 6) (Max 10). You can also push each target back a number of squares equal to 1/2 your Charisma modifier.
Fast Movement (Ex): Training with your aura has made you faster than normal. You can move an extra 10 feet while not wearing medium or heavier armor, and when not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the Spirit Detective's speed because of any load carried.
Aura Compression (Su): You are no longer detectible by Detect Undead. You also do 1 point of extra damage with your Spirit attacks.
Empowered Spirit Gun (Su): At the cost of three of your daily uses of Spirit Gun, you can make one Spirit Gun attack at 1d10/Spirit Detective Level (Max 20) + Strength Modifier + Charisma Modifier damage.
Spirit Sword (Su): Your aura can now completely manifest itself into a sword. Though you can only make a certain number of attacks per day with this weapon, you may manifest it whenever you choose, and then attack with it whenever you choose. When manifesting the Spirit Sword, you can choose to make it look like any one-handed simple or martial slashing weapon. When attacking with it, act as if you were wielding the actual weapon, and had proficiency with it. By decreasing you weapon die by one size, you may also increase your reach with the Spirit Sword by five feat. You may do the same to increase the Spirit Sword's critical range by one. When attacking and doing damage with the Spirit Sword, use your Charisma modifier in place of your Strength modifier. If you take a feat that would alter your ability with the real version of the weapon you are manifesting (like Weapon Focus), it does not effect the Spirit Sword.
Aura Burst (Su): Once per day, as a Full-Round Action, all Undead, Aberrant, and Outsider type monsters within a 50 feet + 5 feet/Spirit Detective level radius of you must make a will save against a DC = 10 + 1/2 Spirit Detective level + Charisma modifier. Any creature who fails the save takes 1d6/2 Spirit Detective Level + 1/4 Spirit Detective level damage, and must make another save. Any creature who fails the second save takes 1d4/2 Spirit Detective level + Charisma modifier damage, and falls prone.
Spirit Rapid-Fire (Su): At the cost of at least 4 daily uses of your Spirit Gun, make a ranged touch attack against one target within 50 feet for 10d6 + 6d4 damage + 1d4/additional daily use of Spirit gun. On a critical hit, roll for damage like normal, and then double it.
Battle Aura (Su): Once per day, while you are wearing light or no armor, your aura manifests itself into an extra layer of protection, giving you a +3 bonus to AC. You also move 5 extra feet, and can add twice your Constitution modifier to all damage dealt while this is active. This armor lasts for 10 minutes/2 Spirit Detective levels after 10th level (Max 10).
Spirit Sniper (Su): At the cost of 4 of your daily uses of Spirit Gun, you can make a ranged touch attack at twice the normal range of your Spirit Gun. The damage die is decreases to d4, but is otherwise normal. Also, your critical range for this attack is increased by 1/(Spirit Detective Level-12).
Undying Aura (Su): At the cost of 6 of your daily uses of Spirit Gun, when you would normally fall unconscious from being in negative hit points, you are completely healed, but are unable to take any actions except for free and swift actions on your turn for a number of rounds equal to 10 - your Constitution modifier.
All-Mighty Spirit Gun (Su): At the cost of all of your daily uses of Spirit Gun, as a Full-Round Action, make a ranged touch attack at your full BAB against all creatures within a 500 foot radius of you for 1d12/Spirit Detective Level + Strength Modifier + Charisma Modifier + Constitution
Modifier + 1/5 Spirit Detective Levels damage. Any creature that was hit by the attack that is not dead or unconscious drops prone, and is dazed until it can pass a Will save (DC 10 +1/2 Spirit Detective levels + 1/2 Wisdom Modifier + Charisma Modifier). You are fatigued until you pass a Fortitude save (DC =10 + Spirit Detective Level)
This was my first actual attempt at 3.5 Homebrew. Let me know what you guys think. Also, if someone could tell me how to do that chart, it'd be great.
