Im gonna be DMing a campaign soon and i need a group of Witch Hunter style NPCs for an in game organization called The Sentinels of the All Seeing Eye, who hunt all magic users and any who help magic users. I was thinking of having at least one Witch Hunter, and an Occult Slayer as well as one Shadowbane Inquisitor, but the group needs to be a bit bigger than that and id like some ideas.

Rules: No ToB classes, No Clerics or Wizards, Rangers Pallys and Bards available Prestige style only

It will be set in this setting http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=281930

Consider the aptly named Witch Slayer from Tome of Magic. It is built fluffed around hunting vestiges, but the abilities work fairly well against most magic users.

the confusingly named witch slayer from OA is also on the table (and gives a divine grace-like ability for interested pallies)

church inquisitor is also a natural choice if you want to be a witch hunter themed character

The OA class is actually witch hunter.

Champion of Gwynharwyf (Obvious copy&paste :smalltongue: ) Book of exalted deeds.

Seriously it is like a gestalt paladin/barbarian. His spell list include death ward / freedom of movement/magic circle vs evil/resist energy. Frightful presence 30'. Immunity to compulsions and energy resistances.

Easy to enter as a barbarian and only one wasted feat.

A (heavily) buffed Witchborn Binder (Magic of Incarnum) fits the flavour wonderfully, but as for the power aspect... the class is one of the weakest in the book. The fluff, however, is pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

At the least, I'd say give it full meldshaping advancement and access to some of the higher tier Chakra Binds (via free Open Chakra feats, if necessary). Ranger 1/Incarnate 6 would probably be the most versatile entry, and with some adjustments to the Prestige Class, could well serve as the anti-party's skillmonkey.
