Hi!

IM playing pathfinder with friend and I wish to create a setting where Vampire, werewolves, constructions, ghouls, ect. are really common. I wish to introduce a new class that is made to hunt and kill those kind of creature but with no or really little divine magic help.

In other words, a kind of VanHellsing... You know, part Rogue/ranger with bonuses to kill this kind of "horror" monster?

Any idea?

Obviously inquisitor is the best fit, but you said no divine magic...

So like this (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/cavalier/orders/paizo---cavalier-orders/order-of-the-shroud) cavalier order or this (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/hybrid-classes/slayer/archetypes/paizo---slayer-archetypes/grave-warden) slayer archetype(slayers are ranger/rogues anyways) or either of these ranger (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/ranger/archetypes/paizo---ranger-archetypes/corpse-hunter-ranger-archetype) archetypes (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/ranger/archetypes/paizo---ranger-archetypes/yokai-hunter) would do.

Some of the ranger archetypes also throw out divine magic for other abilities. Just taking favored enemy-undead a lot and some matching terrain(underground, swamp, etc) would do the trick.

You could just use the Path of War classes with the Silver Crane discipline. There's even a martial tradition for it. A Stalker with Silver Crane as one of his disciplines is basically a rogue with extra power against undead, only infinitely more useful and a whole lot more fun to play. Silver Crane is explicitly supernatural though, so it may not fit what you have in mind.

Generally specialization like that is the realm of archetypes and feats, not whole new classes. There are already a good bunch of anti-undead archetypes for most classes available, so i'd suggest taking a look there first.

The Grave Warden is exactly the feeling of classe I had in mind!

Thanks a lot!
