[QUOTE="Belzbet, post: 5608223, member: 6678902"] If you can use strong monsters via monster classes they are many good undead in Fiend Folio such as the Blood Fiend. You would not be able to take the standard classes, but if you are planning on being a fighter type you might be able to swing it (although undead do not have full BA; maybe you could talk to your DM and say that the bloodfiend, due to its outsider [demon] blood, has full BA, like any other outsider). Also, it gets DR, SR, resistances, and undead immunities, Fast healing, turn resistance, and more, I would give it a +4-+6 LA, although it may be possible to talk your Dm into giving you some Racial HD instead of some of the LA. If this is a traditional campaign (where you guys are playing good undead) then look ar some deathless (good version of undead) from "the Book of Exalted Deed" Also, from "Fiend Folio" there is the undead crypt thing. It is not that good but it is weak enough to deserve no LA (to +1LA). It has 6HD but you can expand that into 6 monster classes, no fast healing though. Also, in terms of classes, look at the book of vile darkness prestige class Thrall of Demogorgon 2/day dual action.You would have to take some horrible vile feats though (Thrall of Orcus, while more appropriate, is not that good).I would definitely suggest paladin or blackguard, Dark Blessing or Divine Grace are one of my favorite abilities, also many undead have racial bonuses to Cha (although i don't see a reason to switch to blackguard later, if you are already an evil paladin unless you want sneak attack or aura of despair).
