[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5902438, member: 35909"] Cleric is probably the best bet, just because it's so powerful. Check out Church Inquisitor prestige class in C.Divine for help with demon-fighting. Note that elf and half-elf rangers can use the substitution level from races of the wild to get undead favored enemy at a +3 instead of +2 (and extra +3 instead of +2 each time you raise it) and there is the dragon mag. alt. class feature called Solitary Hunter to trade animal companion for the ability to add FE bonus on attack as well as damage (and as written, you actually get this at Ranger 1, not ranger 4, which is kinda unbalanced). Also note that a scout/ranger w/ the Swift Hunter feat can use skirmish damage on his favored enemies (as well as stack both classes for FE and skirmish progression). So a Swift Hunter build could be possible for a different way to do this. For items, do you have Magic Item Compendium? It has tons. - Fiendslayer and True Death weapon augment crystals to boost damage against each creature type and overcome some of their protections. You can freely switch out what crystal is on a weapon as a move action to attach or remove. - Sacred (and Sacred Burst) enhancements for weapon. Look it up, you want this! - Divine Wrath weapon ehancement if doing a cleric. Burn turn undead uses to do a lot of bonus damage on a hit against undead instead. - Two whole item sets, "Vestments of Divinity" and "Wraith's Woe," both are helpful with various items such as gauntlets of ghost fighting to give every weapon you have Ghost Touch or Shirt of Wraith Stalking to hide from undead, and so forth. - The Enemy Spirit Pouch is an amulet slot item, but cheap enough to pay extra to add it to some other neck slot item. It's basically the same as FE +2 against the specified enemy type. [/QUOTE]
