[QUOTE="Belbarid, post: 2475903, member: 28213"] Yeah- kinda the problem... :S Mostly I was wondering because there seems to be a feat or something that acts as an exception to just about every rule in 3.5. The idea I had in mind (and maybe I should have said this earlier) is a high-level Ninja/Soulknife who is an undead hunter. Now, before lots of people point out that just about every special feat, PrC, class feature, or spell that helps kill undead assumes that you're a Divine character of some sort, I already know that. I wanted to make something a little more unusual than that as the Divine Undead Hunter has been done to death. No pun intended. Ninja gives awesome stealth abilities, as well as the ability to hit incorporeal undead. SoulKnife insures that I have a weapon at hand when I need it, and between the SK's ability to charge the weapon, and the Psionic Weapon/Greater Psionic Weapon feats, I can pile on up to 4d8 damage that *will* affect undead. Add to that the benefits of a Vow of Poverty, and I think you have a fairly effective Undead Hunter. For feats, I'm also taking Combat Expertise, Combat Intuition, Quick Reconnoiter, and Deft Strike, although if anyone has any suggestions for Feats, I'm open to those. Something alsong the lines of "Lots of extra damage against Evil/Undead". I remember seeing one in The Book of Exaulted Deeds, but that has a Charisma Prereq that I don't meet, and I don't feel like drasticly changing my attributes for an extra +1 damage. I like the character idea, and I like the way the two classes mesh, and I'm curious to see how this works against Undead. I was just wondering if there was a convienient way to use the 5d6 Sudden Strike damage against Undead. [/QUOTE]
