[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4936059, member: 1956"] Undead monsters tend to have fewer total hps than the other creatures of same CR, because they don't have Con. So, you must be careful not giving too much class levels of small hit dice (say, d4) classes. One of my favorite combination is incorporeal undead + Warlock levels. Incorporeal undead tend to have trouble handling material components and focuses. But invocations only have somatic. Flying incorporeal undead can unleash Eldritch Blasts and Invocations out of the range of Turning Undead. Also, being incorporeal negates one of the biggest weak-point of the warlock class (neutralized if grappled). Be careful if you are going to use Vampire (Spawn). Though their stats seem to be good as melee combatants and sample vampires in MM are melee types, they are in trouble if PCs strongly presented a Holy Symbol or a Mirror. Also, you must expect that PCs are using Magic Circle against Evil, maby almost always on, when playing an undead-heavy campaign. That will negate Domination ability. [/QUOTE]
