Unofficial rules compendium

The ghost hunter specializes in finding and destroying ghosts and other incorporeal undead. As they progress, they learn to apply their ghost hunting abilities to other supernatural creatures and finally to all creatures. They are practitioners of the Way of Force.

Class Abilities

A ghost hunter has all class abilities of the normal rogue , except as follows.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Ghost hunters are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the battle aspergillum, flask thrower, sap, and whip. They ignore the penalty for using a torch as an improvised weapon. They are not proficient with armor or shields. If eastern weapons are in use, the ghost hunter is also proficient with the sai.

Mage Armor (Sp)

A ghost hunter with an Intelligence score of 11 or more can use mage armor as a spell-like ability twice per day, with a caster level equal to his rogue level and personal range. At 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, the ghost hunter can use this ability one additional time per day. At 4th level the armor bonus of mage armor and bracers of armor stack when worn by a ghost hunter. These bonuses do not otherwise stack with armor, either normal or force.

This replaces Trapfinding.

Disrupt Undead (Su)

At level 2, a ghost hunter with an Intelligence of 10 or more can use disrupt undead at will with a caster level equal to his rogue level. He can use it either as a ranged or melee touch attack. This ability inflicts full damage when used against an incorporeal target and a ghost hunter can sneak attack an incorporeal creature with this ability as if using a ghost touch weapon. This replaces Trap Sense.

At 6th level, a ghost hunter can use disrupt undead in lieu of an attack. He can thus make full attack actions using disrupt undead.

At level 9, disrupt undead gains the ability to damage outsiders.

At level 12, disrupt undead gains medium range (100 ft. + 10 ft./level).

At level 15, disrupt undead gains the ability to damage creatures of the Aberration, Dragon, Fey, Magical Beast, and Monstrous Humanoid types.

At level 18, disrupt undead can damage any type of creature.

Rogue Talents

  • The ghost hunter can pick the trapfinding rogue ability as if it was a rogue talent.

The following rogue talents complement the ghost hunter archetype: black market connections, iron guts, major magic, minor magic.

Advanced Talents: The following advanced rogue talents complement the ghost hunter archetype: hard to fool, hunter's surprise, slippery mind, thoughtful reexamining.
