Undead Hunter (Paladin Kit)

This holy avenger has honed their abilities toward the destruction of the undead and other unnatural creatures. They are immune to many of their enemies' more destructive abilities.

Advantages

  • +3 to-hit and +3 damage vs. undead.
  • Immune to hold.
  • Immune to level drain.

Disadvantages

  • May not use Lay on Hands ability.

When to pick it

  • BG2 features liches, vampires, shadows, and entire undead-themed dungeons — Undead Hunter immunities pay for themselves many times over.
  • Hold immunity is also useful well beyond the undead category (Mind Flayer effects, hostile clerics).
