02-28-08, 07:12 PM I have a melee character, Samurai. We are playing in campaign were the majority of the enemies is undead. Obviously, I want to have feats that will allow me to do more damage to undead. I can create a backstory for the reasoning of feats later.

02-28-08, 07:20 PM Samurai is essentially Fighter with the bonus feats preselected. Ask your DM about the Necropotent feat (normally Fighter-only) from Libris Mortis. It's not a great feat, but it does increase damage vs undead.

02-28-08, 11:52 PM Necropotent (LM) grants +4 damage to undead with a weapon that you have Weapon Specialization with.

Basically you make a knowledge check based on the creature type, in the case of undead it would be knowledge religion, to gain bonuses to attack and damage. The higher the check result, the bigger the bonus. I'm pretty sure it caps out at +5, but I'm away from my books.

Normally it requires a fairly hefty commitment to knowledge skills to be worth it, but if you are only after undead you can concentrate on knowledge religion.
