Common Mistake

Forgetting rite damage ignores resistance even against non-undead

Common Mistake

Not using the radiant rite against undead - it's especially effective

Common Mistake

Overlooking that Ethereal Step lets you phase through walls briefly

DM Tip

Ghostslayers excel in undead-heavy campaigns - give them those opportunities

DM Tip

Resistance-ignoring damage is powerful against many creatures

DM Tip

At higher levels, Brand of Sundering makes them devastating against single targets
