Undead Hunter

Undead Hunter is one of the four paladin class kits with a self-explanatory purpose. Against the undead creatures, they have +3 damage and -3 THAC0 bonusTHAC0 cannot be altered by more than one THAC0 vs. type bonus effect (ID 178) when attacking an applicable creature type. As a result, the passive -3 THAC0 bonus will be overridden by bonuses from items in this table.The passive +3 damage bonus is plagued with a similar drawback (effect #179), but in Enhanced Editions can only be overridden by Modron Heart, and only against chaotic-aligned opponents. The list is significantly larger in the original edition.. You can make them even more devastating against the undead by giving them weapons such as Daystar, Mace of Disruption, Harrower, Azuredge and Foebane.
Undead Hunters are immune to status effects of hold and Level drain. The only disadvantage is that they cannot use the Lay on Hands special ability, but that is a small price to pay for the extra abilities.
