What to Specialize Staunton Vhane in
For Warpriests, there are six total archetypes to choose from. These are Champion of Faith, Cult Leader, Feral Champion, Disenchanter, Shieldbearer, and Proclaimer. Each further specializes the Warpriest class by adding some bonus features and removing or penalizing some previous abilities.
As Staunton is naturally unable to be beefed up in any way as an undead, thebest choice of archetype for him within the Warpriest class is the Cult Leader. The Cult Leader archetype adds more stealth and sneak attack potential to allow Staunton to sneak across the field with his clerical abilities. This does take away some of the bonus combat feats that the base class receives.
