And that was a very optimized power gamer party.
We had 4 actual character deaths, and another 3-4 uses of breath of life.
You need divine like a fat kid needs cake. During the course of the campaign, not having even any arcane became a problem a few times, resorting to having to use spellcasting services and eventually having a mid level wizard cohort for books 5-6 (when the sentinel hit his 9th level in the PrC). Both melee had very capable thrown weapon ability. The final party that completed my game consisted of a 2H Fighter, a TWF Ranger / Sentinel, an offensive caster Oracle, and a ranged Investigator. If you're the GM, I strongly suggest you forgo the whole 'Pick a race' theme for humanoids in Favored Enemy and Bane and just let 'Humanoids' be a category like 'Monstrous Humanoids'. Other humanoids are giants and various monstrous humanoids (thraie, girtablilu, etc). Undead covers pretty much the entire spectrum from mindless zombies to bloody skeletons to banshees to shadows to vampires to the eponymous Mummy Lord Hakotep I.
