This class is interesting as everything hinges on your mask that you wear. Many of your abilities call your mask to be dismissed which basically shuts off everything you can do, turning you into a rogue without any abilities. A fate that few adventurers would want. So you have to pick the proper moment to use your abilities. This class doesn't seem too powerful at lower levels but come the late game this character becomes a boss slayer being able to eliminate big monsters from just a single glance, at the cost of doing anything else. DMs be very aware to what this class can do especially when it comes to that point in the game.

Role: DPS

Characteristics: Mask wearing ghost slaying casters with masks with powerful abilities.

Spiritual Armor Su: When wearing her mask, a 5th level Weeper gains half her level rounded down as a deflection bonus to her AC.

Ghostly Phantasm Sp: A 5th level Weeper wearing her mask can create a phantom image of herself which mimics all actions she takes, up to a distance of 5ft per weeper level, as a spell like ability 3 times per day for every 5 levels as a weeper.

Devouring Miasma Su: Starting at 6th level any undead in the Weeper's cloud take one point of positive energy damage per point of Charisma mod.

Cleanse Spirits Su: At 7th level, any undead creature killed by a Weeper's spells, spell-like or supernatural abilities cannot raise again as undead. Additionally a Weeper can as a standard action make sure a dead mortal victim does not raise as a undead spawn.

Ghostly Breath Su: As a standard action, a masked 8th level Weeper can send a powerful wave of necromantic energy, dealing 2d6 negative damage per four Weeper levels to every creature in a 30 ft. cone. After using this ability however, the Weeper's mask vanishes from her face.

Safe Return Su: A 9th level Weeper can choose to no longer lose a level when raised from the dead, however they lose a permanent 1 points from Charisma or 2 from another ability score instead.

Spiritual Sight Su: A 10th level Weeper wearing her mask is under the effect of see invisibility spell.

Send the Unsent Su: An 11th level Weeper wearing her mask, may as a standard action force a soul into afterlife. With a successful ranged touch attack close 25 ft + 5 ft/lv she may force any undead to make a will save (DC 20 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier) or be destroyed. The mask is instantly dismissed in order to use this ability.

Abyssal Gaze Su: At 14th level a masked Weeper may as a standard action, make a gaze attack against a creature within 60 ft. of her. The creature is entitled a will save (DC 20 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier), if they fail the save they die. This ability instantly forces her mask to disappear.

Timeless Body Su: After attaining 15th level, a Weeper no longer takes ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any penalties she may have already incurred, however, remain in place.

Bonuses still accrue, and the Weeper still dies of old age when her time is up.

Reaping Gaze Su: At 17th level, any creature killed by the Weeper's abyssal gaze is permanently killed as his or her soul is banished from the world of the living. Only a wish or a miracle followed by a true resurrection spell can bring the creature back.

Spirit Form Su: An 18th level Weeper, wearing her mask may as an immediate action fuse with her "guardian angel", becoming incorporeal. This ability lasts as long as the weeper is wearing her mask. A weeper can dismiss this ability as a free action.

Mourning Reaper Su: A 20th level Weeper no longer needs to manifest her mask to use her Weeper abilities, however she does not gain her mask traits when unmasked. The only exception to this ability is ghostly breath, this ability still requires the Weeper to have her mask on to used and it will still be dismissed afterwards.
