The Slayer form is a powerful ability granted to the most dedicated follower of Bhaal. It usually appears as a form [[Orin the Red]] takes during her boss battle, and functions very similarly to [[Wild Shape]] or being [[Polymorphed]]. The user of the form takes on all the statistics of the Slayer, and all of their actions are replaced by the Slayer's own. With a powerful multiattack, a distance-closing leap, a devastating single attack, as well as an action that can inflict bleeding, the Slayer is an especially powerful form allowing the user to tear through their enemies with ease. | The Slayer form is a powerful ability granted to the most dedicated follower of Bhaal.

{{SpoilerDurge| | {{SpoilerDurge|While usually given to [[Orin the Red]], it is possible for [[The Dark Urge]] to obtain this ability, for a price. During [[Act 2]] they can choose to kill [[Isobel]], their lover, or their closest companion to obtain this powerful ability for themselves. | ||
Should the Urge refuse any of these actions, they will receive another chance to obtain this form should they defeat Orin in a duel. The avatar of [[Bhaal]], speaking through [[Sceleritas Fel]] will grant this form should it be accepted. | |||
It is worth noting that should The Dark Urge acquire the Slayer form before [[Act 3]], Orin will lose access to the Slayer, and will fight in her standard humanoid form.}} | |||
