{{Q|My Chosen. My Slayer. Violence incarnate. You will become a testament in blood.|[[Bhaal]] awarding a dedicated Bhaalspawn for their unwavering favor.}}

==Violence Incarnate==
{{SpoilerWarning}}
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.

{{SpoilerBox|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 Dark Urge]] refuse any of these actions, they will receive another chance to obtain this form should they defeat [[Orin the Red]] 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 the Red]] will lose access to the Slayer, and will fight in her standard humanoid form.}}

* [[Orin the Red]] (dependant)
* [[The Dark Urge]] (optional)}}

==Notes==

*The Slayer Form is a returning ability present in Baldur's Gate 2. It first appeared in {{FRWiki|Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn}} as an ability granted midway through the game.
*The Slayer is only one of three avatars of Bhaal; A shapeshifting one called {{FRWiki|Kazgoroth}}, a human-sized one named the Slayer, and a giant named the Ravager. While only the Slayer appears within [[Baldur's Gate 3]], the Ravager appears in {{FRWiki|Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal}} as the protagonist's "taint" due to being a Bhaalspawn, while Kazgoroth is a seperate creature, described as either a minion or Avatar of Bhaal in some circumstances.
*Despite functioning like [[Wild Shape]], Slayer form does not inherit the extra attacks from the [[Druid]] class's [[Wild Strike]] or [[Improved Wild Strike]]. Instead, Slayer form will inherit the character's [[Extra Attack]] or [[Improved Extra Attack]] (as available).
**Slayer Form also inherits [[War Domain]]'s [[War Priest]] feature.
