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.

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 separate creature, described as either a minion or Avatar of Bhaal in some circumstances. | 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.

{{notebegin}} | |||
* 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 inherits [[War Domain]]'s [[War Priest]] feature. | |||
* Slayer Form will not benefit from the additional benefits (Temporary Hit Points, damage reduction, and bonus to Armor Class) granted by the [[Armour of Moonbasking]]. | |||
* [[Piercing Growl]] is unlocked by reading the book [[Regarding the Slayer]] as [[The Dark Urge]]. | |||
