Line 30: Line 47:
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.

{{SpoilerDurge|It is possible for [[The Dark Urge]] to obtain the ability during [[Act 2]] by either killing [[Isobel]], their lover, or the companion with the highest approval toward them. Alternatively, they can obtain this form during [[Act 3]] by defeating Orin and accepting to become [[Bhaal|Bhaal's]] Chosen.<br /><br/>If they had already acquired the Slayer form before Act 3, The Dark Urge will be given the option to transform into it during their dialogue with Orin before their duel, in which case she will fight against them in her standard humanoid form. Conversely, access to the Slayer form will be permanently lost if The Dark Urge refuses to become Bhaal's Chosen after defeating Orin.}}
