Removed list of what does and doesn't work in Slayer Form. Created link to separate page for it.
(Formatting. Corrected incorrect info about Extra Attacks- Slayer uses its own unique extra attacks rather than gaining ones from the user's classes.)

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.

== Notes ==
{{notebegin}}
* The Slayer form will gain {{SAI|Slayer's Extra Attack}} at level 5, and {{SAI|Slayer's Improved Extra Attack}} at level 10. This will not stack with the normal {{SAI|Extra Attack}} of most martial classes or the [[Druid]] class's {{SAI|Wild Strike}}.
* {{SAI|Piercing Growl}} is unlocked by reading the book {{MdRarityItem|Regarding the Slayer}} as [[The Dark Urge]]. This book can be acquired by saving [[Volo]] outside the [[Steel Watch Foundry]] and meeting him back in your camp.
* Similar to {{SAI|Wild Shape}}, the player cannot speak while in Slayer form, but unlike Wild Shape they will not be able to temporarily shapeshift into their normal form to talk to [[companion]]s. They are also unable to take certain actions that require the ability to speak, such as activating the {{MdRarityItem|Filigreed Feywild Bell}}. This can also cause certain cutscenes to 'break'. (E.g. the cutscene that plays upon witnessing the army on the Road to Baldur's Gate before defeating [[Ketheric Thorm]] will be skipped, resulting in the entire party being thrown in prison without the dialogue option to retreat).
* Unlike the Druid's {{SAI|Wild Shape}}, Slayer form does change the character's mental stats (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma), which become 10, 10, and 8 respectively.
* The Difficulty Class (DC) of the Slayer's {{SAI|Relentless Lunge}}, {{SAI|Sumptuous Blood Bath}}, and {{SAI|Let the Slaughter Begin}} is based on its 8 Charisma. This makes it incredibly hard to successfully use their effects.
* The Slayer's attacks are not considered 'magical' for the purpose of ignoring [[Resistance|resistances]]. This means a player-controlled Slayer will deal half damage to enemies with non-magical resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, such as [[Shadow]]s).
* Like [[Druid]]'s {{SAI|Wild Shape}}, most equipment, many feats, and some class passives will not work while transformed into the Slayer. See [[List of features that work in Slayer Form]] for a comprehensive list.

{{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, the Slayer form will gain [[Slayer's Extra Attack]] or [[Slayer's Improved Extra Attack]] at certain levels.
* Slayer Form inherits [[War Domain]]'s [[War Priest]] feature.
* Slayer Form can benefit from the racial passives of [[Races|the player's race]] (e.g. Dwarves' [[Dwarven Resilience]]).
* 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]].
