How often do you......

    [​IMG] How Often do you turn into the Slayer? I suppose a evil character probly does it more often, since you lose 2 rep points each time you use it, but how about it everyone?

    I haven't found too many instances where the slayer was more effective than my chosen class. I mainly use the slayer change as a way to manage reputation score.

    I never found it that useful. It would be useful if I were evil, but I've never had a situation where I really had to use it. And besides, much like all my other special abilites/item abilities, I usually forget I have them in fights anyway.

    Its useful if you have a neutral character but ur NPCs include Good and Evil characters... like I had Minsc and Edwin... to balance my rep.. whenever it got to 12 or 13.. I used the Slayer.... an edge in combat while keeping Edwin happy...

    the times I used it? its during one of those appearances where they place your PC right infront of the enemy and if yours is a mage.. he'd go down real fast unless u prepare before hand or have contingency spells... for me.. i just found it a convenient way to balance my rep while doing some roleplaying...

    place me in front will you heh? well watch me clear your eyes out!

    Yeah, ive used then, and in the illithid lair. I think its kinda useful cause it has a high rate of attack and its kinda strong

  17. shadow_thief Guest

    I never use cause it kills me and I donno how to stop it. And I don't need to open doors cause my fighters are just as powerful as the slayer(besides opening the mind flayer door). Oh yeah, can anyone tell how to stop the slayer form from killing you??

    I like to use it as roleplaying whenever you are personally challenged by an NPC. Let them know what they are really dealing with. To keep the slayer from killing you you must change back to human form before your hit points get too low.
