Violence Incarnate
Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
The Slayer form is a powerful ability granted by 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.
Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
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 Fell 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.Known Users of the Slayer Form

- Gorion's Ward (Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Optional)
- Orin the Red (dependant)
- The Dark Urge (optional)
Notes
- The Slayer Form is a returning ability present in every Baldur's Gate game. It first appeared in Baldur's Gate as an ability granted by those who pursued it.
- The Slayer is only one of three avatars of Bhaal; A shapeshifting one called 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 Baldur's Gate 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.
