From publisher blurb:
The slayer is an original level 1-20 class for the 5th Edition of the world's oldest roleplaying game that's fast, furious, and, above all else, fierce.
Where a fighter might be considered a highly disciplined individual who spends hours each day practicing and rehearsing for combat, and a barbarian a bestial or savage thug, slayers might best be considered the latter given all of the training and advantages of the former. That said, a slayer's unique abilities and talents set them apart from either. As well as the slayer class itself, this package includes a whopping eight sub-classes for the slayer, called Slayer Styles. Purchase the module to discover the incredible power of the ardent, errant, foehammer, hexblade, hurricane, punisher, scourge, and wraith for yourself.
What's Provided
By purchasing the slayer, you'll receive a PDF copy of the class that you can use digitally or print for referencing at the table. Additionally, you'll receive a premium content module for use on Foundry VTT*. The PDF and module both provide the class itself and a wealth of useful additional materials. Let's take a look at what's included:
