The Slayer is extremely powerful - it's the avatar of a god, even. But it would just be *too* powerful if you could stay in Slayer form permenantly, or even for the duration of a large fight.

He is not that powerful if you are a mage.
Sarevok, Korgan or any decent fighter will beat the hell out of him.

Minor spoil ahead.

While playing with a wild mage, I was hastly killed by the challengers you face at the very first challenge in the pocket plane...

I think that LennonCook's point is that the Slayer is supposed to be the most powerful character, even if the game isn't quite balanced that way. Imagine going through the rest of SoA turned into the Slayer (especially with five powerful NPCs at your side). Where would be the challenge in that?

The power of the Slayer is NOT his fighting prowess, how good that may be, but his various immunities. He is immune to imprisonment, maze, charm, confusion and more...

sorry u can take off that other post it was actually in response to this TOPIC or place that TOPIC here and take off this one....It was an accident I clicked POST NEW TOPIC instead of POST A REPLY.

Hey Wisefool. Could you perhaps pay a little bit more attention to writing in just basic english, instead of MSN-liked abbrevations and such? It makes reading your posts a lot easier.

Is it really immune to imprisonment? That's a new one to me. I'm aware that it gets a decent amount of resistance in just about everything, but that's a new one. What are the other things it's immune to?

Come again? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Are you saying your Abazigal thread was meant to be in here?

ADD] Oh, I see. I have closed the other thread. You may refer to it via this link.

On a side note, unless there is some sort of life or death emergency going on, you might want to seriously consider avoiding shortcuts. It can really make your posts much more readable. Making 'be' into 'b' is not abbreviating, it's just plain madness.
