I've been running a party of 5 HotFL characters through H1. So far, the Thief seems like an excellent striker and the Slayer seems... not so good. Part of the problem is probably that the Thief is fairly optimised (Halfling, 18 dex, light blade expertise, shortsword & daggers) with the move thing that lets you get CA against lone monsters. That seems to happen a lot, especially with the Mage shoving everything around using Beguiling Strands. (The Mage will retrain to get Phantasmal Assault instead of Hypnotism next level.) So 3-4 times per encounter the Thief is doing Sneak Attack damage. With +4 from dex, +2 from class feature, +1 from light blade expertise, 1d6 short sword and 2d6 from Sneak Attack, he's doing a lot of damage. The Slayer is human, 18/14 Str/Dex, with the charging stance and +2 damage stances, heavy blade expertise, weapon focus heavy blades. Hits well and nice damage when charging, but can't seem to roll above a 1 with the greatsword.
