(not that one can trust everyone out there, just let your consious be your guide. If you don't have one... the SHAME on you.) I am open to opinions and suggestions (if any). Words of encuragment if good to, so feel free to give praise if you feal this is good. There is more yet to come, so if this sounds like something you would like, then BOOKMARK this page because I will put up the history and guild rules of the slayers. So, without further adue... er.. here it is.

Slayer
The world is full of evil and vile creatures, monsters and abominations. Some roam in disguise or are other wise difficult to detect, while other are an obvious threat. And as long as there are such creatures around, there will the a slayer stalking them. Slayers are a secretive society of monster hunters that have sword to track and destroy evil in all its forms. A slayer can likely the most tensions hunter around and many who have had encounters with them will swear it is so.
Adventures: A slayer may wander far and wide or commit to being a silent and unseen defender of a particular area. Many wander about often or at regular intervals in order to find monsters to hunt and slay, this offers experience and a chance to improve their skill and combat prowess.
Characteristics: A slayer can use a variety of weapons and can hold his own along side the best of them. His skills focus around enhancing his combat skill and effectiveness against the evil foe hi finds himself facing. He is also capable of the art of non-detection, as their primary strategy is to be inconspicuous and observe potential opponents from the shadows. A slayer receive special training against certain foes which enables him to be mort effective against them than he would normally be.
Alignment: Slayers are usually good, as they have devoted themselves to the cause of destroying evil, But neutral slayers can exist though rare. Neutral slayers hunt down evil with the same zeal and good slayers but more out of an internal need to 'keep the balance'. Neutral slayers also tend to focused their attention and efforts to hunting down particularly aggressive evil. The usual philosophy of neutral slayers is that there is far more evil in the world than good, so they must destroy as much as they can to maintain the balance of good and evil. Slayers are never lawful, because their training teaches them to deceive and hide the truth as part of their strategy. Slayers can be neutral good or true neutral, but most end up chaotic in the end. Evil slayers are never accepted into the guild unless the recruiter somehow fails to detect their true alignment. Evil slayers would seek slayer training for many reasons, but one example is to use the secrets against the guild usually for an evil creature such as a vampire of fiend of some sort.
Religion: It is not a requirement to revere any one deity to be in the slayer guild, but many do so of their own accord.The variety is quite wide and some bear faith in more than one, the philosophy being that more is better. The usual choices are Heironeous, Kord, and Pelor. But some spare some attention to Fharlanghn as they tend to travel often and desire fair passage on the long roads they treed. Slayers who cross-class from druids and rangers often follow Ehlonna or even Obad-Hai, for the guardians despise atrocities to nature such as undead fiends, or other unnatural monsters. Elves, dwarfs, gnomes, and Halfling remain faithful to their respective gods
Background: A slayers skill are the result of long and intense training held in secret guild houses, learning that in not faithful to anything else they are at lease faithful to the guild, their felloe slayers, and the slayer cause. This tends to
turns out slayers that are grim and reclusive, as there are also taught that the guild must retain it’s secrets as to keep their enemies unaware for the most part. Slayers are rarely ambitious, unless their are aspiring to become true destroyers of evil. The cause of defending the innocent masses from evil forces and their training leaves little room for ambition.
Races: Almost any race can be found among the ranks of the slayers. Humans are the most common, as it was humans that founded the original guild. Elves make good slayers because of their higher dexterity and resistance to enchantment magic, which protects them from many mind effecting spells of the foes they face. Elves also tend to excel in the art of stealth which is important for a slayer to master. A further bonus is their low-light vision, as many encounters with evil creatures occur at night. Halflings can make surprisingly effective slayers and they are even more adept to the art of stealth than elves. Plus few expect a Halfling to be any real threat, including the enemy. Gnomes, although rare, can make decent slayers as well and tend to be obscure hunters, even more so than Halflings. Half-orcs and dwarves make for powerful combatants and likewise make for powerful slayers. Though they stick out a bit more than other races. Half-elves can be found as good slayers for the some of the same reasons as full elves.
Classes: Slayers tend to get along well with almost any other class, as long as they are in tune with the slayer cause, or at least just as prejudice toward evil as themselves. Fighters are welcome when some real force is needed for a
particular foe of mission. There are many sorcerers and wizards, some times cross-clased as slayers, that are apart of the guild. Due to the nature of their chosen enemies they find they often need magical equipment to accomplish their goals, particularly magic weapons and armor. Clerics are almost a must have, bless weapons (such as blessed stakes for
vampires and holy water for various others) come in quite handy. Having a cleric with them is useful in turning the many undead that they face. Barbarian tent to be to boisterous to be of any use, often drawing attention to the slayer. But a clever slayer knows that such an individual and offer a great advantage in a fight, and can also be use to draw attention
away from the slayer if the proper plan in put into motion. Bards are often considered of little use to a slayer, but they can have their part to play in a slayers mission. A bard can act as a public 'face' that helps in gathering information and investigating rumors of evil beings. This can help the slayer remain completely anonymous and discreet, while the bard
draws all the attention and does all the talking the slayer can focus more on observation. Rouges can be welcome as well because they master stealth and often the art of subterfuge and infiltration. In many ways a charismatic rouge can play the same part as a bard but be far more useful when it comes time for action. However the lawful nature of paladins and monks make them unappealing to slayers, and likewise for the slayers for the paladins and monks themselves. Paladins, however, can be tolerated as strong allies that despises evil with just as dedication as a slayer. But usually such arrangements are temporary because neither can hardly tolerate each other. Slayers for the most part work with other slayer if they work with anyone at all. Slayers tend to me solitary when out hunting for evil, but will not hesitate to gather allies and reinforcements when a particularly powerful foe is discovered.
Role: A slayers best role is as and opportunistic or ranged combatant, they are proficient on medium light and medium armor but then toward light for purpose of stealth. For this reason they should focused of tuning their skill toward avoiding and distant combat. But can hold their own in melee as well for they often fight alone, so they learn to do so.
