[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5332821, member: 996"] The Slayer, like the Barbarian, is a Striker with Defender hps. Unlike the Barbarian, the Slayer has no AC troubles: he's DEX-secondary, so can have a good AC with light armor, and he gets scale proficiency. Yeah, that's a bit much in the basic abilities department, but he also gets no daily attack powers, and no choice of encounter attack powers (instead he gets Power Strike, which is on par with encounter attack powers, but you just get the one - multiple uses of it as you level). If the Slayer is a little ahead of the power curve, it's probably only by a little - an example of power inflation more than anything else. Also, while the Slayer has strong fundamentals there shouldn't be a whole lot of powergaming to do with it (aside from pimping out it's basic attacks, anyway). Anyway, it ends up playing very much like a 1e Fighter, which, since it appears in the Red Box, is kinda the point. [/QUOTE]
