Key Abilities Explained:

Studied Target

This works just like the standard Slayer ability. It's a great way to buff yourself up before a big fight or to get a little extra edge on tough enemies.

Sneak Attack

Starting at 4th level, you'll get an extra 1d6 damage when you hit an enemy who's flanked or when they can't use their Dexterity bonus to AC. This damage keeps growing, adding another 1d6 every three levels, capping out at a massive +6d6 by level 19. Definitely something to aim for!

Slayer Talents

You get to pick a Slayer Talent at levels 8, 16, 17, and 20. These are super important for customizing your Slayer and can really define your playstyle. Choose wisely!
