The Stygian Slayer is a martial class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous that excels at striking from the shadows and utilizing unique predatory abilities. This guide details its level progression and key features.

Stygian Slayer Proficiencies: A Stygian Slayer is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and can wear light armor.

Key Abilities:

  • Studied Target: At 1st level, the Stygian Slayer gains Studied Target, allowing them to study their foes. This ability is enhanced at 7th level to be usable as a Swift action.
  • Invisibility: Starting at 4th level, the Stygian Slayer can cast Invisibility once per day. This increases to twice per day at 8th level, and an additional use is gained every 4 levels thereafter, capping at 5 uses per day at 20th level. Their caster level for this ability is equal to their class level.
  • Shadowy Mist Form: At 10th level, the Stygian Slayer can transform into an incorporeal mist for a duration equal to their class level in minutes per day. While in this form, they cannot attack but gain significant damage reduction against non-magical weapons and half damage from most other sources, except for ghost touch, holy, divine, and force damage.
