Slayer

The supernatural world holds no attraction for the slayer. The slayer does not want to understand it. The slayer does not want to co-exist with it. They simply want to kill it with fire. The ferocity of the slayer's desire to destroy the supernatural can act as a mystical force in its own right, protecting the slayer from harm and imbuing their weapon with the power to face their chosen foe.

Class Abilities
Weapon of Power (Ex): Every slayer has a chosen weapon that acts as a focus for their crusade against the supernatural. A slayer's connection to their weapon is deep and personal, and the weapon often means more to them than other people. When facing supernatural opponents, the weapon of power acts as a magic weapon with properties listed. When not facing supernatural opponents, the weapon of power functions as a mundane weapon of its type.

If a slayer's weapon of power is lost or destroyed, that slayer loses all confidence, suffering a -2 penalty to all rolls against the supernatural until the weapon is recovered or replaced. The process of replacing a weapon of power takes one month.

Damage Reduction (Ex): At 2nd level, a slayer becomes resistant to the attacks of the supernatural. A slayers takes 2 less damage from all sources of damage that are not labelled either natural or modern. At 5th level the reduction is increased to 3 damage, and at 8th level it is increased to 5 damage.

Defiant Stand (Ex): At 6th level, a slayer gains the ability to make a defiant stand against powerful supernaturals. When facing a supernatural opponent whose challenging rating is higher than the slayer's level, the slayer gains +2 circumstance bonus to all attacks, damage, saves, and armor class against that opponent.

However, if the slayer is forced to flee without defeating that opponent, they will suffer a -2 circumstance penalty to all attacks, damage, saves, and armor class until either the opponent is defeated, or a full week passes, whichever comes first.
