You have dedicated yourself to hunting down creatures of the night and wielders of grim magic. A monster slayer seeks out vampires, dragons, evil fey, fiends, and other magical threats. Trained in supernatural techniques to overcome such monsters, slayers are experts at unearthing and defeating mighty, mystical foes.

Monster Slayer Magic

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Monster Slayer Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Hunter's Sense

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Slayer's Prey

Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon.

This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature.

Supernatural Defense

At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your prey’s assaults on your mind and body. Whenever the target of your Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw and whenever you make an ability check to escape that target's grapple, add 1d6 to your roll.

Magic-User's Nemesis

At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone else's magic. When you see a creature casting a spell or teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to try to magically foil it. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, or its spell or teleport fails and is wasted.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Slayer's Counter

At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your prey tries to sabotage you. If the target of your Slayer’s Prey forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s normal effects.

The Monster Manuals are a series of in-game catalogs of certain monsters you have slain. Each provides rewards for certain benchmarks - how many different types you have killed, or how many killed by a specific character, or by their party, or by your account all combined. They are organized into Volumes, and each volume provides access to several specific monster types.

All Volumes are free to VIP. Premium and Free to Play players must purchase additional volumes individually, although both have free access to the Prologue, and Volume 1 is free to Premium accounts. Each Volume must be purchased in order - 2 can only be bought if you already have 1, 3 can only be bought if you already have 2, and so on. After purchase, it may be necessary to log out and log in again for full access to the manual.

See this page for detailed information for each monster type from the Monster Manual. It lists all monsters in the game that appear in the Monster Manual of DDO. Although the list is extensive, it is not complete yet.

Rewards[edit]

Each monster type has Character Deeds, Account Deeds, and Mastery Rewards associated with it. Once you have killed your first monster of that type, you are able to view all of the potential rewards for that Monster.

Character Deeds[edit]

Character Deeds must be accomplished by that character.

• Character deeds are currently all a progressively increasing XP reward.
• Some rewards are based on kills, much like a slayer for an individual monster. Others, known as 'hunter' rewards, are based on finding new unique monster sub types.
• Much like wilderness slayers, the totals are for individual and party.
  • The total counts towards your reward, but the Manual lists both if you are interested.

Account Deeds[edit]

Account Deeds are a total for all your characters on that server.

• Earning account deeds are based on alternating slayer and hunter accomplishments.
• Rewards start with unlocking lore text and 3.5/4.0 PnP art. Higher-end rewards depend on the volume and can include DDO Points, Astral Shards, or Mysterious Remnants. (See table above.)
  • An issue with the highest DP reward not showing was fixed U15.1.

Mastery Rewards[edit]

Monster Slayers The Heroes Of Hesiod

Mastery Rewards are earned by a combination of total Character and Account Deeds.

• There are currently two types of rewards for mastery, which are earned by completing a certain number of account deeds.
  • All monsters have the reward of being able to view the current and total HP for all sub types of that monster.
  • Certain monsters in the manuals can reward a creature companion of that monster, for example the prologue spider entry will reward a spider companion. You must earn all account deeds to unlock the companion. See this page for a complete list of rewarded companions.
