Dear all

I am new to this forum. I have been a player of bg for a long time. And I have started again, after a few years of pause.
I am struggling with a very strange issue
My character dies a minute after the slayer change. He gets a strange sequence of undescribed physical damage with no save in this sequence
3 damage
4 damage
10 damage
19 damage
death

Can anybody explain me what is going on? I have never encountered this issue.
It only happens if I change into the Slayer

Thanks!

I think it's the games way of keeping itself balanced by preventing you from just running around as the slayer the whole time and killing everything. That happens in my game too. You have to change back into a human again (the ability to do that can be accessed in the same place that you click to turn into the slayer) after only a short time as the slayer or you will die. I always have plenty of healing potions in my quick item slots so that I can survive the first few rounds of damage, but eventually it will get to be too much and will kill you (I think it does over 1,000 damage to you eventually if you survive for too long) so it is best to keep your slayer changes short and focused on specific opponents. One way to slow down its effects a little bit is to wear items like the Ring of Gaxx that regenerate your hitpoints every few seconds and/or cast a regeneration spell on yourself before you start so that you are getting some health back while you're losing it.

Also, everytime you change into slayer, you lose 2 reputation (from memory).
