extension of their aggression, as well as expanding their treasure
options to include other people. Bards and rangers are less
likely to take up such a prestige class, and there are few druids
who would consider it.
Thayan slavers can be found throughout Faerûn, wherever
slaves are traded. Sometimes they work or travel incognito, especially
in places in which slavery is outlawed. Of course, Thay
is filled with all sorts of Thayan slavers, many of whom work
together in the great slave markets of Bezantur, Tyraturos,
and Eltabbar.
Hit Die: d6.

PRESTIGE CLASSES
38
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Thayan slavers are proficient
with all simple weapons, with light armor, and with
shields. They are also proficient with the sap, spiked chain,
whip, and net.
Spells Per Day/Spells Known: At each Thayan slaver level,
the character gains the ability to cast a small number of
arcane spells. He gains arcane spells per day according to Table
2–13. He must choose his spells from the Thayan slaver spell
list, below. The slaver’s caster level is equal to his Thayan
slaver level. To cast a spell, the slaver must have an Intelligence
score of at least 10 + the spell’s level. Thayan slaver
bonus spells are based on Intelligence, and saving throws
against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the slaver’s
Intelligence modifier. When the slaver gets 0 spells of a given
level, such as 0 1st-level spells at 1st level, the slaver gets only
bonus spells. The slaver prepares and casts spells just as a
wizard does.
Ruthless Beating: A Thayan slaver is an expert at dealing
out nonlethal punishment. He takes no penalty for choosing
to deal subdual damage instead of normal damage with a
melee weapon. A slaver may also use a melee weapon to deal
subdual damage in a sneak attack, although he attacks with a
–2 penalty in this case.
Enervating Attack: As the assassin death attack ability,
except that Thayan slavers have only the option of paralyzing
their victims. If a Thayan slaver has levels in the assassin
prestige class (see Chapter 2: Characters in the DUNGEON
MASTER’s Guide), he may add his assassin and Thayan slaver
class levels together for purposes of calculating the DC of his
enervating attack. Slaver class levels do not add to the DC of
the assassin’s death attack.
Break Will (Ex): At 2nd level, the Thayan slaver gains the
ability to break a target’s will. Any time the Thayan slaver
wins an Intimidation check by 10 or more, the opponent takes
1 point of temporary Wisdom damage. Such lost Wisdom returns
at the rate of 1 point per day of rest, but most Thayan
slavers don’t give their slaves a chance to recover.
Sneak Attack (Ex): At 4th, 7th, and 10th level, a Thayan
slaver deals additional sneak attack damage as the rogue
ability. If the Thayan slaver gets a sneak attack bonus from
another source (such as rogue levels), the bonuses to
damage stack.
