Stygian Slayer advice needed


Advice


Ok, one of the players in our group is going to use the Stygian Slayer and is wondering about what appropriate critical related feats would be good. I'd say Impaling Critical, but that appears to be limited thanks to Weapon Specialization, which is fighter only (or a class that gets access to the fighter feats).

His original idea was a Stygian Slayer that carries around a bunch of rapiers and on getting a critical just leaves it in the guy and quickdraws another rapier, etc. Because of Impaling Critical requirements, that's out the window.

He still likes the idea of a TWF stygian slayer, possibly rapier and pick or even flail type build. However, the possibility for a THF Stygian Slayer is also pretty strong, as Falchion is a popular weapon in my crew.

What do you guys suggest for critical feat and weapon loadout? I think Stunning Critical, combined with Dastardly Finish and Sneaking Precision would make for a rather vicious combination as a rather brutal executioner.

I'd suggesta scimitar and kukri. 2h with scimitar but twf with both. The rangers TWF guide by STR ranger works wonders with slayers as well albeit you need some tweaking and changes.
