The Undead Slayer is a role specific to SLASH'EM. They are, as the name suggests, melee fighters that specialize in the harm or destruction of the undead. They can be any of the alignments, but they may not be Dwarven or Vampiric.

An Undead Slayer will start with an inordinate amount of intrinsic properties, including Drain resistance and Undead warning. In addition to that, they gain Speed at level 7 and Poison resistance at level 9.

They also have the basic ability to use medical kits, and they start the game with all non-magical weapons and armor recognised.

They have the technique to practice their weapons and turn undead at level 1.

The Undead slayer's quest artifact is The Stake of Van Helsing.
