Executioner is an Archetype of the Slayer class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

Description

These professional killers are trained and used almost exclusively by crime families.

Streetwise and ruthless, they operate independently, often making their talents available to the highest bidder. Though a few unscrupulous executioners exploit this arrangement and force families to pay higher rates for their services, most of these assassins follow a strict personal code and maintain absolute transparency with their employers.

Differences from Slayer class:

Base Features

	Focused Killer
	At 1st level, an executioner's studied target bonuses and the DCs of the saving throws against his slayer abilities increase by 1 against humanoid opponents, but decrease by 1 against non-humanoid targets. Non-humanoid targets are listed as: Aberrations, Animals, Constructs, Dragons, Fey, Magical Beasts, Monstrous Humanoids, Outsiders, Plants, Vermin, Undead. Has wrong condition for checking the target type, gives bonuses against everyone. (Last Version bug was seen:2.7.0w) (Wrath of the Righteous)
	Painful Strike
	At 4th level, an executioner automatically gains this talent. A creature that takes sneak attack damage from an executioner must make a successful Fortitude save (DC = 10 + half the executioner's class level + his Intelligence modifier) or become sickened for 1d4 rounds.
	Assassinate
	At 10th level, an executioner can target studied opponents in attempt to instantly kill them. This ability can only be used out of combat and the target must not see the executioner, apart from that its effects are similar to the coup de grace ability. At 14th level, whenever an executioner kills an enemy with assassinate, all other enemies in a 30-foot radius become demoralized. At 19th level, whenever an enemy survives an assassinate attempt by an executioner, it suffers 2d6 bleed damage.
