    The K/M, being the more magic-oriented class, is also well able to defend himself against protection-stripping spells and attacks. Honestly, a K/M is more like a Mage with formidable fighting skills rather than a real F/M class.

    The thing about Wizard Slayer/Mages is that they can disable any casting character. Unfortunately, the "ideal" Wizard Slayer/Mage can only be created via Shadowkeeper, by assigning a kit to an F/M multiclass.

    Heh - wouldn't a Wizard Slayer/Mage just want to kill himself?

    No...actually, an RPing case could be made that the Wizard Slayer was fighting the Wizards he hunted on their own turf...a case of using fire to fight fire so to speak.

    IIRC, I've read something very similar, but not sure if it was legit DnD.

    It is also not implied in the kit description whether or not a Wizard Slayer despises magic. He has been trained to hunt spellcasters, and will do so only with good reason.

    If you're RPing a class with an innate hatred against magic, use an Inquisitor.

    A wizard slayer/mage would be able to use any items his kit allows plus anything that a wizard can use. The wizard's useability values supersede the wizard slayer's useability restrictions. In other word's, the only things you lose are items unuseable by both wizard slayers and mages. Most items a fighter/mage could use are also useable by the wizard slayer/mage. Like I said......cheesy. ;)
