	As pointed out in the Dragon Magazine article, for anyone wanting to use this template, it should be taken into consideration that all bhaalspawn hail from around the Times of Trouble, roughly 1358 DR. With the default starting year of 3.5 Forgotten Realms being 1372 DR, it'd make anyone sired by Bhaal shortly before his death a mere 14 years old. However, given that there is precious little child murder in the bhaalspawn saga, a game series that culminates in 1368 DR, and us knowing that Bhaal even fucked dragons, such issues can probably be dismissed.

			Slayer can be maintained indefinitely if the character has some way to negate the con damage. This can be achieved with [[Incarnum\|Strongheart Vest]] or a level in [[Binder]] to bind Naberius.

The '''Bhaalspawn''' are entities from the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting of [[Dungeons & Dragons]], whose brief but dramatic influence on the realms occurred during a short period towards the end of 2nd edition.

As their name suggests, the Bhaalspawn are the semi-divine offspring of [[Bhaal]], Faerun's God of Murder. Apparently warned by prophecy of his death during the Time of Troubles, Bhaal enacted a plan to resurrect himself; impregnating myriad women of myriad races, from the core PHB races to [[giant]]s and [[dragon]]s, Bhaal created an army of sons & daughters carrying slivers of his essence. In the event of his death, these Bhaalspawn would be compelled to fight and slay, both the mortals around them and each other, until the influx of murdered souls and slain Bhaalspawn would rejuvenate the slain Bhaal and restore him to life.

Amongst fans of [[Baldur's Gate]], the /v/ trilogy that covers this plot, Bhaalspawn is generally used as the term for the protagonist.
