I totally get where you’re coming from and I too get the desire for thematic consistency. But let’s be real, D3.5 already made its bed with mount armor made of demon skulls and flying horses made of obsidian. The Slayer wouldn’t be out of place - if anything, it would feel right at home. Especially in a game that’s leaning hard into “ARPG sandbox with cosmetics” territory. At this point, RP is what you make of it, and for some of us, that RP includes ripping and tearing across Sanctuary
