Spells eh? These must be random people or something...cause we made all the hero ones..hmm.

-Rolling Flame Sphere
Tooltip: Rolling fireball damages enemies while traveling.
Description: A unit is summoned that has no collision. it circles around the hero at x distance, and if it goes through an enemy, it does x damage. So it's basically a slightly different immolation.

-Bowling for Heroes
Tooltip: Roll a giant ball of C4!
Description: Summons a giant bowling ball (some kind of ball), once it is ordered in a direction it will continue to go that direction until it:
A) gets close enough to an enemy hero to detonate!
B) timer expires (it'd be hard to figure out how to make it blow up on contact with the edge, so just let the summon timer do it)

(this next one is another kamikaze unit one, but funner)
-Kamikaze Bomber!
Tooltip: HAHAHAHAHA!
Decription: summons a unit (which has max speed I might add) that immediately chooses a random enemy hero on the map and attempts to chase him down and go KABOOM!. The only way to beat it is to outrun it or your allies kill it with magic/attacks when it's running.

-Bribe
Tooltip: Bribe an enemy hero.
Description: Uses x mana and requires x money, a trigger based spell that gives the x money to the owner of the enemy hero to change owners of that hero for x seconds. (i.e. Player 1 uses Bribe, Player 2 gets 200 gold but doesn't have his hero for x seconds).

-Meteor
Tooltip: Summon a meteor
Description: Basically use infernal spell, but make it summon an unit that has no movement type, no attack, and looks like...surprise..a meteor? It falls to the ground dealing lots of damage and a long stun, and then sits there for x seconds. It has perm immolation (a custom super-strong one with a big range), so if it's sitting there it's damaging enemy heroes nearby. It has like 500 hp, so enemies can bust if up if they want to.

-Meteor Swarm
Tooltip: Summon multiple meteors
Description: Meteor basically, except in numbers, so use Rain of Chaos as base spell rather than Infernal.

Could we maybe get a lkist of heroes who need spells, it makes it easier to come up with ideas for them. (at least it did on my thread.)

Hmm, heres another one you might like

Blaze
Tooltip - Leave a trail of fire in your wake
Effect - Creates fire doodads behind the caster and damages anyone who nears them. The fire follows the caster, and lasts as long as the caster has 20 mana or greater (Depletes 20 mana p/second.

I have a bunch of heros (20) and rough-sketches of their abilities that I prepared for a CTF map that's never going to get off the ground. Do you want 'em, D-I?

WHOA... This thread is still relevant, seeing as the hero development is going forward... So Panto, if you check by this thread again, please feel free to post your 20 heroes or whatever you have right here :). Thank you.

Hey, you didn't get hit by a rabid bus after all! So how's the map going? Are you gonna actually finish it? Where can I go to see its progress?

I can't believe this thing is still going also. I posted last in August...scary. Where's all my ideas in action? lol. Give us an update.

Not much to show right now... I haven't even updated my Sig with new stats... I handed the map over to DEMANUFACTURE, since I got tired of scrapping together Heroes, I hadn't even begun working with the spells for them... But I think that the "Confusion" spell would be excellent for the Wishmaster or The Riddler, (Both NE).

Do you guys want a list of heroes so you can continue with spells? I also need a lot more Item ideas... Any ideas are welcome. The gameplay will, however, not be changed so no more ideas for that. Also, do you think I should update my first post? :).

Anyway, DEMANUFACTURE, or Jake, is really hard to get a hold off... I've been trying to catch him on MSN for about two weeks now for status report. If he hasn't done anything I think I'll take it back and begin with trigger-driven spells. But I need ADVANCED ones. I did a "Rocket" spell which chases the target for ~5 seconds and then explodes. Looks really nice, and it might suit STFU Arena, with a few dmg changes.

Think that's all...
