Map Concept

The tribal does not battle by greed nor for victory; his fightlust is based on blood. He seeks preys he can slice to pieces and store their blood either in flasks, or within himself.

He has a bloodmeter (custom barsystem) which increases the more he combats. Normal attacks increases the meter, as well as the Rend ability. He then uses the blood to amplify Exhale and Fiest.

Blood Flask:

The first item he lost was the flask he stores his victims blood in, he is capable of holding it within his body, however, without the flask the blood doesn't last for long.

Tribal Shield:(could use another name)

I have yet to find a good background for this item. However, I've found a good model for it which fits the shaman perfectly, so I'd prefer to use it somehow.

He has "Rend", a basic damage ability which deals instant damage as well as appyling a small dot. It also adds some to his bloodmeter.

Next ability is "Exhale", an ability based on Breath of Fire. He breathes out a cone of blood, dealing damage and marking all targets with blood. This makes it possible for him to hunt them down. Damage is increased if he has sufficient blood.

Fiest is a healing ability where he drinks up all the blood he's got stored to refill his own health. Nothing fancy here.

Blooded Tracks is a passive spell where he constantly drips pools of blood. These gives vision to the Tribal, but each pool also cost a bit from his bloodmeter, unless he is carrying the blood flask.

Each hero should have 4 active abilities, so I have yet to add one here.

The Guardian is the keeper of the artifacts. He residents in a underground-crypt, and in no way will he let anyone near the powerful artifacts.

The Guardian collects relics which are spread around the map. Unlike the Tribal, his meter doesn't increase. He can use the relics to increase the effect of his spells.

Ankh:

No motivation on this one yet.

Spiderling:

The Guardian has lost on of his precious childs. This "item" functions more like a pet.

Oviduct:

I know it's kind of hard to lose something like this, however. If he(it?) finds it, he will be able to ressurect himself by using "Lair".

First off is "Scarabs", this is a summon spell which can both be used to track enemies, but also to trap them. Otherwise it functions similiar to the Crypt Lord spell, other then that it doesn't require any corpse.

"Burrow" digs the Guardian down in the ground, this can be used to hide when being hunted. Note though that he will be seen if the enemy gets close enough.

The last ability is "Lair". I'm uncertain of the basic functions of it, however, when the Guardian has obtained the Oviduct, he will be able to lay an egg and rehatch from it would he be killed.

The Warlock seeks for power. Deep in a library he found texts describing four mighty artifacts, hidden in the area. Bound to claim this power for himself, he sets out to find it, killing all who oppose him.

The Warlock has a Focus-meter which increases the more spells he casts in a row (think combo). The higher the Focus, the higher the effectivness of his spells.

Staff:

No motivation yet.

Spellbook:

Creates a shield which gives a minor protection against magic attacks.

-Insert famous Night Elf- sensed evil thoughts disturbing the peace in his forests. To vanquish the evil, he has sent the Sentry, one of his finest warriors.

Similiar theme to the Sentry in Dark Chants

Eagle:

By finding her lost eagle, the Sentry will be able to send away two eagles, making it easier to find her prey.

Glaive:

Increases the range from melee to short range.

Cenarions Horn:

Summons some kind of help from the forest. (descriptive yes?)

The first spell is "Eagle", which summons an eagle that circles the Sentry and scouts for nearby forest-enemies.

"Root" pierces through the target, doing instant damage and stopping its movement a short duration.

The last ability is "Meld", which makes the Sentry invisible and slows her movement speed. However, if the enemy gets to close they can still sense her.
