Im currently working on a new Open RPG game, and I would love to here some of your ideas for "new heroes", I'm always interested in hering outside opinions on a good hero that I should add. So, if you have a hero idea, feel free to post it here (I will give you credit in my game for any ideas that i use)

Well Im working on heros for my upcoming hero arena but Ill share one of my ideas. In mine 2 (most likely 3) of its spells will be JASSed (1 almost done), but you could add any abilitys really.

Mage of Fate
Desc: Relies on luck and randomness to slay his foes, and assist his allies. Many spells have random (good and bad) effects, and others can better your coffers by gambling.

Abilities:
Gamble- Uses mana to genorate 3 random numbers between 1 and 3. If two match you get the amount of gold that is 10 times the level of the ability.
Lucky Deflection- Gives a percent chance to block an attack.
Spell of the Fates: Casts a random AoE ability (3 buff, 3 damage)
[?Unknown?]- Ideas wanted

I like that idea, and I would use it... but unfortunately I currently dont have (or atleast dont know what or how to use it) JASS or skinning or anything of that nature. I'm planning on working that out once i get everything else in my map finished. Great idea though, thanks.

That contains no JASS spells, they are trigger enhanced. BIG difference.

Actually im using JASS spells for local texttags, so yes they are JASS spells. They scould be done as GUI, but Id rather not clutter it up with globals.

As I said, you could radically modify those spells.

If you don't belive me, I'll post the partial code for gamble here. Im going to release "Hero Demo Packs" so I can balance the game before its beta anyway. Just PM me when I start posting them (just started this hero yesterday), and you might be able to use a couple.
