Idea for a new Demigod -- The Thief (needs a better name of course)

from Demigod Forums

I had an idea for a new Demigod today. I don't know exactly what he'd be called. But his theme would be gold, as in, the procurement and use thereof. He'd be kind of a theif character. But not an assassin--he'd be a general, with an army of minions who are, like, a bunch of filthy street urchins or something. And maybe he's a rat, or a rattish man. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I haven't layed out a full skill tree or anything, but skill lines could include:

Sacrifice damage to steal gold instead. (This would be a mode, kind of like TB's ice and fire modes.)

Sacrifice gold to increase defense. (Also a mode. Maybe can be combined with the gold steal mode just described.)

Improve minions' fighting abilities

Leech gold through minion attacks.

Discount on items. (Don't know if this would apply to the whole team.)

Hide -- Demigod and minions can be invisible, maybe only while not moving at first, and with upgrades, can be invisible while moving for a certain amount of time

Secret Passageways -- Demigod and Minions know secret ways to get to distant points on the map. This could be designed like a simple teleport spell, or maybe as an actual setting up of a permanant passageway.

Item Steal-- Demigod has a small chance to steal one of an enemy Demigod's non-favor usable items (i.e., an item that goes in one of the three slots on the lower right where you can put, for example, potions) on attack.

Trap--kind of like Reg's mines, but attaches to a friendly building and is detonated either when the building is attacked or when it is destroyed, don't know which.

Sacrifice gold to gain experience. (If he spends a lot of time leeching gold, he's not going to be able to level up very well since he won't be doing much damage. But I want the damage/gold-leech thing to be a tradeoff, or else there'd be no downside to his ability to leech gold.)

Anyway, those were some ideas I had. "Just thought I'd share."

its great ur sharing, and everyone should share any idea, no matter how unbalanced it may seem cause it may stem to a good idea.

 

plus im sure they appreciate the less amount of work

Great idea, thanks for sharing. However from my own experience any form of thieving in a game cause epic frustration from others players. 

 

I wouldn't dislike it but considering there are only 8heroes right now i definitly would prefer something less "weird" as the 9th =p

Hey Master Shake, just read your demigod suggestion from my post Demigod Idea 6.5 

This should be a very interesting hero to play, depending on his money to fight than his might or wisdom.  Not sure how a "stealing" demigod would work out.  Personally I don't like Item Steal.  Even with a small percentage, the chance to steal an opponent's "uber" items just won't fly.  Perhaps change this particular ability to something that render items null and void for a period of time? 

Overall, interesting insight of a possible next demigod.  Don't forget to look at my Demigod ideas!  (If you can make it past the wall-of-words that is).
