Journey of the Blind

[Whitewolf8]

Kinda deciding between a Campaign and an RPG type thing... Alternatively, I could make it an RPG Campaign (Like with Rexxar's campaign) and be done with it. I'll probably be making this campaign after I finish Tales of a Footman - Frederick.

The main character is Gaius the Blind Monk, and he uses a Staff.

Since I have nothing besides ability ideas, here ya go!

Palm Strike - Strikes the enemy with an outstretched hand to send an unfortunate foe flying (Knockback), deals 80*Lvl damage, stuns for 1*Lvl seconds.

Coil - Increases damage by 5*Lvl as well as imbuing the staff with fire, giving an AoE attack for 30 seconds.

Assault Step - Instantly moves to the target striking them with the staff, deals 75 damage.

Whirlwind Snap - The Monk swings his staff around, hitting all units in range (300 range) for 75*Lvl damage as well as disorienting them, making them miss 10+5*Lvl% of the time for 20 seconds.

The maximum level will probably be 25-30.


Thoughts, ideas?

Make it a RPG Campaign! I wanna see you suffer!

Do you have any special ideas for gameplay? Or just the typical War3 gameplay?

The spells are not bad bad.

 

[Whitewolf8]

Unfortunately, I have no special ideas currently, but, that may change at some point after I begin.
...
We'll see.

Maybe make it centered around Pandaria, for another view of the happenings in MoP and Garrosh's stuff? RPG campaign would be best for that, or a normal campaign with pandaren units ^^

 

[Whitewolf8]

Pandas huh? I like the idea of that. Would also be fun to beat Garrosh up too, haha.

 

[cleavinghammer]

Give him some passives too, if the end level is that high.

 

[Whitewolf8]

There are 7 abilities, 5 learnables (The last of which is an ultimate), that's 4 of 7 in the first post

Random passive, probably won't stick, but~ Unbreakable Guard - Gives a 7*Lvl% chance to parry all oncoming attacks.

Hmmm, looks interesting. The main character which is a Monk reminds me much of a Diablo games so I've got some ideas for an introduction story maybe (sorry for my grammar, I am not good at some points but I hope you can understand it). To sum it up in a short but understandable story:

"Gaius is a Blind Monk but even with his condition, he has the power to see the future and what catastrophe it will bring. One night, he saw in his dream, the arrival of a great Demonic Force that will terrorize the world and make the humans as their slaves. Because of this, Gaius acted and he will put a stop to this!"

For the spells you have as an idea, they are perfect. Though for the Palm Strike, you might want to add something into it like after the usage of the spell, it will add a buff that increases his attack speed drastically for a short period of time.

Overall, good luck and hope you can make this idea a reality.

 

[Whitewolf8]

Hm... Seems like an interesting backstory... I'll think on that.

As for Palm Strike, how about this~
Strikes the enemy with an outstretched hand to send an unfortunate foe flying (Knockback), deals 80*Lvl damage, stuns for 1*Lvl seconds, also has a 30% chance to apply the 'Concentration' buff, which increases his attack speed by 50% and gives a 10% chance to dodge.

 

[Binsu]

Yup, a better idea, good luck with it.

I had another idea for 2 heroes, then there will be 3 monks: a blind one, a deaf one and a 'silent' one (see no evil,hear no evil, speak no evil) Thoughts?

Also, have you heard about the Burdens of Shaohao? It's a short series by Blizzard with a lot of lore in it:

Good luck!

 

[Whitewolf8]

Sorry, but, there will only be one Monk.

Even so, thanks for the idea!
