Innate Skill:
Stiletto

• Passive
  <Hero>'s attack deals light physical damage and extends bleed by X seconds per hit.

Level 1 Skill:
My LIfe

• Melee Range Active
  Enemy unit loses half it's bleed duration,taking X magickal damage for every second of bleed lost. Nearby allied units are healed for this amount.

Level 1 Skill:
River of Dreams

• Active Teleport
  Blinks to target conditioned unit, extending the durations of all conditions on it by X%.

Level 1 Skill:
Only the Good Die Young

• Activated Passive
  Any struck enemy unit gains a debuff which causes it to take X times more damage from Bleed if it has not applied a condition in the past Y seconds. Debuff lasts Z seconds (Y or Z would be a constant)

Level 6 Ultimate:
We Didn't Start the Fire

• Active
  Fires a projectile, which deals X Magickal Damage to the first unit it strikes, as well as Y% of the magickal damage and conditions that would have been applied to the projectile as it flies.

Uh... had the idea for Stiletto, and just kinda ran with the theme... Links to each song are contained in the skill names... uh... yeah, that's about it.

It's hard to take a hero based on song names by Billy Joel serious.

Anyways, I also really don't like the idea of an innate that gives a hero perpetual access to a condition. At least Rose has to sacrifice a skill slot for it.

[TheDeathstalker]

I kinda figured bleed is innocuous enough by itself to use, especially if the hero takes an appropriate hit in DPS to allow it as such... I guess I could work it into her skills as they are, but I'm trying to avoid the thing alot of other heroes have such as adding to My Life something like "If unit is not bleeding, it starts bleeding for X seconds" or something.

And yeah, a little hard to take seriously, but eeh, it's fun enough to do.

[Rising_Dusk]

I do not think the problem of spammed "If condition X is present, do Y" stuff is solved by making condition X innately accessible to the hero. I also don't particularly like that River of Dreams skill. It just feels boring. My Life is too Flickerflame for Bleed and We Didn't Start the Fire seems like the most uninspired ultimate I've seen in awhile. (Nothing personal)

I really also don't see how the skill names fit what the skills do at all. Maybe this is why I really don't like heroes generated from song titles and stuff like this.

[TheDeathstalker]

Huh, maybe I'm losing my edge then. I kinda thought We Didn't Start the Fire is a pretty neat skill, designed around being a moderately meaningful counter to an AoE Spam on the Order's side...

And all of a sudden the novelty of the song skill names is worn off on me... damnit.

[Intoxicated Crayon]

Must be Crayonic Syndrome that's inducing your "loss of edge".

:p

[TheDeathstalker]

I think it has more to do with running with half-baked ideas, and not having the time to really develop them like I used to (damn college getting hard), but I'll have to check on that Crayonic Syndrome...

It is a fire and forget projectile that has to be inert long enough to accrue enough conditions to even be remotely valuable. Put this in terms of gameplay, the thing is unreliable (because it hinges on the enemy building it up), slow (it has to sit awhile to get conditions), and boring (obligatory projectile ultimate).

And all of a sudden the novelty of the song skill names is worn off on me... damnit.

It's clever/cute the first time it's done on a hero for a skill it makes sense with. It gets old after the second time, and to put this in perspective, you did it 7 times.

It is a fire and forget projectile
