The Skin-Changer class is based on the hobbit's character Beorn

The class contains
-Diamond Axe (Knockback I)
-Leather pants
-Resistance II
-Shape-Shift ability
-could be point or donor class

The shape-shift ability:
To activate the ability the player needs to hold sneak for 3 seconds, when the player gets hit it will interupt the charge of the ability.
When the player has sneaked for 3 seconds it will recieve a polarbear disguise (Retextured to be a brown angry bear)
and it will loose all their items, but it'll get some effects in stead.
-Speed I (maybe II)
-Strenght III
-Resistance IV
-Night Vision
-Jump Boost (if it recieves speed II)
This state will last 30-40 seconds and then the payer looses all effects but Resistance II
The player is still unarmed and needs a restock chest to get back its pants and axe.
The ability has a cooldown of 1-1,5 minutes.
Feedback is welcome.

Note:(It's probably too hard to code but I felt like sharing this idea anyways :P)
 
Sounds pretty cool, but also sounds a lot more like a NazGul/Balrog class than one everyone can use.
I'll have a thought about this one.
 
It can always get nerfed to be a normal class, but I think it's Ok as it is how I suggested it.
 
maybe the base class can be point along with bear, and I don't know the lore but if a skin changer could change to other skins maybe those can be donor exclusive?

in another thread I mentioned that some donors have strong feelings about the nerfs to their favourite classes but this would be a cool way to make donors special again while still keeping them balanced (provided the new skins are balanced) it would work like this: lord gets 1 more skin, legend 2, vet gets also 2, sage gets 3 and king would get 4 bonus skins if you are willing to code that much lolxd

If you nerf this, it wouldn't make sense. It's only fun when it's a Beorn like class that smashes through armies like in the movies. In which case it would be more of a NazGul class than normal one.
 
Don't make it only for staff though, that would really piss me off.
 
to be fair this is not lore friendly and as tim said a class that only the staff team could play and do you really want olex with more classes?

edit: i think that classes like this should be given randomly forcing players to play together as a team to defeat those classes so maybe just remove his regen instead and make him freeze when he get speared?
 
Just wanna state the power of this class so you can compare to other ones.

Strength 3 + punch = 10 damage (Berserker damage)
Resistance 4 = 80% damage reduction (Full diamond armor = 80% damage reduction)

Now keep in mind how powerful executioner was during it's pre nerf 6 second regen proc, now imagine a 30-40 second ability. And then there's the fact that all your cooldowns reset after you die.

Giving the ability speed ontop of all of this would be like having speed 1 sprinting berserker damage trolls.

FYI: (I'm all for having stronger and fun lore classes before people tell me fun > balance)
 
What about strenght II and Resistance II (both soldier armor and damage)?
And the cooldown could be included when you die.

Thanks for the information [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Rikumaru/74.png" name="Rikumaru"]7040062[/user] But I hope you get the idea of the class.
 
I like the idea of a skin changer - indeed more disguised classes would be fun, especially a beorn-esque one.
I mean one option would be to have this for Sage+ or something, and allow them to 'skin change' as any (or any prior-selected) class, but that might be OP. It'd be a new donor class ability, but based on total money donated rather than buying a single class like at the moment.

Or you could buy the skin-change ability with points. Or it could be as suggested, its own class.

Maybe make it killstreak based, the more kills u get the longer u can stay at this state.

that would be like executioner and therefore really op. what if it got 30 sec and every kill took 5 seconds off because beorn and other skin changers have a conscience? this would require one to be super choosy about who they kill.
 
please keep in mind balance, we don't want another exe.
I like the idea of 30 sec ability and restricted to 6 kills, so you have to choose who you kill
 
I'm locking this. As Tobberz said, this idea is pinned for us and we will discuss it eventually.
