INNKEEPER (WIP) by matheod

First, this is a different concept than this one : http://www.heroesfire.com/hots/concept/innkeeper-812 which is also pretty cool.


This heroe maint ability would be the trait ability, which have a 2s canalisation and a 45s cooldown. His trait would draw "a card". More exactly, it would take randomly choose an ability based on hearthstone card. Then this ability can be activated once (it disappear after use). And because there is 3 slot, he could only get 3 "cards" at the same time.

So this hero would have very powerfull ability, but he would have to draw new "card/ability" each time, so after using he three card during a fight he would become useless (sort of). Also card draw are based on chance so you may not get what you want.

Before being able to draw a card, you would have to choose an hearthstone hero class, which would affect card you draw and also one of your heroic ability.

To choose an hero class, your ability become hearthstone hero portrait, using your trait to show other class, using a portait ability choose this hero.

By the way, what are these heroic ability ?

The first would be the ability to use the hearthstone hero class ability. Talent level 20 increase effect of the hero class ability (reduce cooldown, more damage, etc.). The second would allow you to have 4 card at the same time (the heroic ability slot become a slot for card your draw). Talent level 20 greatly increase move speed and attack speed when you have 4 cards.

This hero also start with an active ability (with 1s cooldown) allowing him to discard a card.

Possible talent would be :
- A talent reducing your trait cooldown
- A talent reducing by 30s your trait cooldown when you discard a card with the active ability
- A talent reseting your class (hearthstone hero) : upon use you lose your card and you can't draw a card untill you choose your class again.
- A talent (level 20) allowing you to change class (with a cooldown).
- A talent removing canalisation on your trait.
- Talents giving stack to your draw talent. I said talentS, so in multiple (3 in facts) tiers, you will be able to increase the stack of the draw trait by one.
- Other talents would be simple active ability based on hearthstone card (infinite use but with cooldown).




Also, this hero doesn't really use mana. In fact he start with 1 max mana, and each time he choose a trait his max mana increase by 1. The card he can draw depends on his max mana (i.e. you can't draw hearthstone card requiring more mana crystal (in hearthstone) than your max mana). Innkeeper mana is always full.


Other possibles talents :
- The mana coin : increase max mana by 1
- Talent increasing chance to draw a better* card.

*better = requiring more mana crystal in hearthstone, because when you draw card, you can draw card requiring 1 mana crystal even if you have 8 max mana :)




I could have make innkeeper use mana. It's not a bad idea, but you would now have the possibility to draw card and not being able to use them due to mana.
