Witchdoctor [Neutral/Support]

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#1

Just an idea I had for a class. Don’t really have any names for some abilities yet though so always open to suggestions
Witchdoctor

  • (Passive) Immunity to Poison & Bleed
  • Sacred Potion (Day - 1 use) Makes target immune to death until next day. Does not save from Prince Execution or King OE
  • (Night - Infinite uses) Heal a player, curing poison or bleed and save from an attack
  • Final Tribute (Night - 1 use after N4) Sacrifice yourself to resurrect one dead player into your place. Can not resurrect the NK or Prince.

Winning Conditions
Survive until the final day or if Final Tribute was used, win with resurrected players faction

Make him able to rezz NK and win with them. It will be fun trust me!

Reviving doesn’t really work in ToL though.

Cough cough priest makes res unconvertable

#4

Would only have a chance of working if it replaced Alch.

#5

Could alternate spawn with alch

I still oppose it due to information from the dead hitting, But technically as a neutral with a “replace” resurection mechanic, it could avoid the unconvertable and confirmed issues. IE it could work more or less like a reverse possesion. IE dead person keeps his abilities but gets the name and skin of living WD.

Because it is a neutral that’s doing the action, there’s no reason to make the revived unconvertable. One of WDs win conditions would be for that target to win. So WD could revive observer, observer could be converted to unseen. If unseen win, WD, and nightwatch/assasain win.

Again not totally sold on it due to dead information, and prince and MM should be exceptions to the targets.

Fixed it, mb

What if players don’t get feedback the night they die in Witchdoctor games? It would be annoying but they’d also have hope of getting resurrected

#10

well making it explicit to witchdoctor games seems a bit silly but come to think of it recieving feedback on the night you die, is pretty much a bad idea now anyway. There’s no means to relay it to the living, meaning it’s information that by definition can only be used by cheaters.

Possesor jumps though are the rough one… The game can’t really make you unaware that your body is still arguing with people after you are dead.

I actually really like this. You can take your chances reviving someone and hoping they win or you can wait a bit longer and see if the odds play in your favor for surviving.

One question, what if you are attacked the night you use this ability? Does it still take effect or does the kill negate this?

I think since you’re killing yourself it would override the attack unless it was empowered like what reaper can do

#13

Okay that makes sense. Like the idea, keep it up!

#14

We’ve already gone over this. The devs don’t want any form of dead interaction in the game as it’s too swingy.

#15

Other then the devs not wanting it in the game, it’s still a good idea. Even tho it might never be added because they don’t want any dead interaction.
