al-Rahdin - Sand Wraith


al-Rahdin was a loner living in the desert. For reasons unknown, he became a permanent host for a sand spirit, neither a curse nor a blessing. Since then, tales of sand laying waste to the Scourge forces surfaced. Be it the sand blinding and cripling them, or spikes impaling them from beneath in the midst of chaos, or even drowning them in a devastating sand storm, it all ends with the sand drifting away, leaving a trail of destruction behind.


Range: 600 | Move Speed: 310
Primary: INT
Str: 20 + 2.2 | Agi: 15 + 1.5 | Int: 24 + 2.4
Damage: 48 - 52 | HP: 530 | Mana: 312
HP Regen: 0.78 | Mana Regen: 0.75
Attack Speed: 1.43 | Armor: 3


Sand Spikes (E)
al-Rahdin solidifies the sand around him to form spikes, randomly impaling foes from beneath.
Level 1 - 12 spikes. Each spike deals 15 damage, 0.2 second stun.
Level 2 - 15 spikes. Each spike deals 20 damage, 0.3 second stun.
Level 3 - 17 spikes. Each spike deals 25 damage, 0.4 second stun.
Level 4 - 20 spikes. Each spike deals 30 damage, 0.5 second stun.
Mana Cost : 120/140/160/180
Cooldown : 10
Framework : Spikes striking randomly in a small AoE around character.
Notes : A nuke perhaps? Unlike targeted spells like Omnislash or Eclipse, this is more of an AoE spell. Impales the AREA around al-Rahdin randomly, so chances of 10 spikes or more hitting the same target is highly unlikely, I think.


Sand Spirit (D)
Housing a sand spirit, sand clouds are constantly around him, leaving a trail of sand wherever he goes. Unconciously, the sand clouds will harm and criple nearby foes AND any enemy attacker. al-Rahdin also learned to attack from afar using the sand. Orb effect. Required skill for other skills to work.
Level 1 - 3 damage per second. Foe misses on 10% of attacks, speeds slowed by 10%.
Level 2 - 5 damage per second. Foe misses on 13% of attacks, speeds slowed by 13%.
Level 3 - 7 damage per second. Foe misses on 17% of attacks, speeds slowed by 17%.
Level 4 - 9 damage per second. Foe misses on 20% of attacks, speeds slowed by 20%.
Mana Cost : N/A
Cooldown : N/A
Framework : Sand surrounds a small area around character. Acts like the old Sand Veil, skill effects remain with the trail during the duration. Enemy units within the sand cloud around al-Rahdin, or the trail, will be affected, so will ANY attacker. Units affected will have semi-transparent sand around them. al-Rahdin blurs with each level. Once skill is learned, al-Rahdin's attacks will be shooting sand at the enemy.
Notes : Effects last 2 seconds. Unoriginal.


Drift (T)
al-Rahdin wills his body to completely break apart, drift a distance, and reconstructs himself.
Level 1 - 800 range.
Level 2 - 900 range.
Level 3 - 1000 range.
Level 4 - 1100 range.
Mana Cost : 90/100/110/120
Cooldown : 12/10/9/8
Framework : al-Rahdin disappears, sand cloud drifts to designated spot, then al-Rahdin reappears.
Notes : Works something like Wave Form. Leaves a trail of sand behind from Sand Spirit. A blink-like spell. Seems ok...right?
(Reworked it, thanks peppo51)


Desert Storm (R)
By sheer force of will, al-Rahdin manipulates sand and mineral particles around him, striking up a particle storm over a large area. Though powerful, he has to concentrate so hard it prevents him from performing other attacks, slows him down, and is taxing both physically and mentally.
-30% movement speed at all levels.
Level 1 - 140 damage per second. Foe misses on 19% of attacks, speeds slowed by 12%.
Level 2 - 170 damage per second. Foe misses on 22% of attacks, speeds slowed by 16%.
Level 3 - 210 damage per second. Foe misses on 25% of attacks, speeds slowed by 20%.
Health & Mana Cost : 100/120/140 per second
Cooldown : N/A
Framework : Spreads from character out like Sand Storm, over an area a little wider.
Notes : Activatable, stacks with Sand Spirit. Acts more like Rot, but suffering a self movement speed impediment. al-Rahdin will also be unable to perform any attacks and spells while this is activated. This skill will be his only source of offense when activated. Imba?


Final Notes : I'm blur and sleepy, not too creative at the moment. Need help with background story and names, and have totally no idea which character model or skill icons to use.

ahm, i think the blink is too out of range, even if it has a hgih manacost, he is still an int hero, so, he can cast it whenever he wants, i think what can only counter that is anti-mage's mana break... and you already have the slow effect, i suggest you nerf the blink a little, and in every level, dont increase the blink range, decrease the cooldown instead, like lvl4 with 5 or 8 sec cooldown, something like that... and i think its not like timewalk, its somewhat like waveform, ecluding the damage..

and as for the other skills, the ultimate--- is that some kind of epicenter or something like leshrac's ulti???

and the first skill, what will happen if you only have 1 unit around u, what will happen? a lot of damage to that unit? a lot of consecutive impales? i cant understand how would it look like...

sandspirit is not bad, its original, and please also post a comment on my thread, Tahla-krish, The Elven Crusader... many thanks..

ill rate it 7/10
