Hi folks,

I think everyone knows or has heard of the TV series "The Mentalist" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_mentalist)
(EDIT: "Mentalist - memoryartist, hypnotist, suggestionartist, master of manipulation of thoughts and behaviour")
I don't want to go too much into detail of the series, so just a quick rundown of my ideas for his skills:

1. Confuse
Trick your enemy's eyes.
Any of those effects, that change the players view, like shaking screen, changing view angles, rotate view, whatever, maybe a random pick of all of them, 5/15/25/35% chance on hit?

2. Meditation (ability)
Rely on your peace of mind and willpower.
Channeling ability, while key is pressed the player stays still not able to interact (move, shoot, look around) and closing his eyes (like the "blind" effect, black screen), regenerating 1/2/3/4 HP per sec? either 0 or max 5 sec cooldown.

3. Future View
You know the next steps of your enemy.
When hitting an enemy there is a 50% chance, that you can track the enemy for 2/4/6/8 seconds (visible on radar, see him through walls like wallhack, beacon around him?)

4.1 Abracadabra (ultimate)
Master of Magic.
You teleport directly behind your enemy (no range restriction), but are not able to shoot for 2/1,5/1/0,5 seconds. the own direction of view is not changed (no automatic aim at enemy; just like the human teleport but teleport location is directly behind the enemy) 20 sec cooldown

4.2 Abracadabra (ultimate)
Master of Magic.
You change location with your enemy (no range restriction), both directions of view are not changed both players still aim at the direction they aimed at before the change of positions, enemy is not able to shoot for 0,5/1/1,5/2 seconds afterwards. 20 sec cooldown

4.3 Lisbon (ultimate) [annotation: Teresa Lisbon is the mentalist's "boss", a well trained special agent, the mentalist often gets into dangerous situations and then calls for her to help him]
Call for help
Inflict 20/30/40/50 damage, no range restriction, 20 sec cooldown.


I wrote down 3 ultimates, cause all ideas sound pretty cool. (i like the second the most =))
I hope you understand my description of the skills. If not feel free to ask. Feel free to discuss.

Regards

Thx for your reply =)

Of course, the values/names/descriptions or even the functionality are only brief ideas and can be changed for balance or cosmetic issues. If the race is well balanced it hopefully gets packaged, too
Nice to hear that you like the race and are willing to code it if noone else does. I'd love to test it. (If I knew how to code races I would do so on my own, but unfortunately I'm too lazy to learn it right now :p)


EDIT:
Some new ideas for the skills:

-Change "Confuse" to "Hypnosis", don't distort the enemy but let him(and only him) see 1/2/3/4 models of the enemy (doubleteam from pokémon (sorry, didnt find a better comparison))

-Meditation is quite similar to the Shadow Hunters regeneration, which is 1/2/3/4 HP per sec anytime, so it might be underpowered, if the mentalist needs to stand still etc. Maybe give the mentalist a constant regeneration (1/2/3/4) and improve it to 3/4/5/6 while using the ability (= stand still, no interaction, "blind")

just some thoughts of mine
