Passive - Blood Pool:

• If you have full health, Health orbs are stored for later use. Max.: 50 orbs
• If you die, your stored orbs will be consumed for instant revival.

Notes: When you die you are instantly healed, and are granted 1,5 seconds invulnerability. Healing is based on how many Health orbs you have.

 

First Ability - Drain

• Description: Immobilizes and drains health over time from target enemy.
• Energy Cost: 25
• Damage: 40 per tick (Power Strength)
• Range: 20m (Power Range)
• Duration: 5 seconds/10 ticks (Power Duration)

Notes: Reducing Power Duration works similar to Trinity's Energy Vampire. Health drained is 100% of damage dealt. Multiple enemies can be drained at once.

 

Second Ability - Metamorphosis

• Description: Transforms into a giant bat with evasion and raised movement speed. Melee attacks steals health from the enemy.
• Energy Cast: 50
• Energy Toggle: 10 per second
• Damage: 100 (Power Strength)
• Attack Speed: 1.10
• Lifesteal: 25% of damage dealt (Power Strength)
• Evasion: 25%
• Movement: 20%
• Range: Self
• Duration: Toggle

Notes: Can use all abilities while in this form. Works in similar fashion to Titania's Razorwing, except you don't have ranged attacks.

 

Third Ability - Hemorrhage

• Description: Increases overall damage (weapons and abilities) while taking damage per second.
• Energy Cost: 0
• Health Cost: 5% max health per second. (Not affect by Power Efficiency)
• Damage increased: 50% (Power Strength)
• Range: Self
• Duration: 10 seconds (Power Duration)

Notes: Hemorrhage can potentially kill you. The longer the duration, more damage you will take, so beware.

 

Fourth Ability - Blood Salvo 

• Description: After a short delay, hurls blood projectiles in all directions. Enemies hit have health stolen, allies hit are healed.
• Energy cost: 0
• Health cost: 50% of current health (Power Efficiency)
• Damage: 1000 (Power Strength)
• Healing: 200 (Power Strength)
• Range: 30m (Power Range)

Notes: Projectiles have 3.0 punch through, and flight speed is the same as bows. It can hit enemies behind cover, but it misses on moving targets.

Does this mean max health or current health?

please explain this turning into a bat? also doesnt seem like a caster, more of a health stealer. If you are gonna go for a vampire type character, give him abilities like traveling in the shadows, increased senses( enemies and bullets slow down in a field around him), faster speed/melee speed, acrobatics boost final ability: makes enemies around him become allies and fight for him. When he loses health, they lose health, when they kill enemies, the killed ones also become allies with you. (no max on amound of allies) passive: I like the passive, kind of like nidus but with health orbs, also should be with amount of kills equals an extra life or revive

Turning into a bat is the same as Titania's Razorwing ability. When activated, you enter ARCHWING mode, where you can freely move around.

Caster is a role. Like wizards, sorceress, witchs, mages, warlocks, shamans, druids, et cetera. Vlad is a caster because he relies on his spells/abilities to work well.

 

As a vampire, he has the ability to drain blood from enemies, shapeshifting (bat form), thaumaturgy (Path of Blood - Blood of Potency) and "Blood bending".

You're right, there's many abilities I could've picked for him. But those are the ones I think fit my vision and design the best.

So the issue there is that with 200% duration or longer the ability is guaranteed to kill the player without healing. Maybe cap the total health drained to 50% of max?
