The game needs an undead healer, and a unique unit!

This character can fill both slots, and be a formidable force to be reckoned with!

[makazuwr32]

I don't like 3 things:
1. Speed 2. Raise to 3.
2. Regeneration 50%. Replace with "Death coil" spell: can heal undeads (only) for 20 hp.
3. Remove bonus to heroes.

[Lynx Shafir]

If u want a healer support may not an unique unit is the answer.
But
Without reference to this. There will be cultists for healing.
So should compre it's abilities with em.(cheap and ready to sacrifice )

2)For a priest" has high attack with strange bonuses.

3)lifelink self or ally?
(blood knight will have it as Aura)

[StormSaint373]

Can't really change speed and feel good about it. Most undead who are spellcasters are slow.

He is not to be a "fire and forget".

He is the undead equivalent of a human warmage.

His powers should be prized, and not easily cast aside.

Lifelink will be optional for self and others, That's why there is a range...

Edited!

[StormSaint373]

Removed Aura of Dread, instead applied poison...

He is around Cadavers... A lot! Especially if he is raising zombies.

[makazuwr32]

Uhm. There can be only 1 on-hit effect appliable. Either poison or fear in this case.

[StormSaint373]

Poison it is!

Being around Diseased Undead, he is likely to be a carrier.

[makazuwr32]

Maybe not a regular poison?
What about Disease/Plague - more potent potion variant, upon death of unit appled to other units in range 2?

deals 10 damage/turn for 4 turns.

[StormSaint373]

Wouldn't that be OPd?

He already has an arsenal of spells, decent martial prowess, and healing for him and other undead...

But, if not, I will edit. I like the idea.

[makazuwr32]

Remember that effect is applied on hit, can be healed or disenchanted and will affect only living units.
And this caster has only melee range.

[StormSaint373]

Edited name! Over looked stats and thought it sounded better for this unit.

[StormSaint373]

Finished images! Pick one and enjoy!

Personally, I like #2. . .

Great #2 indeed looks good

[StormSaint373]

Edited Spells, again

[Lynx Shafir]

Skills need still cool down.
For a converter is pretty strong.
Counting 2 actions!!!

[General Brave]

I prefer the first one with the second one hammer.

1. Don't need it, with limited action / turn, there will be no need. He will fill roles, but strategy is required to determine what to do with the Plague Priest in different situations or he will die. Not to mention, the cost requirements to recruit him.
3. Fixed! Forgot I had it that way when working.

[StormSaint373]

So, skeleton with bone club or hooded with flanged mace?

[makazuwr32]

Hooded as for me is better.

[StormSaint373]

So, you're number 2?

NOT poop either!

[StormSaint373]

I'll make changes, skeleton with bone mace!

[StormSaint373]

Done!

[StormSaint373]

What is next?

[General Brave]

Call for alexander.

@Alexander82, it is finished. Ready for review to be implemented/voted on.

[StormSaint373]

Can this be put on ready list?

[Savra]

Added.

[Lynx Shafir]

Actually I don't think it's ready.

1.if Plague - than plague weapon - applies plague - on death infects nearby units
10dmg/turn for 4 turn don't stack
can be healed - can't be Disenchant

I think 5 is good as planned for this effect/poison variant.

2.two units will get lifelink castable
Witch and Blood knight - both can go at dark altar.
So better remove.

3.zombie raise
We are revamping all Zombie group.
Will get 2 who can raise.

4.rotten? Same as troll Shaman?
5.not sure about conversion for this...

6.can reduce cost to 5 and add only crypt/Barrow
Because
phantoms will get stronger units for 4 cost
Spertral rider(same place) and 3 giants 6 cost(so bonuses similar as yours, full counter on flying)
Armor and hp - maybe won't be favored if keep it so.

7.
Speed 3 ,1water (mellee needs better movement)
Spell res to 60%


8.Healing can be "dark Healc tipe - so affects only undead (may damages living so can get 2 in one) For 15 hp
As planned for cultists
And the inverse of this for holy units.

9.eat up corps as usual
