Ӿ THE WARLOCK Ӿ

Intro

----------------------

The Warlock class is inspired by my love for the Mythology of Burning Hells in Diablo 3 and

my love for the Warlock class in World of Warcraft. When I first came with the ideas for this class, the

skill trees were still a part of the game design. In this I imagined them to be dedicated to 3 “schools”

of demonic magic, each drawing power from one of the realms of Prime Evils: Mephisto, Baal and

Diablo. They would be called Hatred, Destruction and Terror.

The Warlock protagonist would master the power of demons to fight them with their own

weapons. His/hers arsenal would include demonic minions, devastating demonic spells and

ultimately 3 spells that would allow the Warlock to temporarily transform into a demon him/herself.

At that point in brainstorming, each of the demonic transformation spells was assigned as the

pinnacle, the last skill in its skill tree. Each skill tree also contained its own type of demons to

summon and its own destructive and buffing/de-buffing spells following the flavor of the Prime Evils.

Since then a lot of time has passed and Blizzard’s development of the game did away with

the Skill Tree system embracing a Skill Pool approach. This change inspired me to freshen-up my own

design of the class.

Personality and Appearance

----------------------

He is young, in his 20s, power hungry and arrogant but with a contemplative disposition. His

talent for the arts of arcane compliments his insatiable appetite for forbidden knowledge. In physical

appearance he is moderately tall, slender yet with a well developed physique. He exudes a sexual

charisma of a detached character who is none the less brimming with power. His complexion is paler

than usual. His hair and facial appearance wouldn’t be out of place in a punk-rock band. Basically

bald with a short irokez down the middle of the scalp. A scar slashing an eye and check completes the

dangerous look. To him all other people are expendable if it advances him on his unholy path of

development. Yet there are hints and glimpses of warmth in relation to others but it is a paradox, a

mystery even to him. Mostly what holds him from becoming prey to dark forces is his extraordinary

will and talent for magic.

Resource – Demonic Power

----------------------

Warlock’s resource is Demonic Power. Demonic Power pool is set at 100 by default. Demonic

Power replenishes at a rate of 10 per second by default. Both amounts can be further increased by

items and skills. Warlock can also siphon Demonic Power from demons and monsters with spells.

Spells

----------------------

The flavor of Warlock spells is made of such things:

conjuring hellfire, dark lightning, various elemental devastations and infernal metallic

contraptions;

manipulating shadow and blood magic;

afflicting enemies with debilitating effects and plagues;

manipulating spirits and the spectral realm;

fearing and mind controlling enemies;

siphoning life and power;

spawning and summoning demonic minions;

and ultimately transforming into a being of pure demonic might.
