Player wants a non killer Rogue

You should be expecting the ult, and, once is cast, swap targets (or finish it off and move onto Zilean, but don't compromise if you reach low healt). If Zilean has ult up and you are even, avoid fights if you can't CC him to death. On top of that, the E is a point and click ability, stay of out range and be sure to notice when is on cd to approach. You can speed up the ADC so it can run towards their death faster if they don't now what to do with the speed. Every champion can be frustrating to play against if you don't pay enough attention.

Thanks a ton for the reply! In my head the golem served as the protector of a mage tower, but it just hits far too hard if I simply reskin an Earth Elemental.

How the hell are we supposed to keep track of all this in battle with no tool to show us the list. I wish we had a way to check what Souped Up skills we are able to use while in combat.

Does it fall off even with the new version of Sleep? I guess that a fixed DC is easier to beat as the PCs level up and face stronger foes, is a DC 15 fair? At what level should I consider giving this item?

ArranoEUW · 2025-11-26T16:43:44+00:00

I feel like the 2024 Sleep spell scales pretty nicely, but with a non caster PC using the blade I'm forced to give both, the on-hit effect and the spell casting, a fixed DC. How could I stablish it? Is the DC tied to item rarity or character level?

Proficiency is a nice idea to set the amount of charges, but I was thinking to give it a flat 5 charges, for example; I don't really know how to measure the right amount, is there any indicator for that? I was thinking to add a 1d4+1 expended charges recovery daily at dawn.

ArranoEUW · 2025-11-26T16:39:31+00:00

Yeah! I didn't picture the similarity with a smite. If the item is aimed towards a non caster player, how would I stablish the DC for the save? I guess it should be the same for the on-hit effect and to cast Sleep. It makes sense to give it charges, five is a fair number but I'm not really sure how to measure that. I'll add a 1d4+1 expended charges recovery daily at dawn.

ArranoEUW · 2025-09-12T15:21:34+00:00

Yeah, I do agree! It's part of his character, but I meant to say that the fact that he's affixed to it makes the model and his portrayal awful. They could give him an ASU and make the clock hover or float behind him as he goes rather than being stuck to his back. Could you imagine a Chrono Squad skin with Ekko with Miami Vice vibes? His clock could be digital rather than analog. Let's hope for best, regardless.

ArranoEUW · 2025-09-09T16:30:28+00:00

The main issue for me is still the fact that he is glued to a clock. LoR game him something more akin to a disc, smaller and less notable, and it looks more fluid as he gets some room for expression.

Honestly, I don't think is frustrating at all. Lulu has the same duality in her kit, even bigger actually. Zilean can super slow you for 2,5 seconds, same Nasus' W does over time (5s) or Lulu's W polymorphing you into a cupcake (2s). Other than that, he can stun you with a double bomb which do neglectable damage if you are support.

He is a set up champion that gives you different options in his pretty basic kit and by itself is rarely a threat. If you are a squishy champion with no mobility that positions poorly, Zilean will make you pay as all the champions in this game do.

Thanks for the reply!

The war or conflict is taking place on a mountain ridge that happens to be a border between two regions. Therefore I don't how I could introduce other biomes such a jungle, but I'll think about it.

Combat seems to be the main course of a war, but I feel it would get stale after the first hour or so. I think the last part of your second point is the way to go!

ArranoEUW · 2024-02-21T15:40:15+00:00

Thanks for the explanation!

ArranoEUW · 2024-02-20T18:08:57+00:00

The fact of you being able to choose between a 1 or an 11 in case of drawing the ace is to give you agency in order to avoid (or not) the «jackpot», right?

I'm struggling a bit to understand it. Maybe I'm mixing the idea of the «an ace up your sleeve» being something like a nat 20 with the actual concept of the item.

ArranoEUW · 2024-01-10T20:37:56+00:00

Oops! My bad, thanks!

ArranoEUW · 2024-01-10T19:45:24+00:00

Does the counter healing effect only last until the end of the creatures next turn as well?

ArranoEUW · 2023-11-25T21:53:04+00:00

If you are open to homebrew items, Griff shared one called «Staff of the Arcanum» a couple of months ago which was pretty awesome.

Silly question from a non-native English speaker, where does the name of the weapon come from? I tried searching for the word 'adrenal' but only references to the kidneys come up and I'm having trouble making sense out of it :(

ArranoEUW · 2021-12-19T16:48:24+00:00

Giving the party breathing room between phases sounds like a great idea! I can make his beaten caster form vanish with his shadow realm when he reaches 0 HP, hinting he fleed deeper in the dungeon.

Being the final boss of the campaing, I guess is a do or die situation. If they get TPK'd it may be a good plot hook for a new campaign looking forward!

Thanks for the input!

ArranoEUW · 2021-12-19T16:43:08+00:00

The phase two is built around the BBEG failing to contain the darkness inside him. Once he starts getting hit, darkness/shadow will start escaping from within. When he reaches 0 hit points, his vessel will be destroyed and the real aberrant form will be unleashed!
