Augustus

By:
Last Updated:

Augustus is an undead vendor located in Terrordale, outside the ruined city of Stratholme. Everyone who's ever been in the plaguelands knows who he is. He constantly yells how insane his prices are. His quests indicate sympathy for pigs and his need for his receipt book.

"People I can forget about, but the bad pigs still make me sad."
"I cry for the poor pigs."
"I see them! Can you? The little pig spirits, on their way to the great sty in the sky..."

He sells only mushrooms and "Crazy Grab Bags" filled with mediocre loot. But before he can do business, one must find his receipt book.

Try not to look him directly in the eyes... well I don't know what happens if you do but just to be safe don't do it.

Combat Trait

Receipt Book

Augustus must find his receipt book before his trait can be activated. The location is randomly generated within the map. Everyone can see the book and it may be pinged, but only Augustus may pick it up. (Similar to capturing an objective, like a tribute.) When the book is found, he has access to his trait.

Whenever Augustus participates in a take down, he inscribes the transaction, increasing his spell power by X% per take down.

His attacks become ranged, throwing blank pages from his book.

(Maybe add a mechanic that pings when an allied hero sees it, or give him a "getting warmer" indicator.)

Primary Abilities

Fungus Vendor

Throw a mushroom to an allied hero, healing them.

***Types of mushrooms may be chosen at first talent tier.
-Heal over time mushrooms
-Large burst heal mushrooms
-Moderate heal + movement speed

Touched

Augustus touches an allied hero, granting them X spell armor and allowing them to move through units for X seconds.

Crazy Grab Bag

Throw a crazy grab bag dealing X poison damage. If it hits one hero it stuns them for X seconds. If two or more heroes are hit, slows all enemy heroes hit and reduce the cooldown by X seconds per hero hit. The more heroes hit, the higher the poison damage.

Secondary Abilities

Talent: Magic Mushroom

Cleanse an allied hero, becoming Unstoppable for 1.5 seconds. Enemy heroes hit by Crazy Grab Bags reduce this cooldown.

Heroic Abilities

Swine Time

Release a plagued pig that locks onto the first hero within range. The pig gives vision and when the pig reaches it's target, it attempts to drag the hero to Augustus. Lasts X seconds.

NO REFUNDS!

Augustus takes a stance of that of a cornered animal. After X seconds the nearest hero looking in Augustus' direction is pounced and mauled for X seconds dealing %hp damage and rooting them. Augustus is untargetable, but is still susceptible to AoE attacks and stuns.

Playstyle

Augustus is a late game scaling support. His early game may be spent looking for his receipt book, located somewhere within the fog of war, but outside of main base walls. It has no map icon, but allies and enemies may ping it. Until he has found it he is a melee support, however, his attacks become ranged when he has acquired it. His late game scaling is dependent on him finding it. Once found it may be captured similar to a tribute.
