Xhane Contest - Unique Perk Competition
One of the five individual competitions promoted by Xhane, the new Community Developer for Might&Magic. Similarly to Blizzardboy's thread you have to invent a new perk that will be unique for one of the eight existing factions in Heroes 5, top entry wins some of the clash of heroes figurines. This perk must be under one of the general skills rather than a racial or ultimate. All information concerning the perk must be given:
-The name of the perk
-The skill it is under and the prerequisites for it
-A detailed and clear description of the perk
Entries will be judged along the lines of both creativity and realism, good luck!

This is just a way to reward hc for being a faithful community.
notice that the events tend to be related to what we have been doing. (short stories, perk creation, map editor wizardry and ictc)
I might enter one of my favorite perks from the olden days when i made perks
Dark Chains - Destructive
Prereqs - Elemental Chains, Dark Renewal
When an elemental chain is successfully cast upon a unit a random curse spell from the hero's spellbook will also be cast on the unit. (the random casting uses the hero's mana.)

We are not the only ones, the French community received one as well. Haven't asked around if there are others but either way it is a nice gesture.

I introduce to you, a skill/perk combo that might be the LEAST popular ever.
Spellblade
Basic - When a hero attacks a random destructive spell (non-aoe) of 1st or 2nd circle that he has in his spellbook is cast on the target. The spell takes double the normal mana, but only does normal damage.
Advanced - A random Destructive spell (non aoe) of 3rd or 4th circle is cast on the target of the attack (as long as it is in the heroes spellbook). Acts like a 'random spell' imbue arrow, but for all hero types. However, the mana is 1.5x normal, and damage does not increase because of that.
Expert - A random destructive spell of the fifth circle (non-aoe) is cast on the target of the attack (as long as it is in the heroes spellbook). Normal mana consumption, normal damage, but the heroes turn comes along 25% faster then normal.

I think, there have been tons of good perks made, even outstanding ones. It's difficult to impossible to pick the best one of those I made wthin the competetion or find a new one that really shines. Instead I'll pick that one for entry I had the most FUN with creating (although that feeling wasn't shared); I still find the perk as such great, because it captures so much of the race and at the same time doesn't take things too seriously, while it introduces a whole new concept of "prerequisites".
PERK FOR BARBARIAN
Defense Is For Sissies
Skill: Attack
Prerequisites:
Basic Blood Rage, Memory of Our Blood, Advanced Attack, Battle Frenzy, NO LEVEL IN DEFENSE (Explanation: Should the Barbarian pick Basic Defense, the perk no longer has effect and becomes useless/isn't available for picking anymore.)
Effect:
If a Stronghold unit led by a Barbarian with this perk attacks, the unit MAY sacrifice its ability to retaliate for the upcoming round for another attack blow (like the Minotaur Guard), that does HALF (50%) of the regular damage. (After the normal attack is resolved, the unit gets a chance for another attack, that it may decline, keeping the retaliation.)
List of special effects for the Stronghold creatures:
1) Since Goblins do not retaliate anyway, this perk has no effect on them (no retaliation, no second attack blow).
2) Maulers get a THIRD blow (third blow doing half damage), Warmongers do double damage with their second blow (like they would with retaliation), so they will deal therefore full damage with their second blow.
3) Slayers and Executioners may get a third blow
4) Cyclopses get another blow, when they attack hand-to-hand, but not for Goblin-throwing).
This perk does effect only the following units:
1) All units with the ability Raging Blood
2) All units with the ability Enraged; the perk is effective only for actually Enraged units.
3) Wolves and all Wyvern types
4) Berserker and Battlerager

# Perk's name: warlock's nightmare (Stronghold only)
# Skill & prerequisites:
The perk is under --> "Shatter destruction" and it needs:
- "weaken destruction"
- "detain destruction"
- "might over magic"
- "Luck of the barbarian"
# Description:
Grants damage reduction of destructive spells cast against Barbarians. Spell reduction is calculated as follows: initial spell damage (after all resistance, protection etc are calculated) minus [the spellpower of the barbarian hero * hero's level] divided by 2. On top of that, every time that a destructive spell is used by the opponent and is reduced by the perk "warlock's nightmare" the Barbarian hero will lose an amount of mana calculated as follows. mana lost = spell dmg reduction divided by 40.
# Example:
Without any further parameters counted, the fireball deals a standard damage of 20+20*power in expert mastery. Let's consider that the power of the caster is 20 -> the final damage will be 20+20*20 = 420. If the defending Barbarian hero (level 20, power 10) has the perk "warlock's nightmare" the already reduced damage is calculated as 420 - (10*20)/2 = 320. The barbarian hero would lose 5 mana (spell dmg reduction divided by 40)

Mytical I have a couple of questions for your perk!
1) In basic level, if it drains more mana but has standard damage, why should anyone choose to cast it?
2) In advanced level, you know that there is only the chain lightning in this category as the other lvl 3-4 spells are aoe? What kind of randomness is that?
3) Why doesn't it drain mana against immune enemies? Not all factions have immune creatures and it would be a little unfair. Especially from the time that the aoe spells don't work!

Perk for Inferno
Under: Sorcery
Refined gating
All gated units becomes incorporeal for 1 turn upon summoning.
Prerequisites:
Primary/racial skill (Gating)
Sorcery - Magic Insight
Additional info: I thought that since the Inferno do summon their troops, they should be a bit insubstantial when they arrive from the gates of Sheogh. And in order to use that to your advantage, you would need some Magical insight and be able to cast the gating "spell" (I know it is a creature ability granted by the hero) quickly to, well, be able to use that. This would basically be like the dwarven rune applied by auto on any gated unit once. Could make the useful for blocking, soaking up retaliation and minimizing losses even more.

Hmm, I should have read rules more carefully. It says that cannot be under a racial...
Can I just put Gating as a requirement and put it under sorcery instead? If that would be in accordance with the rules.

Sure. Actually the first time around that's how I understood it, all advanced abilities in H5 that require prerequisites are under skills instead of racial.

I thought of it like some kind of 4th racial skill for some reason, but of course it makes sense to keep it as a normal general perk.
Oh and: FIXED

interesting competition.
Inspired by the cyclops' goblin throwing, the eccentric barbarian siege engineer Tecumseh developed a new strategy for Garuna's armies.
"Catapult Creature"
Units adjacent to the catapult can be loaded on and ejected to another tile on the battlefield. The units have parachutes(or none if they can fly/teleport) which they use near landing and cut the strings to get the drop on their opponents with "assault ability." (Unit goes next)
Requirements: Warmachines -> Catapult -> Catapult Creature
(Barbarian faction only)
The catapult now has a "Catapult Expert Team" that is alive and can be killed, although they do not attack other creatures. HP/Movement/Initiative/Defense:
Advanced War Machines: 1000/2 tiles/6/15
Expert War Machines: 1500/3 tiles/8/20
Note that catapulted units may be misfired and can take damage:
Advanced War Machines: 20% chance misfire
Expert War Machines: 10% chance misfire
Damage is 10-100 + .5 to 1.5% of unit stack health per tile travelled
Expert War Machines reduces this to 5-50 + .5 to 1% of unit stack health per tile travelled.
*If the army is assaulting a castle and catapulting over enemy walls, there is also a chance that the creatures will hit the castle wall , doing double damage and dropping them into the moat if there is one. Chance of this is: 8% Advanced and 4% Expert. This is in addition to regular misfire chances
Special Notes: Because the catapult unit is alive, it is subject to rage increases, morale, and is affected by divine guidance, word of the chief and orc chieftains ability. Therefore it can be used as a dark counter vs frenzy and to some degree puppet master. Blinded/Torpored creatures can be loaded on once the catapult unit is moved next to them and dumped one tile to take damage(they automatically take damage) and reawaken them.
Rage Levels/Bonuses are as follows:
Level 1: +1 movement, +2 initiative
Level 2: +5 defense, +1 shot
Level 3: +1 movement(additional), +1 shot(additional)
Of course the catapult can be used as usual to damage castle walls.

I have no idea what you're talking about Carcity
First of all - normal effect of Weakness = 4?.. ???
Weakness effect is measured in percentage so the actual value differs for every creature. It also has nothing to do with hero level.
