Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

•Title: The Ringmaker
•Character: Sauron
•Franchise: Lord of the Rings
•Weapon: Dark Mace
•Speed: 4.6m/s
•Terror Radius: 40m

[Power] The One Ring
"After the One Ring's initial destruction, Sauron's impending end had come, but then...Fog shrouded Barad-Dur. The Flaming Eye was gone, but the Entity does not let true darkness like Sauron's fade easily."
The Ringmaker cannot be stunned, by any means, by a Survivor that does not possess a Ring of Power. Pallets thrown onto The Ringmaker, while not equipped with a Ring of Power, will break.

[Survivor Items: Rings of Power]
"Mimicry of the original rings gifted to mankind by Sauron. Promises of glory, but never without cost."
Rings of Power will spawn randomly inside of chests. Only 4 rings can be found per Trial, and 3 extra chests will spawn in the Trial.
Once equipped, a Ring of Power cannot be removed, and The Ringmaker gets a visual cue (location bubble).

~1. Ring of Undying
"The promise of power, under a heavy doom."
•You can fully recover from the dying state, and can heal yourself without a medkit, without any loss or gain to recovery or healing speeds. Whenever you heal yourself, or recover from the dying state, your aura is revealed to the Killer for 20 seconds. Self-healing inflicts Exposed for 60 seconds, self-recovery inflicts Broken for 60 seconds.
~2. Ring of the Fell Rider
"The promise of death on wings."
•You recover from Exhaustion immediately when you lose a health state, but every time you perform a vault action, your next vault becomes a stackable 3% slower, and only resets upon being hooked.
~3. Ring of the General
"The promise of blood and battle without end."
•Stunning the Killer by any means increases their stun timer by 2 seconds, but reveals your aura permanently while in chase.
~4. Ring of the High King
"The promise of the throne abandoned."
•You see the auras of all unfinished generators, and you repair generators 25% faster. If you finish a healing or unhooking action, you become Incapacitated and cannot repair generators for 60 seconds, but can still perform other actions. If you perform a cooperative repair action, the generator explodes, loses 15% of its current progress, and is blocked for 45 seconds.

[Killer Ability #1: Domination]
While in view of a Survivor, aim the One Ring at them to shatter that Survivor's will over time. Once their will is broken, that Survivor is forced to slowly walk towards The Ringmaker against their wishes. Possessing any Ring of Power increases the rate at which willpower is broken.
Survivors cannot interact with any map objects under Domination's effect, but can struggle to free themselves from The Ringmaker's influence. Possessing a Ring of Power makes struggling harder.

[Killer Ability #2: All-Seeing-Eye]
Every 60 seconds, The Ringmaker can channel the One Ring and reveal the auras of all Survivors equipped with a Ring of Power; he can then choose to teleport within a 16m proximity to a designated Survivor, or inflict aura Blindness and the Hindered (10%) effects for 60 seconds.
Survivors are shown the gaze of the flaming eye to warn them during the activation. The Ringmaker cannot attack while casting All-Seeing-Eye, and it cannot be canceled once casting begins.

[Killer Ability 3: Wraithflame Armor]
After performing a hook action, or after being stunned by any means, The Ringmaker's body sets itself alight in the dark flame of undeath. This lasts for 45 seconds by default. During this time, The Ringmaker can pass through dropped pallets to immediately destroy them, slowing himself briefly in the process.


Vaulting a window will light the window in wraithflame for 10 seconds, blocking it for Survivors, and being stunned by any means will burn the Survivor for one health state.
Wraithflame Armor deactivates immediately upon damaging a Survivor or breaking a pallet, and any lingering fire is extinguished. Activating either of All-Seeing-Eye's effects will deactivate Wraithflame Armor.

[PERKS]

Absolution
When you break a pallet, call upon the Entity to break all other dropped pallets within a 12/18/24 meter radius of that pallet. This perk has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Let Agony Flow
When a Survivor suffers a status effect inflicted by a Killer perk, increase the base duration of that status effect by 10/15/20 seconds.

When the Killer suffers from a status effect inflicted by a Survivor perk, reduce the duration by 25%

Hex: Eternal Rule
After kicking a generator, a Dull Totem becomes a Hex Totem, cursing all Survivors.

While this perk's Hex Totem(s) is active, the associated generator is blocked by the Entity and cannot be repaired. After 40/50/60 seconds have passed after activation, reveal the aura of the relevant Hex Totem to all Survivors.

    UPDATE:

    •Added Killer perk concepts to the character package. (Names are generic, as I focused more on the effects.)

    •Added more contingencies to Ghostflame Armor (renamed to Wraithflame Armor) to ensure it's more in-line with gameplay standards and not as oppressive as before.

    •Added more images of the ideal Sauron design for DBD, screenshotted from the Middle-Earth games, to further provide context.

    Mod Request:

    Apologies, I was unaware of the "Creations" forum page. If any mods see this, I'm requesting to have this post moved there instead. Thank you ❤

    Amazon has already mistreated the license enough, we don't need to make it worse
