Denethor - 1200
Rank 1: Gaze into the Palantir
Allows Denethor to rank up.
Rank 1 to 3 - 300
Rank 3 to 6 - 300
Rank 6 to 10 – 300
Every time he does this, nearby troops gain experience but have reduced fear resistance and are slightly slower temporarily. Aragorn, Gandalf, Pippin and Faramir are slightly weakened. The amount that they are weakened by will increase with every rank up.
Rank 1: High Authority
Denethor perceives what happens in the minds of men and his will is still strong. All nearby heroes have increased ability cooldowns in Denethor’s presence (passive).
Activate to command target units to flee for their lives (will affect allies too).
OR
All nearby leaderships are temporarily cancelled in Denethor’s presence (will affect allies and enemies)
Rank 3: Guards of the Citadel
Permanently summons a battalion of Citadel Guards.
At rank 6, summons an additional battalion
At rank 10, summons an additional battalion
Rank 6: Service of the Steward
Denethor trusts those who serve only him in the war against Sauron. Target hero is appointed to do a task by Denethor. They gain +30% damage and armour but have reduced xp gain and all other allied heroes have -10% armour and damage for this time.
Rank 10: Fey Lord
If Denethor has less than 5% health, he lights a fire around himself before he dies (passive). Activate to grant him and his guards bonus damage, but they will be slowly damaged in this time.
Winds of the Sea/Winds of Hope (replacement for Denethor summon) - target troops have increased speed, while enemy leadership is cancelled in the area (if you go for the anti-leadership ability for Denethor, then this bonus could be changed).
The idea was from how a few characters noted how the wind was changing during the Siege of Gondor to come from the sea, which then allowed Aragorn to arrive in time and Sauron's clouds to be swept away.
Ambush (replacement for Arrow Volley in spellbook) - a trap is placed on the ground and is stealthed. If an enemy units steps on the trap, they will be slowed down/stunned for a few seconds, while rangers appear around them to fire at the trapped units.
