Sage

Sage - Epilogue [Intelligence] {melee}        (based on  Sage - The Traveller by KnightSpector)

An entity of an unknown origin, Epilogue claims to be a Xel'Naga servant from a very distant galaxy that has come to assist the Raiders in their attempt to recover the ancient Xel'Naga artifacts. The Sage claims that he wishes to stop the cycle and insists on destroying the artifacts to prevent the return of the Xel'Naga and their hybrids. Many of the leaders of the Raiders are suspicious of the his motives, but he insists that he is sincere. He explained that he defected from the 'ultimate plans' of the Xel'Naga and has come to spare the creations that he came to love, the Zerg and Protoss. He proposes that the sibling races were meant to never merge because they differ greatly and the monstrosities that would result would be evil. The hybrids, he continued, would rampage across the universe and destroy everything, even the Terrans. The hybrids would show no mercy to those they find. The Sage proclaims that the Zerg are more merciful than the hybrids, for they may spare someone or infest them so that they may continue to exist, despite the monstrosity they become.

Epilogue is believed to be one of if not the last of his kind having served the Xel'naga along the side of Draconas at one time in the past. He roams throughout the universe as a being made of energy in a manifested form that looks similar to a drake. A Sage is a caster unit with massive energy and high shield points, though he has low hp (similar to an Archon in shield and hp structure). He may seem evil but his intentions are pure, as is his pure white form. He carries a white bladed staff, and is light on his feet, able to move and cast at an astounding speed.

1) Energy Javelin(single target mid range, pure damage, cannot be evaded) -  Epilogue throws an energy form of his staff at an enemy, the attack does equal damage to his base attack and steals mana.  The amount of mana that is returned to the Sage based on a percentage of the damage done.  Cooldown and mana return percentage increases with level.

2)  Conversion (coverts mana to shield) - The Sage converts some of his mana to replenish his shields. Low cooldown, replenish amount is based on the mana cost.

3) Coil (pb 360 aoe) - Epilogue moves forward slightly while spinning around with his staff then snapping back the other way, damaging all foes in his path.

4) Hardened Shields (passive) - Hardened Shields reduces incoming damage done to the Sage to a static amount. That amount decreases per level.

5) Phantasmal Ripple (single target melee stun that bounces) - The Sage summons a phantom staff that strikes a nearby target foe. The energy of the strike radiates outward, bouncing back and forth off of nearby enemies. (based on attack damage)

U) Cleansing Burst (pb 360 aoe purge) - Epilogue lets out a burst of energy that holds his form intact, purging all negative debuffs from nearby allies boosting their speed temporarily, and purging any positive buffs on nearby enemies slowing their speed temporarily.
