Harlequin Profession(Discussion)

Atributes

The primary atribute of this profession is to Distract. It is the ability to interrupt spells of adjacent targets whenever the profession enters a stance. This profession also has the ability to Mimic any skill it pleases by using its touch atributes or through a stance. For example, Imitate: You cannot move when you use this stance for 5-20 secs. While in this stance you can counter your oponenents attaks with its same skill but the higher your Mimic atribute is, the higher damage that is countered. This profession can also use Trickery which has the ability to make your doubles last 5% longer per rank and evry three ranks increasses your doubles by one 60 sec's max. The drawback of using doubles is that when you get hit while on this skill type you take triple the damage and you suffer from exhaustion but your doubles have the ability to use the same attaks you use and cannot take damage and can aggro any target you desire this skill is an enchantment type. Your final atribute is Laugh this atribute is the spell casting/shout using ability of the Harlequin profession it is asociated with hexing/shout's in that it reduces effectiveness of your enemy by making them more vulnerable to damage so they instead take double or triple the damage while on any of its hexes the draw bak is that these spells are only effective at half the distance of the reguular spells. Now as for shouts they can only affect your doubles and other harlequins the attack rate you and your doubles and any other harlequin for example Get Phsycho would be the name of such a skill. Try to include examples and be as clear as you can.


Apearance

The picture I get when thinking of a harlequin looks like a Jester based from medieval Europe. Just give it a more pshycotic look and thats wht Id expect the weird hat the tights just make the make up look more obscene or you can make the make up optional and make it a mask instaed alow the player to decide between the two in charactr creation if you guys want you can add a look that looks alot like that guy from Slipknot with the Mask with a very huge and pointy nose nose or any one from that group they all got some very neat masks and thats about it.
