Background
Origin: Sanctuary
Affiliation: None known
Friends: Necromancers, Witch Doctors
Foes: Necromancers, Witch Doctors, Paladins

In the past battles with Diablo and his Brethren, many righteous warriors have fallen. Many of such warriors were resurrected through the Prime Evils power and forced to fight for that which they despised. However, once the Prime Evils influence left the world of Sanctuary these fallen warriors were once again laid to rest.

But something has given rise to their slumber and they now walk the world once again. Only now their own will and memory are with them. What is the cause behind there rise? Will they be the noble warriors who have died, or embrace their powers of undeath?

King Leoric Could be one such Hollow men who embraced Undeath versus Redemption.

Class Design[edit source]

The playstyle of this character would mostly be like of a ghost. The most noticeable skill he would be able to do would be to possess his enemies and use them to fight their own brethren. He could also be a bit of a buffer that is able to project his auras onto his teammates. He could buff and debuff the enemies and use their own kind against each other.

He's more suited as a crowd control. Not crowd control in the typical mage nuker style. But more of trickery and distractions while doing his damage.


Skill Trees[edit source]

The hollow man has three types of power at his disposal:
