New Race With New Skills

Scout (possible Sniper, whichever sounds better) - 8 levels/4 skills
=====================

1. Recon - chance to spawn with 100% invisibility and 200% speed boost (for 8 sec) and no weapons (24% chance for it to happen at max level), after 8 sec scout/usp/armor/knife will be given to the player

2. Marksmanship - your scout has a chance on hit to do extra damage (at max level 100% chance to do +20% damage, not quite enough for insta kill in most cases, but enough to do some serious damage)

3. Armory - chance to spawn with a scout, armor, and deagle but with slightly less cash (100% for scout, 100% for armor, 10% for deagle, and -$2000 at max level)

4. Hardcore Camper (Ultimate) - makes you partially invisible when not moving (aka camping) and with your scout currently equipped (80% at max level, after shooting theres a 2 sec cooldown, 3 sec cooldown after switching TO the scout)


recon lets the scout get to a good camping spot before anybody else arrives, on ct it would let them get to bombsite first, or get to an ambush spot for t's that are guarding hosties, for t it would let them get to bombsite first, or get to a good camping spot to get ct long before they reach hosties

marksmanship allows for chest shots (80 dmg) to do good damage (around 96) but not quite enough for a kill cept maybe at point blank.

armory allows the scout to spawn with their scout, armor, and small chance for deagle, at the cost of $2000, buying them seperate would run around $4000, so its like a price cut.

lastly hardcore camper allows the scout to improvise a camping spot, and get at least one kill (unless you suck hardcore (no offense)) while the cooldown stops the scout from running into the middle of the map and just own everybody (unless they are really good).

I think that it should be like pistoleer for the armory part, meaning that every round no matter what (doesn't even need a skill for it) you get a scout and a deagle or you can only can buy pistols and equipment. Also, I think that the recon should be 7 or 8 secs besides 5, because its not that easy to get far. They will probably get killed faster then you think since of the radar and spawning inside someone would cause difficulties...

Other than that, I think it's a cool idea

A guaranteed 60% damage bonus on a scout means that it will do anywhere from 90-130 damage on the torso, which given the fact that an awp does around 150 damage, makes it essentially an awp with the fastest move speed in the game.

I also don't understand the recon skill your suggesting- a player using a scout will more than likely want to be on defense (sniper rifles are not weapons for assaulting the other teams side of the map) so having this skill works against what a snipers strong point is. I really can't imagine that many maps where this would really be useful, as there's very little a player can do to accomplish any suitable sniping from a position that essentially is an assault, and it's more likely that players would use the skill as an opportunity to get knife kills or use a pistol.

The suggestion from another user about always having a deagle for free every round is going overboard.

I really like this idea of a race specifically dealing with the scout rifle, but it needs some more planning.

recon -- now that i think about it it is kinda stupid to spawn in enemy spawn, but i think it would be nice to have it for normal spawn, just so u can get to good spots on the map before anybody else.

marksmanship -- yeah 60% is too high, i was thinking that everybody was human, so in that respect it would be perfect, but forgot about normal people, so 20% would be better. making the total damage 72-96, at close range a chest shot might kill, but otherwise only insta kills would be hs.

armory -- i think it would be better so that at max level it gives you scout, armor, and a 10% chance of getting a deagle, but takes away $2000, I like this because unlike pistoleer, u don't just rack up money isntantly because all pistoleers have to buy is $1000 worth of armor every round, this would still be cheaper than buying scout and armor, so its really more of a price cutting skill than a free weapon giveaway.

gonna edit original to match this

You might as well just be a human or night elf imo, but I like the idea
