Launching around enemies with the power of EXPLOSIONS is fun enough, but what about launching yourself? Introducing The Rocket/Bomb-Jumper! Who needs Majestic Leap when you've got a rocket launcher and a bag full of bombs to sling around? KABOOM!
I decided to rewrite the hero idea I originally had into a concept kit separate from the character I had in mind, with some changes. I've also reformatted the text so it's (hopefully) easier to read. None of the listed values are final or balanced and are subject to change, so I encourage anyone to share their remarks, views, opinions and criticism, or ask me me any questions. Please do so, it really encourages me.
Ideally, I would like them to be WWII-era U.S. Army themed. And short like Rem, lol. If I have more ideas regarding art of my character idea, I'll update the original thread I made (viewable here). This thread is only for the kit so it can be judged separately.
Description: "Throw a grenade that bounces and rolls off the environment and enemies, exploding after a delay dealing Spirit Damage in an area and displacing enemies. Strength of the damage and displacement falls off with distance from the grenade. Can be held to channel the ability, reducing the explosion delay. When fully channeled, the thrown grenade explodes on impact."
Usage: Press [ability button 1] to ready a grenade and pull the pin, starting a channel. Press [ability button 1] again to throw the grenade at any time. The ability will be held at maximum channel.
Type: Cast with Channel (can activate early)

Description: "Throw a bomb that sticks to the environment and bounces off enemies on direct hits. Can be alt-cast to instantly detonate all deployed bombs, dealing Spirit Damage in an area, setting enemies on fire dealing additional Spirit Damage over time, and knocking them away. Strength of the damage and displacement falls off with distance from the bomb. Deployed bombs automatically detonate after a limited lifetime."
