While perhaps these people may not qualify to us all as "heroes", what would we all be saying if the hostage had been killed? I'm afraid there simply isn't enough information in this post to qualify a definite answer. Does anyone have a link to a news article that contains more facts?

Reply to SERIOUS +Minion Health Items BUG (STILL NOT FIXED IN 1.2) in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

[quote who="CosMoe" reply="9" id="2356749"]The bug is actually much worse than I thought: Shamblers have a base health of 625 health. When you buy Hauberk (+200 health to Minions) and a Sigil (+100 health to Minions) and you make a Shambler, it is summoned with only 475(!) health. Less than its base health! Moreover its maximum health is only 775 instead of 925! Actually, minion health even depends on which order you equip the items! <br

Reply to Win/Loss ratios in Demigod Demigod Forums

That depends on how you define balance, really. Most multiplayer games assign balance according to how a character functions at the skill cap. As an example, Pyro's in TF2 are frequently used by newer players and can dominate public games, but are actually not deemed nearly as powerful as scouts, soldiers, and demomen, who can be absolutely destructive at the skill cap. The same can be said for endgame heroes in DotA (versus earlygame heroes). Another problem is that many people feel

I know it's a ripoff on DotA, but I think you just shouldn't be able to do anything other than move while invised without breaking the effect. I don't know if that's the original intent. Also, I think (as Neilo said), that having Skeleton Key as a consumable might be a better idea.

I...cannot seem to quote you. Dunno why. But Skeleton Key sounds rediculously powerful, as do Ashes of the Spiteful. Also, I'm fairly certain Mard's Hammer gives +40 damage, and isn't used by most players, which means Glorious Axe needs a buff. Other than that, looks good!
