30) The Doorman

The Doorman is a mysterious figure who claims to be a "fledgling god". What was meant to be a short stay turned into a permanent role as an attendant at The Baroness Hotel. He is fascinated by the oddities of human beings in New York.

The Doorman has the following abilities:

• Call Bell: Throw out a call bell that deals spirit damage on impact. After a short delay, it explodes, dealing additional spirit damage and causing affected enemies to suffer reduced weapon accuracy and movement. (Cooldown time is 18s)
• Doorway: Place two connected doors in the world. Players and most projectiles entering one door will exit out through the other. The doors will close at the end of the duration, or if the ability is activated again. (Cooldown time is 40s)
• Luggage Cart: Send out a luggage Cart that deals spirit damage and pulls enemy heroes along its path. It can also be cast to target friendly heroes instead. (Cooldown time is 30s)
• Hotel Guest: Send the target's physical body to be a guest at the Baroness Hotel. The guest is to promptly make their way to the exit elevator, where they'll be sent back to their original position. A stay at the Baroness Hotel is paid for in spirit damage. Failure to check out on time costs additional spirit damage. (Cooldown time is 120s)
