    Kit Name
    Has the ability to give everyone within a 10 block radius blindness I for 5 seconds.

    How the kit works:
    The kit starts with a Diamond Shovel, When ever the player digs a grass or dirt block anything within a 10 block radius of the broken block get blindness for 5 seconds. The Shovels durability goes down depending on how many people were blinded. You can only blind up to 10 players before the shovel breaks and you have to either craft another shovel. The kit can use any shovel iron and above to do this. Iron has 2 uses, Gold has 4, and diamond has 10. (Note: The effect is stackable and does not effect this own user nor can he drop the diamond shovel.)

    Pros
    Use the blindness for a quick get away.
    Blind everyone at the feast to get into the chest.
    Shovels can be easily made.
    Trap possibilities.

    Cons
    No damage ability.
    You can accidentally use it and break your shovel at the start of the game.
    Can't use the kits shovels other than blinding people
    Terrible teaming kit because you can blind your team.



    Starting Items
    Diamond pickaxe
    Compass

    Cooldown
    None, the shovels all have uses




    Note: This kit was not my idea, it was made by a friend of mine "ItsBakersBoy"
    He didn't explain the kit too well to me and I had to fill in the gaps, Please
    Take in mind that I am open to discussion.

    I don't know if this kit would work that well considering blindness is pretty annoying, but I like the whole "smoke-screen and get away" idea behind this kit.

    It's interesting, I'd give it that.
    Also, would stone and wood shovels work? If so it would be very unbalanced as they are easily made.

    Well Helios is the Greek sun god, maybe instead of blindness make them have a seizure (wot)? I like the concept of this kit but I think that right click would better suit it.

    I like the kit! :grinning:
    Although, since you didn't mention any cooldown, I do see this kit being one of those pesky run away kits. For example, when you try and chase them they just their kit nonstop. Might need some revising!

    Oh, I almost forgot, I love the formatting!

    It's a nice kit, I think a name like "Smokescreen" stated above would suit it better.

    The shovels may be a bi too powerful in terms of uses, if someone managed to get their hands on two diamond shovels they could run for a LONG time. Maybe make it so you can only carry one shovel at once, might be a nice artificial cooldown.

    It has almost no combat use, I do see you point but the odds of getting two diamond shovels or a lot of shovels? it takes of inventory space and besides. Every person blinded is a use.

    Yes I understand. I think this kit is quite balanced for the most part, more balanced than some of the other kit ideas I have seen.

    I agree with what Viva says here, this is a smart way to deal with balancing the kit.
