negative percent damage modifier

[Bauf]

Are there any abilities i can add to a unit that can decrease its damage by a negative percent?
It can't use a buff or take up an icon slot.

I'm pretty sure I have seen an ability like that, but I'm not on WE atm, so I'll give you another solution:

Copy and paste that unit. On the unit, decrease the damage and make sure you add a Techtree - Editor Suffix to distinguish between the decreased one and the original one.

Then, use this trigger:

Ability
   Events
      Unit - A unit Starts an effect of an ability
   Conditions
      (Ability being cast) Equals to [COLOR="Red"](Your ability)[/COLOR]
   Actions
      Set playerNumber = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering Unit)))
      // Setting the items.
      Set itemOne[playerNumber] = (Item carried by (Triggering Unit) in slot 1)
      Set itemTwo[playerNumber] = (Item carried by (Triggering Unit) in slot 2)
      Set itemThree[playerNumber] = (Item carried by (Triggering Unit) in slot 3)
      Set itemFour[playerNumber] = (Item carried by (Triggering Unit) in slot 4)
      Set itemFive[playerNumber] = (Item carried by (Triggering Unit) in slot 5)
      Set itemSix[playerNumber] = (Item carried by (Triggering Unit) in slot 6)
      // Setting the Hero Level.
      Set HeroLevel[playerNumber] = (Hero-level of (Triggering Unit)
      // Replacing original with decreased.
      Set tmpPoint = (Position of (Triggering Unit))
      Set Facing = (Facing of (Triggering Unit))
      Unit - Remove (Triggering Unit) from the game
      Unit - Create 1 [COLOR="red"](Unit with Editor Suffix)[/COLOR] for (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) at tmpPoint facing Facing
      Set decreased = (Last created unit)
      Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tmpPoint )
      Selection - Add to selection decreased for (Owner of (Triggering Unit))
      // Giving the items back.
      Hero - Create itemOne[playerNumber] for decreased
      Hero - Create itemTwo[playerNumber] for decreased
      Hero - Create itemThree[playerNumber] for decreased
      Hero - Create itemFour[playerNumber] for decreased
      Hero - Create itemFive[playerNumber] for decreased
      Hero - Create itemSix[playerNumber] for decreased
      // Giving the hero-level back.
      Hero - Level up decreased to HeroLevel[playerNumber], Hide revival graphics
      Wait [COLOR="red"](Value)[/COLOR] seconds
      // Setting the items that decreased has
      Set itemOne[playerNumber] = (Item carried by decreased in slot 1)
      Set itemTwo[playerNumber] = (Item carried by decreased in slot 2)
      Set itemThree[playerNumber] = (Item carried by decreased in slot 3)
      Set itemFour[playerNumber] = (Item carried by decreased in slot 4)
      Set itemFive[playerNumber] = (Item carried by decreased in slot 5)
      Set itemSix[playerNumber] = (Item carried by decreased in slot 6)
      // Setting the hero-level decreased has.
      Set HeroLevel[playerNumber] = (Hero-level of decreased
      Set tmpPoint = (Position of decreased)
      Set Facing = (Facing of decreased)
      Unit - Remove decreased from the game
      Unit - Create 1 [COLOR="red"](Original Unit)[/COLOR] for (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) at tmpPoint facing Facing
      Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tmpPoint )
      // Giving the items back for original
      Hero - Create itemOne[playerNumber] for (Last created unit)
      Hero - Create itemTwo[playerNumber] for (Last created unit)
      Hero - Create itemThree[playerNumber] for (Last created unit)
      Hero - Create itemFour[playerNumber] for (Last created unit)
      Hero - Create itemFive[playerNumber] for (Last created unit)
      Hero - Create itemSix[playerNumber] for (Last created unit)
      // Giving the hero-level back to original
      Hero - Level up (Last created unit) to HeroLevel[playerNumber], Hide revival graphics

Change those in red to your liking.

Another way of doing it is to use a trigger and take away the strength of the hero, and since the Health depends on the Strength, add back the health by using a Max-Health changing ability.
