Should chainsaw/exposed hits reward extra?
Since some recent killers have gotten bonus brutality scores for using their power (ghostface, oni), should older killers get an update to have the same treatment?
For example, if a billy or leatherface downs with a chainsaw, should they receive an extra 500 brutality under "chainsaw hit" maybe similar to ghostface?
Or even if a survivor is insta downed with the exposed status the killer could be rewarded an extra 500 points like ghostface is.
I ask this with skepticism bc killers w/extra brutality points don't get deviousness simultaneously, and the lack of brutality can discourage killers from using their power every time. But I still think that adding extra points for insta downs wouldn't be too harmful.
What do you guys think?

For chainsaw i would say yes because it is a power ability that does it, for the survivor just being exposed, no because it's just you using your perk. Myers really needs the 500 extra points from exposed. you can double pip as myers and get under 20k points maybe under 15k.
Ah true. I agree heavily w/ the myers part. Maybe certain perks can offer an additional increase on exposed hits. For example, if a survivor with exposure from a perk like Make Your Choice is downed, instead of saying "Hit +300" it could instead say "Exposed hit +450" just to ease the lack of BP. But I guess that is also just a perk.
Using things like EW3, chainsaw or killing someone with a RBT should award extra BPs, downing with a chainsaw/EW3/etc should give as much BPs as getting 2 hits and the RBT should give the remaining hook states points so you dont lose points for bypassing actions because your power allows it.
For perks is another matter as someone said, you are using a perk not a power, perks dont give points unless is stated on them like BBQ or Thrill of the Hunt.
But piping and getting points are different things, some stuff that gives points does help getting better emblems but other point related things do not. What I mean is, giving Myers more points wont make him pip faster and changing the pip system for him wont give him more BPs either.
As for perks, I would say that extra BP is not a far fetched idea. Forced Penance offers 300 deviousness as a bonus hit score for handing out a protected hit.
Bloodpoints? Sure. OK. Rewarding people for using their power should be a thing. Not too sure about Hillbilly and Leatherface because they don't have a requirement for them to use their power.
Emblems though? No. You are doing HALF the chase, the therefore you deserve HALF the reward.
Anything that ends a chase quickly is ironically punishing to the killer, so yes. Even the Exposed status from perks.
Chainsaw, yes.
Exposed, no.
Oh yeah, I don't know why people are talking about emblems, this thread is only in regards to BP
Most of these discussions are focused on emblems, and how they 4k'd and only got Brutal Killer. Or how they should be given "double" for emblems to equal the difference.
