Either A New Killer Perk, Or A Tinkerer Rework
Can't think of a name for this one either, so i'll just call it Tinkerer for now.
Tinkerer - reworked
When given the prompt to "DESTROY" a Pallet, you are also given the prompt to "DAMAGE" it instead.
When you "DAMAGE" a Pallet, it plays the same animation as when you "DESTROY" a Pallet, but instead of the Pallet being destroyed, the Pallet now looks visibly damaged and still blocks the way.
You can still decide to "DESTROY" it at this point.
When a Survivor vaults over this Pallet, it damages them for 1 Health State and the Pallet automatically breaks.
Survivors who vault a damaged Pallet are granted the sprint burst they always get from being hit.
Destroying damaged Pallets is 20% / 30% / 40% faster. (These numbers aren't set in stone obviously, can be changed if necessary. @AhoyWolf made some neato suggestions.)

Could give Survivors the post-hit speed boost, instead of giving it a token system, also will the damaged pallets be faster to kick?
What happens if someone Any Means Necessary's it?
Also, seems interesting, but definitely a lot of changing mechanics for a perk. Maybe make it a mechanic that can be used x amount of times in a round or with a cooldown? Possibly add in abilities that are unlocked from each killer, similar to a perk but like an alternate power that can be applied to any killer once unlocked.
Guess it wouldn't hurt to have AMN be able to take a pulled-down, damaged Pallet and be able to put it upright again, to use later for a stun.
Oooo! But if you do that, no matter if you successfully stun the Killer or not, the damaged Pallet can't take the force of being pulled down and completely breaks upon landing.
I mean sure, this is quite the mechanic change, but so were Obsession Perks & Hex Perks.
If it was standard, that'd be cool as well, but i think of it as a Perk for now.
Both good ideas, i'll add them and give credit.
Can you imagine this Perk on Wraith, with Brutal Strength & Fire Up with 5 Tokens, the 2 "Shadow Dance" Add-ons AND with that faster-kick idea of yours?
I forgot i had to add something to make Perk levels different, so breaking speed on damaged Pallets is perfect for that.
Thank you!
That would be hilarious! And kinda scary...
