Trapper:

Agitation: Pickup a survivor on trap will boost ??? speed when carry that survivor, speed up ends when hook or drop survivor

Unnerving presence: Trapped survivor will be affected by status "shaky hands" for 2min. Shaky hands status: Skillcheck spawn more & smaller zone

Brutal strength: Any moment a survivor is trapped, you can kick Gen, pallet... ??? faster


Wraith:

Predator: can see scratch mark for longer time when cloaked

Bloodhound:

Shadowborm: increase PoV when cloaked


And so on

    This might be a bit complicated to balance, a lot of variable to account for.

    Many killer powers already have synergy with certain perks as it is. Doctor with Distressing, Plague with Thanatophobia, Oni with Nurses, etc.

    Ultimately, this is what Add-ons are for to begin with, I don't really see why perks need to do the same thing.

    That said, it would be nice to get some perks that activate via the killers 'Special Power' rather than the vast majority of perks that have things like "if a survivor is put into the dying state with a basic attack". Give us something that can be used on killers who primarily use their special.

    Well that could be a thing, maybe a good idea on the paper, but it can increase power gap between killers.

    I mean, look at Huntress' perks, then look at Nurse' perks. Huntress is a good killer, but her perks are... Well, they are really bad. But Nurse is a super strong killer, and her perks are very good (unless Thana, but hey, it combo very well with Nurse' Calling, and Sloppy), so the Nurse, who is omega strong, would get her base perks more powerful (so this combo would be more powerful too !).

    See what I mean ? It would make balancing killers more difficult than it already is currently

    Developers have said that they don't want perks to affect killer powers in any way if possible. Also I don't think it's a good idea to push people into using a set of 3 perks rather than letting them enjoy any build they want. If you want to buff killers, buff them directly and if you want to increase the usage of some perks, buff those directly as well.
