These perks are considering the massive SOLO QUEUE survivor nerf in the next update (take my comment with a grain of salt-I have not played the ptb myself-and i am relying on videos from the most skilled content creators and it looks rough).

These perks are a one time use and are extremely situational considering each perks prerequisite. if you try running more then one of these third chance perks the game will not let you. These perks are also an idea to work the obsession game mechanic. I feel like the obsession game mechanic has been hollow for a while and with the upcoming buff to killer with the perk rework i feel like maybemthey should make the obsession more meaningful. Like currently you can be the obsession one two criterions:

1) carrying any of laurie strodes perks.

2) playing against a killer who has obsession perks.

and depending on how many laurie strode perks a survivor is/is not running: a survivor is determined.

I feel like the game should add some sort of buff base game to whoever ends up STARTING the match as the obsession (one survivor who is slightly stronger then the rest in the match due to this buff), it adds a level of story telling-becomes this adds to the concept of a final girl/boy. How many obsession perks the survivor is carrying will determine the chances of becoming the obsession. starting the trial this also gives the killer information

1) this survivor will be the most problematic because of they have the obsession buff

2) this survivor might be problematic because of the number of obsession perks they are carrying compared to the other 3 survivors, which could be any of the following:

-laurie perks: Like DS

-any of my third chance perks listed below

-behavior can make BT, and DH, lucky break, off the record add on the obsession factor to these perks

These perks can be put on some sort of value tier where some of them count as 1/2/3 (3 being the strongest) points and depending on which survivor (based off of perk selection) has the highest score will be the obsession of the match on the rare occasion that there is a tie (if there is a 3 way tie 2 of the 3 will be chosen at random) one of the two will start the match with the obsession buff but both survivors will now gain a blood pact buff without having to carry blood pact.

the buff stays with the original survivor so that if they are killed in the match the buff no longer continues in the match. Due to this buff and how strong the survivor's build is (because of the prerequisite for becoming the obsession), the killer can focus on killing off the obsession first.

Calculated Feint :

flavor text: You are one step ahead and every move is calculated. you can sense what pitfalls will not cost you.

After repairing 4/3/2 generators this perk activates and removes 1 hook phase from your survivor. This perk increases your chances of being the obsession.

Survivor's luck:

flavor text: You are a survivalist, and every step forward is second nature. Whatever is to come-you'll handle it.

After a survivor has successfully remained hidden from the killer by means of countering a killer's aura reading perk AND ADD ON 5/4/3 times, this perk activates-removes one hook phase. This perk increases your chances of being the obsession.

Good Karma:

flavor text: As a healer: you live a blessed life, for no good deed goes unpunished.

After you have healed the equivalent of 5/4/3 survivors, this perk becomes active-removing one hook phase from your survivor. This perk increases your chances of being the obsession.

You should see the other guy:

Flavor text: As a stunt double you've done a lot of dangerous stunts-but have you faced off a killer yet?

After taking 5/4/3 protection hits or rescuing a survivor via pallet/flashlight/flashbang stun this perk activates removing one hook phase. This perk increases your chances of being the obsession.

first perk rewards focusing on gen repair.

second perk is the same result but different prerequisite. Perk can go to another survivlaist or a ninja/spy survivor (yes please) THIS PERK IS TO PROMOTE/TEACH NEW SURVIVORS HOW TO PLAY STEALTH. I am sick and tired of new entitled survivors doing two things.

1) Survivors not hiding while playing against (specifically) BBQ & chili, Dr, and using old spine chill or any other situation in which this shoe fits.

HIDE IN A LOCKER!!!! If this was not a mechanic that is supposed to be used in order to counter certain situations.

(and this one is not so bad because I understand new survivors are well, NEW and don't understand the game mechanics)

2) PUNISHING ME for playing stealth on extremely short matches because all the other (presumably new) survivors keep feeding the killer value on these situations. like damn if all survivors just hid in a locker 1) before dr does his shock blast, 2) before killer playing BBQ-hooks someone matches would be a whole hell of a lot longer because you are denying killer value of w.e they are using.

Before the last two most recent waves of new survivors DBD SOLO QUEUE survivor was not impossible. i would see survivors stop repairing generators (in case of scourge pain res) or hide in lockers for 9 sec (in case of BBQ) and matches with good killer would be kind of long because gen rushing would be diff with good killers but survivors were not dying super fast because solo survivors were not as impulsive.

but moving on...

Third perk promotes a healing play style. MORE BALNCE TO ALL 3 perks is it obviously takes up one perk slot if survivor gets value from this perk in the match or not.

piggy backing off of my grimoire perks for survivors mentioned in comments earlier.

Grimoire: Book of Occult Studies) has the following affects v. grimoire: BOOS goes on cool down between each use for 60/50/40 seconds

If cleansing/booning a dull totem perk Grimoire: BOOS changes to

Divination: Grants booning speed by 0.5/1/1.5 seconds but perk Icon gets a counter-counter goes up for every stack on specific hex totems (huntress lullaby, Devour hope, pentimento). In essence this will let the survivors know the killer is possibly using one of the previously mentioned perks)

or if cleansing/booning a hex totem Grimoire BOOS changes to

Channeling: Grants access to boon perks within 24 meter range of all dull totems (does not work when in range of hex totem). This affects only the survivor with channeling active. for 2/3/4 seconds

-channeling and divination use to be very valuable skills in Asian cultures.

Survivor

Blessings: Spirits bless you every time you put their soul to rest.

after cleansing/booning a totem; your scratch marks, grunts of pain, and pools of blood are hidden for 5/15/25 seconds and gives you one token. if hit by the killer within this time, grants enduring. only one token can be held at a time.

Resurrection: For every soul taken, the spirit of hope grows, and she blesses us.

For every 4/3/2 hooks stages the killer gains, survivor gains a token to rekindle a broken totem. Only one token can be held at a time.

trunk of curiosities: You are adapt in finding magical artifacts.

grants the ability to rummage through a max of 1/2/3 chests to find one of the following magical items.

1) gleaming gem-works like a flash bang

2) protection amulet-grants endurance

3) force field incantation-entity blocks the door way survivor uses the incantation on for 4/6/8 seconds.

These items are consumed upon use.

so I wanted to introduce a witchy game mechanic called grimoire perks. They are an empty slate; original perk icon is a book, but depending on what "spell" is activated the perk icon will change. Only one spell can be activated from the grimoire per trial depending on which action (booning a dull totem, cleansing/booning a hex totem; the second option yields the strongest spell.) the survivor took to activate one of three spells.

Grimoire: Book of Light) has the following affects v. Grimoire BOL

If booning a dull totem Grimoire: BOL changes to:

Long Distance Healing: Survivor can choose a fellow injured survivor within a 28 meter range to heal at 50% the normal healing speed. Must be uninterrupted in order for the heal to count. If for whatever reason LDH is interrupted (survivor stops to perform other actions, or run or hide) then the ability goes on cool down.

for the animation for this spell survivor puts index and middle fingers on their temples.

This spell cannot be used to heal self and does not stack with med kits, autodidact, boon: COH, no one left behind, we'll make it

This spell does stack with Resilience, empathic connection, or botany knowledge

and synergizes with solidarity.

OR if booning/cleansing a hex totem, Grimoire BOL changes to:

Dispel: Gain a token for every time you repair the equivalent of one whole generator or for every hex totem booned/cleansed (cannot stack tokens, 1 must be stored/consumed at a time).

Upon activation survivor can cleanse themself of a killer specific status effect such as plague-sickness, Freddy-sleep, nemesis-virus, PH-torment, Sadako-1 stack of condemned, Dr-maddness, deep wound, pin head-chain hunt.

-This is not witchcraft... Just old school medicine.

Grimoire: Book of Spirit) has the following affects v. grimoire:

If booning a dull totem Grimoire BOS changes to:

Portals: After booning any totem gain a token for using this spell. walk up to any boon and place portals on it (placing portals looks like the booning animation but at the cleansing speed). 20 seconds after a killer extinguishes a boon with portals activated on it, the extinguished boon transfers to a random dull totem in the trial. the token is consumed. this spell goes into cool down until the new booned totem is extinguished.

OR if booning/cleansing a hex totem, grimoire BOS changes to:

Residual energy: This perk becomes the active grimoire spell upon cleansing/booning a hex totem. Gain a token for every time you repair the equivalent of one whole generator or for every hex totem booned/cleansed for a maximum of 3 tokens.

1 token see auras of all totems within a 24 meter range

2 tokens see aura of killers belongings or items affected by killer power (traps=trapper, hag, freddy, PH; clowns smoke clouds; items affected by plague).

3 tokens see aura of killer.

^ all of which for 4 seconds and then perk goes on a cool down.

These seem a little OP but there is balance- these perks rely on having to boon totems in order to activate. totems can be difficult to find, take long to boon, and if other survivor already have booned totems up, survivor running these perks have no choice but to go out of their way to find one.

as for the high reward spell-not every killer runs hexes. the ones that do usually don't run more then 2. in desperation to remove hexed totems-fellow survivors might not care to wait for survivor running this perk to get their high reward. Hex totems in general take longer to cleanse and boon and are usually guarded by the killer. so I think that there is a lot of balance with these. ad they're kind of cool. it gives the survivor flexibility.

Spell perks are perks that can only be accessed by scavenging for the "spell ingredients". one spell "ingredient" is gained by cleansing a totem. the second ingredient is gained by siphoning the energy of the entity by siphoning a sacrificial hook. siphoning takes 2.5 seconds the equivalent of saboing a hook. if you siphon 2.5 seconds of one hook, the hook breaks. if you siphon 1.5 instead, the hook will break only after unhooking a survivor from that exact hook. Siphoning a hook will always alert the killer of that survivors location at the start of the siphoning action. The reason for this could be that the entity does not like having it's energy siphoned.

Spell: Phoenix) after cleansing a totem and siphoning the equivalent of a hook, gain a token. The next boon totem snuffed by the killer will consume the token and cause the blue flame of the totem to combust. this combustion will blind the killer but also destroy the boon totem in the process. the boon then reanimates on the spot of an already destroyed totem.

spell: wraith) after cleansing a totem and siphoning the equivalent of a hook, gain a token. Upon pressing the action button on your desired location you will draw a sigil on the ground. this sigil, creates the illusion of a crouching survivor at that location that is only visible to the killer when the killer is farther than 20 meters away. at 15-20 meters the illusion begins to look transparent. within 15 meters the illusion disappears entirely. the aura of this illusion will also be shown to the killer if using aura reading perks. if a killer walks up to the sigil, the killer can wipe the sigil in order to destroy the illusion. Upon destroying the illusion the perk goes on cool down for 150/125/100 seconds. this perk cannot be used again until the cool down from the first token in complete.

Boon: channeling) performing the following actions rewards the following stackable bonus to all bloodpoint gains:

-blessing a dull totem= 5%

-blessing a hexed totem=10%

-cleaning a dull totem=20%

-cleansing a hexed totem=25%

after all totems have been cleansed you see the aura of all destroyed totems, when within 16/20/24 meter range of the destroyed totem, you gain the use of all boon perks brought to the trial (including the ones brought by other survivors. the destroyed totem range will covered in a dark fog only visible to the survivor using this perk.

@snek said:
couldn't you crawl into it after he downed you?

No the first thing he did was close the hatch while I was on it. WHICH IS ANOTHER BIG COMPLAINT. why tf can survivors not jump in hatch when killer is standing on it (while it’s still open); but killers can close hatch even if survivor is standing right on it?
