Jigsaw's Baptism Buffs & QOL Improvements - Ultimate Concept (Dev's read pretty please)
I hope this gets more attention than it did on my Reddit account r/letmethefrickIN because this concept has literally been at least a year to fully complete. I have been trying to come up with the best changes for The Pig and after tons and TONS of concepts that I've posted to my Reddit account, here is my 100% finalized version. I hope anyone that takes the time to read this enjoys because I basically had to learn all the ins and outs of The Pig's Power to come up with a better, but not overpowered Pig.
POWER CHANGES
REVERSE BEAR TRAPS
• You must hold the Power Button to set a Reverse Bear Trap upon a Survivor, instead of just tapping.
• Decrease the time it takes to set a Reverse Bear Trap to 3 seconds, down from 3.3 seconds.
• When a Survivors Reverse Bear Trap's Death Timer is paused, the Death Timer icon (Indicated by their Status Icon) will appear yellow instead of white.
• Jigsaw Box auras will only be revealed to Survivors wearing an active Reverse Bear Trap.
• The first Jigsaw Box a Survivor searches will never contain the correct key to remove their Reverse Bear Trap.
• When a Survivors Reverse Bear Trap Death Timer reaches 0, their aura is revealed to all Survivors until the Reverse Bear Trap Death animation finishes.
• When a Survivors Reverse Bear Trap reaches 0, instead of the trap immediately triggering, the Survivor will panic and attempt to remove their Reverse Bear Trap just before it triggers.
• When a Survivors Reverse Bear Trap triggers, their location is revealed to the Killer.
• Survivors mouths will appear unnaturally wide open as of a result from a triggered Reverse Bear Trap.
• Once a Survivor has fallen to the ground and died from their Reverse Bear Trap, the Survivor's Status Icon will be replaced with the died icon.
• When a Survivor dies from a Reverse Bear Trap and their body has already fallen to the ground, their body will disappear to signifiy their return to the Campfire.
CROUCHING (SKULKING)
• The crouch and stand action is replaced with the Skulk and Stop Skulking action.
• Skulking is similar to crouching, but you no longer crouch, your movement speed is no longer decreased but increased by 10% and you gain Undetectable at the beginning of the Skulk transition.
• The time it takes to fully begin Skulking and stop Skulking (Previously Crouch and Stand) is decreased to 1 second.
• The Skulking (Formally crouch & stand) transition animation is reworked to account for the above changes.
• A new (Louder) SFX will play while in the Skulking transition animation.
AMBUSH DASH
• The Pig's Ambush Dash SFX now plays after fully charging your Ambush Dash, instead of during.
• When charging your Ambush Dash, The Pig preforms a new animation and a new (Quieter) SFX plays.
• Ambush attacks trigger and grant Tokens towards The Third Seal, Franklin's Demise, Remember Me, Dark Devotion, Surge, & Sloppy Butcher (The perks descriptions will be updated to reflect this exception).
BLOODPOINT CHANGES
DEVIOUSNESS
• REVERSE BEAR TRAP SET: +500 BP
Previously called the TRAP SET Score Event.
• SURPRISE ATTACK: +500 BP
Previously only gainible while playing as The Wraith; Gained when either successfully preforming an Ambush attack or when successfully preforming a Basic attack shortly after you stop Skulking.
• DEATH TIMER DURATION: +750 BP incremental
New Score Event. Gain +5 BP for every 1% a Survivors Reverse Bear Trap Death Timer progresses. These points are awarded when either the Survivor removes their trap or dies from it. This idea was inspired by Reddit user u/starlitepony.
• GAME OVER: +1000 BP
Previously a Sacrifice Score Event.
BRUTALLY
• AMBUSH ATTACK: +500 BP
Previously a Deviousness Score Event.
SACRIFICE
• DEATH: +1000 BP
Previously called the KILL Score Event and it wasn't awarded upon Reverse Bear Trap kills.

I agree with everything, except the ambush token synergy. No STBFL on Pig? No fun.

I do like some of the changes here, but the the crouch and dash doesn't need a change really. It makes her second ability to be ghostfaces but with a dash, survs can't break you out, and increased movement speed. The addon changes look alright, but the ruleset one is just going to be not viable since anyone knowing you're running it will just immediately take off the helmet without worrying of it blowing they're heads off.

Ya I understand, I like being able to keep my 8 Token by Ambush attacking too, but I figure if I'm going to rope Ambush attacks with Basic attacks, I kinda need to be fair and include all perks, not just the ones that IMO are unfairly excluded from Ambush attacks like Franklin's Demise and Sloppy Butcher.

I thought about the Night Shroud similarities to Skulking too, but I didn't change it because I feel the whole Reveal aspect of Night Shroud mostly exists to counteract Ghost Face's Stalk. With the movement speed increases I gave Skulking, it's actually mechanicly more similar to Wailing Bells cloak than Night Shroud, except she isn't almost completely invisible.
Also Rule Set No. 2, just like the Reverse Bear Traps, ia a lot less about actually killing Survivors, but wasting their time. But with Rule Set No. 2, not only can you never see Jigsaw Box auras, but you also are never sure exactly how close to death you are, which could add another level of fear.

Yeah, kinda like Myers don't just stop synergising with perks when he hits T3.

Facts.
Though I understand why the Dev's have added distinctions between Basic and other attacks, because Feral Frenzy and Hunting Hatchet attacks are very different from Basic attacks, but Ambush and Pounce attacks are much more similar to Basic attacks than something like a Chainsaw attack. I just feel like a simple line in perk descriptions specifying the exceptions would work fine.
