The Babadook - New Killer Idea

HoHoJoe

Lore: The Babadook is an ancient being that preys on the fear and denial of those who dare provoke him. This being manifests itself in a ghostly black trench coat and top hat. Its unnaturally long arms and fingers are pinned to its side, all while his unwavering smile and stare pierce your soul.

If its in a word, or if its in a look, you cant get rid of the Babadook...

Killer Power (In The Shadows/Shed Disguise): The babadook can blend itself perfectly into the shadows, remaining undetected, waiting for the perfect moment to manifest its true form, and inflict terror upon those who he wishes. Press the Crouch button to reduce your terror radius to 0, and blend into your surroundings as a shadow, the shadow of the Babadook can be seen on the ground, indicating his position to the survivors. During this time, your FOV is increased by 30%, and you are unable to move, or attack until you press the Crouch button again, which takes you out of the shadows. Survivors can also take you out of the shadows by looking at you (from a distance of 16 meters or closer) for 2.75 seconds, which stuns you for 3 seconds, and you can not use In The Shadows goes on cool-down. While In The Shadows is active, you can press the Activate Ability button to lunge from the shadows at a survivor, and shed your disguise, revealing your true hideous form with a terrifying screech. If you lunge within 4 meters of a survivor, they yell in terror, revealing their location for 2 seconds, and they suffer from the Exposed, and Exhausted status effect for 20 seconds. In The Shadows has a cool-down of 30 seconds.

Terror Radius: 24 Meters. The Terror Radius is the Babadook theme:

Basic Attack: The Babadook lashes out with his claws, inflicting a brutal strike

Perks:

Omnipotent Darkness: Whenever a survivor fails a skill check, they hear your terror radius start from 24/16/12 meters, and increases until its as if you were right next to them.

Failure and Denial awakens its presence...

Denial: Whenever you are stunned by a pallet, perk or blinded by a flashlight, gain a token. For each token you have, gain a token. At 3 or more tokens gain a 2/3/4 terror radius reduction. At 5 or more tokens increase your movement speed by 1%/2%/3% and reduce the duration of stuns by 5%/8%/12% (pallet drops and perks). At 8 or more tokens, survivors suffer from the Hindered status effect for 2/3/4 seconds after stunning you with a pallet or perk.

"Ill wager with you, Ill make you a bet, the more you deny, the stronger I get..."

Lasting Horrors: All survivors recover from the Blindness, Broken, Exhausted, Exposed, Hindered, Hemorrhage, Mangled, and Oblivious status effects 10%/15%/20% slower

"And once you see whats underneath, you'll wish you were DEAD."

I'm guessing unlike GF, Babadook wouldn't be notified when he is about to be revealed from the Shadows?

Creo que pusiste muchas ventajas en la segunda Perk y debería haber un modo de gastar esas fichas por ejemplo atacar a un superviviente menos 2 fichas si no estaría bastante roto.
