Killer concept: The Witch

Gertrude McDowell. The name of a legend tells within the depths of the rural country. One of a decrepit woman that feasts on the blood of whoever roams the wilderness alone. Through spells and sorcery, villagers would disappear without a trace. Through her wicked poisons, those affected were left tormented for days on end. Some vomited blood until they heeled over. Others went blind or deaf. Many lost their minds from inhaling its stench. The luckiest simply bled to death a few minutes after. No matter how many times one escapes, her hunger will never be sated. In the rampant night the screams of men and women could be heard, followed by the haunting cackle of a monster far beyond the scope of humanity. Alongside her poison, she carried a sacrificial dagger, to sacrifice her victims to the unhloy lord. Tired of living in fear, nearby villagers banded together and the night of her capture was at hand. Burning alive in flames of the stake, her final cries for their blood were heard. Despite her body scorched and lacerated, she remains a petrifying tall tale for those that roam the fog.

Her power is Witches Brew: 3 bottles of a swapmish green tonic concocted with her magic tomes. Hitting a survivor with a brew will give a random effect (Blindness, Oblivious, Madness, Mangled, etc.) for 30 seconds. (Can be altered with addons)

Plague of Punishment: The killer gains an obsession. Whenever the obsession fails a skill check, any survivors within 6/12/18 meters of the obsession. are highlighted for 3 seconds. The obsession is exempt from this reveal.

"Your mistakes shall damn your peers for eternity".

Hex: Watchful Eye: When the killer damages a generator Watchful Eye activates and marks it. The next survivor to begin repairing the marked generator will be exposed for 30/45/60 seconds.

"You cannot hide your greed from me."

Sinner's Pride: Everytime a generator is completed, you are revealed to the survivors for 5 seconds. In return, you gain a 10% haste effect for 20/25/30 seconds.

"No shame shall be cast upon my soul!"


A nice little creative writing idea I had while playing the game. Let me know what you think :).

    This was really fun to read :) Maybe BHVR should hire you! LOL

    That Hex: Watchful Eye is a really cool idea. I know it's a pain point for killers when highly immersive players just get right back on a gen. I like that that behavior could come with an added risk. Being exposed is a big shitter, but the fact that it's a hex also makes it counterable...which makes it seem pretty fair and fun.

    I also like the balance of her power. It would be cool for killers to have the ability to apply exhaustion right off the bat with an addon. It would be even cooler to run it and have it apply a random effect just to see what it is and have people running around with different afflictions.
