Slight modification for Penance

I think most people can agree that protection hits are a bit too niche and survivor controlled to really make for an interesting killer perk but how about a small change to open up more uses for it without changing the premise too much.


The simple change would be setting a radius around the hit survivor where if multiple survivors are in it that's all it takes to activate. It would expand its active time by a lot, allow perk synergies like discordance to build a killer strategy around, and it would make it's quirky little side thing of working outside of basic attacks have more impact to its play. Cross map hatchet at a discordance gen? Broken survivor when you get there, someone bodyblocking while carrying, broken, stealthy killer sneaking up on people, break one and chase the other. There's just a lot more scenarios where this perk could shine with that small change. It would also turn the restriction into something useful in its own right as a soft info perk that could warn you someone is nearby waiting for the flashlight save. Having a restriction actually have a side use is a lot more interesting than just a restriction.
