Survivors' unique powers!

You can play the Wraith with Trapper's, Hag's, Pig's and Doctor's perks, but nobody, except him, can ring the bell to become almost
invisible or run at his speed. On the other side, to play Claudette or Jake makes no difference: different figures, identical powers. I think survivors should have something special, about repairing or running or unhooking etc.: not only personal perks, but also unique abilities, to make tactics greater and the game more funny! Do you agree?

    I do i agree that survivors are just skins (some being strictly better than others), but the survivor equivalent to the killer power (although not as exiting) is the tools they can bring in (medkit, toolbox, etc).
    It would be fun to have character specific abilities as survivor, but then you would probably have to completely re-balance an already imbalanced game around it, and I'm sure they would rather spend their resources elsewhere.

    I say introduce more items. The problem with the whole survivor powers thing is that the meta will shift so that you'll only ever see certain characters. Not to mention it's an overhaul of the game's most basic, constant systems.

    Like in Dungeons & Dragons, I imagine complementary roles: there should be no overpowered survivors, but people weak if not combined in the proper way, and able to win if well mixed.

    Items can be used by everybody. :(
