What do you think about this Hoarder rework I thought of?
Just note that numbers are tentative and can be changed.
You protect what little you have and are perceptive to those making use of your stockpiles.
When a survivor uses an item, the item is affected by Hoarder for the rest of the trial.
Any items affected by Hoarder will reveal their aura to the killer when within a 20/22/24 meter radius.
If a survivor enters a chase while holding an affected item, they will be notified of Hoarder.
2 additional chests will spawn into the trial.
With this change, I want Hoarder to stand on its own as a good perk without needing Franklin's Demise to make it work.
Since Hoarder only works when survivors use their items for the first time, it encourages the killer to spread damage to make them use their medkits and punishes survivors for trying to rush a quick gen at the start.
Instead of getting a notification from a survivor miles away, killers can now use this perk to make items a detriment to the survivors, like the perk intends.
Since survivors are notified of the perk, there's counterplay as they can ditch the item to prevent the killer having aura reading on them. Also since the killer can see the item through walls, the survivor might have to decide when to drop the item in a chase in order to not get hit or mindgamed. However, this can cause the survivor go not have their item when they need it.
This perk would give an interesting dilemma to the survivors, of whether to keep the item and have their location revealed, or ditching the item at the risk of not having it when they need to.
What do you think of this rework? I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

Bumping this as it has gotten buried under all the Trickster posts.

Sorry to bump this again but I picked a bad time to post this just before the new chapter so it got quickly buried underneath Trickster posts. I just want to get people's thoughts on it.
