Pennywise Power Concept (Chapter in Progress)

HealsBadMan

Hey y'all,

As I'm working on my next Chapter Concept (spoiler, It is Pennywise :p) I had some difficulty coming up with a somewhat balanced power that would work. I came up with the following below, I'd love some feedback before fleshing out the rest of the concept.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power: Eater Of Worlds

The Shapeshifter has the ability to transform into what its victims fear most. In the eternal realm of the Entity, where fear and evil are rampant, Pennywise is stronger than ever. The Entity sometimes has trouble reining It in, and in doing so It has some influence over the Entity’s Killers.

• The Shapeshifter can hold the Secondary Attack button to change into any other Killer. This Ability is called Transform.
  • By default, the Shapeshifter can Transform into The Trapper, The Wraith and The Hillbilly. These selections can be changed with addons.
• Channel Transform for 2s to change into the 1st Killer, 4s for the 2nd Killer, and 6s for the 3rd Killer. Release the Secondary Attack button to Transform. Cancel Transform by pressing the Attack button. Transform lasts for a maximum of 120s before forcing the Shapeshifter back into its original form.
  • To Transform back into The Shapeshifter, hold the Secondary Attack button for 6s while not moving.
  • When stunned or blinded, the Shapeshifter returns to its original form.
  • When Transforming into a Killer, the Trial spawns in any Killer Items that are associated with that Killer. When transforming back into The Shapeshifter, these Killer Items despawn and any Killer-specific status effects are removed. After using Transform, it goes onto cooldown (60s).
    • Killer Specific Status Effects- Madness, Sickness, Holding Victor, Laceration
    • Killer Specific Items- Traps, Catalysts, Pools of Devotion, Blood Orbs.
• When successfully using another Killer’s power, The Shapeshifter’s Fear meter increases. (100 charges, successful Power uses fills up gauge by 10 charges.)
• By definition, a successful use of a Killer’s power is downing a Survivor while using/after using the Killer power on the Survivor.

+Special Ability: Balloons

• Press the Active Ability button as the Shapeshifter to consume 10 charges of Fear and spawn a Balloon. Balloons will slowly drift towards nearby Generators, Pallets, Chests or Vault locations. A Survivor who interacts with a Generator, Pallet, Chest or Vault that has a Balloon will suffer from the Hemorrhage status effect for 60s.
  • Balloons can only be used while in the form of the Shapeshifter. Using Balloons puts Transform on a 15s cooldown.

+Special Ability: Deadlights

• When Fear is fully charged, hold the Active Ability button for 5s to release the Deadlights. These three lights fly up and shine across the entire Trial, blinding and deafening all Survivors for 15s. During this time, the Auras of all Survivors are shown to The Shapeshifter. The Fear meter is then reset to 0.
  • Deadlights can only be used while in the form of the Shapeshifter. Using Deadlights puts Transform on a 60s cooldown.

NOTE: The Shapeshifter cannot transform into Licensed Killers (The Shape, The Cannibal, The Nightmare, The Pig, The Ghost Face, The Demogorgon, The Executioner, The Nemesis or The Cenobite.) due to licensing issues, not gameplay.
