How to Rework Freddy
Some said a fun and lore-accurate Freddy is impossible in DbD. I want to challenge this notion by providing a version of Freddy that hits both these criteria.
FREDDY:
- Freddy begins the trial in the Dream World. While in the Dream World, Freddy has 120% movement speed, has 10% additional vaulting speed, and lunges 2 meters further. Freddy cannot damage sleeping survivors in the Dream World.
- Freddy can exit the Dream World at will to damage awake survivors. When outside of the Dream World, he is slowed to 105% movement speed and loses both lunge range and his vault speed.
- Freddy can no longer place Snares, Pallets, or Teleport. These have been replaced.
- Freddy can 'lul' awakened survivors to sleep, which puts a survivor to sleep over the course of several seconds.
SURVIVORS:
- Survivors begin awake, unless addons dictate otherwise.
- While awake, Survivors can work on generators, totems, and other objectives.
- Survivors fall asleep every 60 seconds.
- When asleep, Survivors cannot repair generators. When asleep, their Body remains at the spot they fell asleep at, while their Consciousness wanders the map. The Survivor has to find a Clock to Wake Up again.
- Survivors that are hooked in the Dream Realm awaken at their Body with 1 lost hook state. At 0 hook states, the Entity kills the survivor as though they were sacrificed.
DREAM WORLD:
- When in the Dream World, all pallets are replaced with Dream Pallets. Dream Pallets no longer Stun Freddy, but they break him out of lunges, and they apply a 20% Hindered (That's 100% speed) for 2 seconds.
- Dream Snares now populate the map randomly at different choke points. They cannot be replaced.
- A Survivor has to find a Clock to wake up from the Dream World. Sleeping survivors cannot work on generators. If Freddy finds a clock, he can destroy it, making it respawn after twenty seconds.
- When a Survivor has to be woken up, another survivor has to find a fire barrel in the trial and pick up a Prod item. The Survivor has 25 seconds to use it on a sleeping survivor to wake them up on their own, or else the Prod cools and becomes useless. Using the Prod on a survivor will injure them one state. If already injured, it will make them Broken.
POWER:
- Freddy has the ability to manipulate his reach. With his power, he can launched his arm forward and stretch it to stab a survivor at a distance. He can shift the direction of this slash into a certain direction to cleave in that direction, damaging any survivors caught in the cleave. Freddy can only do this in the Dream World.
