Speed Limiter Rework

Seeing the new Never-Sleep Pills and Prayer Tablet Fragment makes me eager for more direct side grade add-ons that change how the killer plays. Here is a proposition for Hillbilly's Speed Limiter:

A mechanical device that limits the amount of fuel small engines can intake at one time, forcing a constant and safe speed.

  • Breaking a Pallet with the Chainsaw immediately decreases your heat by 20 charges.
  • Reduces the cooldown of Chainsaw attacks by 1 second.
  • Grants 100% Bonus Bloodpoints for Chainsaw Hit Score Event in the Deviousness Category.
  • Short dashes with the Chainsaw do not automatically trigger the Dying State. Long Dash Chainsaw Hits will trigger the Dying State.

This trades the close range chase ability to a more focused movement option. The reduced cooldown for both successful and missed attacks promotes its use to get around and continue chase from the initial hit or arrival. Additionally, the change that would allow the limited Chainsaw to down Survivors after a Long Dash. A Long Dash is a score event that triggers after 2 seconds, meaning you would have to sprint for at least 2 seconds before the chainsaw became lethal again, meaning that the Chainsaw maintains it's lethality at range, but not at close quarters. The heat reduction upon pallet break makes using the chainsaw to break a pallet nearly break even for the Hillbilly, as they would lose 23.5 heat from a 25 heat interaction.

Please point out any oversights below. Thank you!
