New Killer concept: The Fireman

Hex_DevourAss

So I’ve been toying around with this idea for a while, let me know what you guys think.

Killer: The Fireman

Ability: Fire extinguisher

The Fireman carries 3 fire extinguishers on his person while hunting survivors. When charged the Fireman damages an extinguisher and tosses it a short distance in front of him, when it lands, the extinguisher explodes covering a medium sized area, in a dense, white smoke. Survivors hit directly by the extinguisher will take a point of damage. Survivors within the smoke will have restricted vision, and cannot see very far whilst in the smoke as a result. Survivors caught within the explosion range of the extinguisher will also be deafened. Whilst in the smoke, survivors can no longer carry out healing, repairing, unhooking and cleansing actions.

The Fireman can replenish fire extinguishers by hooking survivors or by going to the basement to resupply. With each extinguisher the Fireman carries, his movement speed is reduced to a minimum of 110% movement speed when carrying all extinguishers, when he uses up all of his extinguishers, his movement speed increases to 120%, but he has a shorter lunge range.

Add-ons : increases the maximum number of extinguishers carried, increases number of extinguishers replenished when hooking survivors, increases lunge range, apply exhaustion, exposed or hindered whilst in the smoke cloud,increase the area of the smoke cloud.

Perks: 

Rage: your anger at being left behind fuels your hatred towards those who live. After hooking a survivor gain a token, with each token you can instantly destroy a pallet when using a lunge attack. Maximum amount of tokens carried changes based on perk rank by  2/3/4.

No Escape: you beseech the entity to grant you a boon. During the start of the game an invisible hatch spawns that only the killer can see. When the regular hatch spawns on the map the fake one spawns as well, if a survivor tries to use the fake hatch to escape, they will instead be teleported to the nearest hook. Keys do NOT work on the fake hatch.

Crafty: you make do with what you have to make them suffer. Collect fragments of broken pallets to add to your inventory. When you have 3 pallet fragments you can consume all 3 fragments to block a window after performing a building action on that specific window. You receive one pallet fragment per broken pallet.

Let me know what you guys think.

Any suggestions to flesh out the lore would be particularly helpful. The only thing I’ve got in my head right now is a fireman who was left behind as a sacrifice to save others against his will in a burning building.
