Any more Boon or Scourge Hook Ideas?
I've just read a discussion querying Boons and Scourge Hooks, since it's been a while since any have come out. So, I just am randomly suggesting 3 ideas for each off the top of my head as possoble templates or basic ideas for future ones.
BOONS
Boon: Remedy). Based on a potion from Final Fantasy, this Boon will recover any status effect by 50%/75%/100% so long as the survivor remains in the area. It can also remove "exposed" status effect whilst the survivor remains in within the Boon.
Boon: Bring The Light). A survivor equivalent to Haunted Grounds, this Boon is a tickig timebomb. When the killer snuffs the Boon out, the Boon explodes, stunning the killer for 5 seconds and causing the blindness status effect for 40/50/60 seconds. The downside is, as described, that totem is destroyed in the process.
Boon: Sight Jack). Based on Siren, this is a Boon which, whilst lit, grants a 45 second charge. Using the ability allows you to see through the eyes of the killer. It only works whilst standing still. If you are able to use all the charge before it is stamped out, you'll be able to see 1 perk/ 2 perks/ 2 perks and the add-ons of the killer.
SCOURGE HOOKS
Scourge Hook: Unburdened). A scourge based on relieving a survivor of their crutches. Upon being unhooked, the survivor has 2/3/4 perks disabled for 40 seconds.
Scourge Hook: Sound Bites). When a survivor is hooked, all survivors suffer from "deafness" for 30 seconds (the audio becomes muffled and undirectional). When the survivor is unhooked and healed, the survivor screams, revealing their location and applies deafness to all involved in healing for 15 seconds.
Scourge Hook: The Lonely). Once unhooked from a Scourge, a dull totem becomes Hexed. That survivor now suffers from the Lonely status, where they are unable to see any survivor and cannot perform any actions on another survivor (although survivors can heal and see them, and the gen bonuses remain) until the Hex is removed. Can only happen once per survivor per trial.

-
Boon idea: reveals the auras of all survivors, generators, chests, and totems while standing within the Boon's area, and any survivors outside the Boon can see the auras of any survivors within it.
Scourge Hook idea: while a survivor is hooked, all generator skillchecks have their speed increased by 30% and success zones reduced by 30%.
