Improved Pyramid Head Update and Add-On Pass

Hello BHVR! You guys recently mentioned in your Reddit AMA that you might look into Pyramid Head's add-ons when you go to improve him. I would like to update my previous add-on pass based on feedback/lessons learned as well as my suggested base kit improvements (next paragraph). Here's what I came up with (I added one extra option for each rarity in case some of my suggestions aren't feasible). Thank you for your time and consideration! Hope this helps!


Base Kit Changes: Make it so survivors have basic hook protections when rescued from a cage (base kit borrowed time, hook perks activating, etc.). You can then allow Punishment of the Damned to inflict survivors with torment on hit because the tunneling issue will have been mitigated. Also, give survivors a limited resource to remove torment (like Nemesis vaccines and Wesker sprays) since it will be easier to inflict torment.


Pink 1: Rites of Judgement stance reveals the auras of survivors within 8 meters. Rites of Judgement stance grants Undetectable.

Pink 2: Punishment of the Damned can break pallets.

Pink 3: All survivors start the trial tormented. Whenever a tormented survivor begins an interaction (gens, totems, healing, etc.) they scream and reveal their location to the killer. This effect can only trigger on each tormented survivor once every 30 seconds.

 

Purple 1: When sending a survivor to a Cage of Atonement, the auras of all other survivors are revealed for 6 seconds; the auras of tormented survivors are shown in yellow (buffed Iridescent Seal of Metatron).

Purple 2: Rites of Judgement trails inflict Oblivious for 60 seconds (buffed Lost Memories Book).

Purple 3: Punishment of the Damned can damage non-regressing generators, causing them to explode, lose 5% progress, and begin regressing.

Purple 4: The Executioner immediately returns to the Rites of Judgement stance after the first Punishment of the Damned attack (allowing the Executioner to immediately resume carving trails and/or do a second Punishment of the Damned attack).

Purple 5: Survivors afflicted by torment can no longer remove torment by rescuing another survivor from a Cage of Atonement (the rescued survivor still has their torment removed).

 

Green 1: Rites of Judgement trails reveal the auras of survivors for 5 seconds.

Green 2: Survivors damaged by Punishment of the Damned are afflicted with the Hemorrhage and Mangled status effects.

Green 3: The speed Punishment of the Damned travels along its path is increased by 100%.

Green 4: Survivors damaged by Punishment of the Damned are afflicted with the Broken status effect for 60 seconds.

Green 5: The width of Punishment of the Damned is now .5 meters (normally 1 meter). The range of Punishment of the Damned is now infinite.

Green 6: Tormented survivors spread torment to other survivors when a healing action is completed on them (healer gets tormented if the healed survivor was tormented).

 

Yellow 1: Increases the range of Punishment of the Damned by 2.5 meters (currently Burning Man Painting and Wax Doll combined).

Yellow 2: Increases the duration of trails left by Rites of Judgement by 35 seconds (currently Mannequin Foot and Cinderella Music Box combined).

Yellow 3: Rites of Judgement trails inflict Blindness for 60 seconds (currently Rust-Colored Egg).

Yellow 4: Rites of Judgement is silent (activating power, dragging the Great Knife, and releasing power; not Punishment of the Damned)

Yellow 5: Survivors afflicted by torment will have duration of the barbed wire trail that follows them increased by 200%.

Yellow 6: Removes the turn rate restriction of Rites of Judgement.

 

Brown 1: Increases maximum duration of Rites of Judgement by 3.5 seconds (currently Tablet of the Oppressor and Spearhead combined).

Brown 2: Decreases time required to recharge Rites of Judgement by 7 seconds (currently Valtiel Sect Photograph and Forgotten Videotape combined).

Brown 3: Allows the Executioner to see the Punishment of the Damned path/range before firing.

Brown 4: The Executioner can no longer send tormented survivors to a Cage of Atonement nor execute tormented survivors with Final Judgement. The duration of trails left by Rites of Judgement is now infinite (100 total trail points on map still capped; oldest trails are replaced with newest trails when cap is reached). Trails left by Rites of Judgement are no longer restricted by generators, hooks, exit gates, hatch, or basement. Bloodpoints granted for Judgement are increased by 100%.

Brown 5: Increases the duration of Killer Instinct when triggered by Rites of Judgement by 2.5 seconds (currently Scarlet Egg and Misty Day, Remains of Judgement combined).

    Btw so tormented is still meaningful and exerts pressure on the survivors, whatever the proposed resource to get rid of it would be should be pretty limited. 4 uses would probably be ideal (similar to Nemesis vaccines).
