Grimoire Killer Idea(s)

Feel free to reply with your own ideas.

Summary of what we know about killer power so far:
The killer has a Nemesis/Krasue effect to apply a status before actually getting damage.
Killer has an executioner-style hook state option.
Killer is ranged and has strikethrough.
Survivors can choose where to bring their teammates back to via killer objects (Plague's fountains or Nightmare's clocks).
Survivors get an artifact in exile that is an extra gameplay mechanic that has no effect outside.


I believe that the killer should have more going for them.
As they don't have:
A unique status effect.
Meaningful artifacts for the killer to take into account and play around.
Any power bound to LB or CTRL.


I believe that the way to remedy this is to give the killer three different "Commandments" in a menu opened by pressing CTRL.

For a minute at a time an effect causes survivors to gain passive sin based off of what they are doing.
I.E.
'Work:' Survivors in lockers, crouching, walking, and standing still, gain passive sin over the course of a minute.

'Pray:' While survivors are not in the killer's terror radius or are outside 4 meters of a totem or killer item.

'Rest:' While survivors are repairing a generator, healing, or cleansing a totem.

That way the killer has some way to force survivors to interact in different ways, and with an individual 1-2 minute cooldown, the killer can get into a rhythm of regularly sending each commandment in an order of their choosing.

I'm not sure what would change on the survivor side of things, with the sin status effect and all, but you can't go wrong with oblivious at 1-20 seconds of sin, blindness at 21-40, and killer instinct at 41-60.


Survivor artifacts could make it so sin is removed after having performed a specific task, like healing someone else, or when a generator is completed, or being chased by the killer. With aura reading to assist with those tasks, like having aura reading on the closest "task requirement."
