Story: Hermann Schultz was only 15 when the allied forces firebombed his hometown of Dresden, Germany. Hermann was fascinated with fire, a heavy smoker at age 11 and always in trouble with the law for stealing accelerants. When the city was bombed Hermann stood in the streets watching the flames engulfed it and its people. Amongst the panic and crying Hermann was not phased, but more mesmerized. When it was all over he found the burnt corpse of his mother in his destroyed home. This set Hermann off, and being a smart engineering student he tracked down the members of the military who set the event in order. High ranking military officials and officers, one by one they perished in fires of malicious origin. It wasn't until Hermann was 55 they finally caught him, hiding out in a warehouse full of accelerant in Liverpool, UK.

Not bad idea but it needs some changes, like "Down to Business" has too low %. it needs in my opinion 3/4/5% for dull totems. % for destroying hex totems are doubled. Is height like trapper's height? Terror radius is too big - change to random 32 meters. I'd say other thing but i don't like to write too much. Can i write or talk to you on priv?

I made it low because it's suppose to be a copy of fire up for survivors anything more than 10% would be kinda overpowering since it also makes you vault faster and it's a permanent buff. It might even be too high at max already but I agree with hex totems adding 2 tokens. The height is suppose to be a bit taller than the tallest killer wraith. The terror radius is meant to be as big as doctor with distressing. Since he uses fire and is a giant matching doctors absolute max terror radius was the goal. Why is it too big and why is that bad?
