Community Challenge, be creative - Design your own Perk

Here is a survivor perk kit idea I had for a male nurse character.

Hawk eye, survivor perk that lets them see killer footprints. Can be useful for certain ones or loops. Simple. Different levels change how long they are visible.

Weak Boarding, survivor can choose one breakable wall to push off it's place and open due to frail construction work.

•Knuckle Cracker: After hitting a survivor, the survivor will be unable to use items for 60/80/100 seconds. If they drop or are not holding an item, they are are unable to pick one up. This effect is immediately removed after being put into the dying health state or being hooked.

•Green Thumb: Unlocks your aura reading abilities. Any survivor in or touching foliage at least 7/9/11 meters away, are revealed to you.

•Ultimatum: When the exit gates are powered, the aura of any survivor within a 15 meter radius of a gate switch are revealed to you. When a gate is opened, the other gate is permanently locked. If a survivor were to attempt to open it, the other gate will be closed for 30/45/60 seconds.

Theme: Undertaker (survivor and killer)

+Killer=

•Mortician: For each survivor killed, gain a 3% movement speed and 5% vaulting speed increase. After killing a survivor, gain a 30% increase to breaking or damaging for 20/30/40 seconds; If they were killed by a mori, gain an additional 15% increase to recovery speed from missed attacks for that duration.

•Botched Autopsy: When a survivor is put into the dying health state by your melee attack, they are broken for 90/120/150 seconds and when put on the hook, while still broken, are left broken until they unhook another survivor.

•Dire Circumstances: Unlocks your aura reading abilities. When 5/4/3 generators are completed, you are able to see the auras of all healthy survivors and you gain the undetectable status effect until the exit gates are opened.

+Survivor=

•Morbid Curiosity: When a survivor is dying, hooked, or dead, you can see the killer’s aura within a 33/44/55 meter radius. If you are the last survivor remaining, you are undetectable and your sounds are decreased by 100%.

•Surgical Precision: When healing a dying survivor, all skill checks will count as great skill checks. Failing a healing skill check has a 100% chance of not alerting the killer, instead lose an additional 3/2/1% progress.

•Preserve: When effected by the deep wound status effect, you no longer need to mend. Instead, after entering and remaining in a locker for at least 5 seconds, you instantly put into the injured health state. Healing progress is not lost when being injured, 80/90/100% is transferred after being damaged. (i.e. If you are injured and beal yourself to 80%, When you are downed, your recovery progress is set at 80% or when your are inflicted with the deep wound status effect, the mending progress is set to 80%).

Theme: Ballerina

•1st Position: This perk has 15/20/25 charges. When you start running, at the cost of one charge per second, your movement speed is increased by 10%. Charges can only be refilled by standing still (1 charge per 7 seconds without moving), with no charges your running movement speed is decreased by 5% and your breathing is 25% louder.

•Prima Donna: While rush vaulting or falling, you have a short period of invincibility, and 60 seconds of a 7% haste effect. After, you are exhausted for 60/50/40 seconds. You do not receive a haste effect while exhausted.

•Pirouette: When the killer near misses you with their attack, this perk gains a token (to a maximum of 5 tokens). When 5 tokens are reached, you can press the active ability button and stun the killer if they are within a 3/4/5 meter radius of you. This perk loses all its tokens if you are hooked, if it has not reached its maximum yet. (i.e. If you have less than 5 stacks when hooked, you lose it all.)

Theme: Dissociative Identity Disorder

Killer=

Remorse: Every 20/15/10 seconds spent of out of chase, this perk gains a token up to a maximum of 6 tokens. For each token gain a 10% movement speed increase. When entering a chase, lose all tokens. If a survivor is sacrificed, this perk goes into a cool down period of 25 seconds; in which, tokens cannot be gathered and movement speed is reset to normal.

Aggression: For each survivor still alive, gain a 25% decrease to the cool down of missed attacks. When entering a chase, the aura of all other survivors outside a 45/30/25 meter radius are revealed to you.

Relish: When a survivor takes a protection hit for another survivor, your attack cool down is removed for an additional attack. Gain 15/20/25% more blood points for the brutality category.

Survivor=

Attached: When there is an obsession that is not you, this perk activates. As long as the obsession is alive, gain a 8% movement speed increase. If the obsession is in a chase, you are able to see the aura of the killer. This effect will persist for 3/4/5 seconds after the chase has ended.

Confrontational: After lasting in a chase for 50/40/30 seconds, this perk activates. When you are picked up start with wiggle progress set to 50%. If you are pulled off an action, you automatically begin wiggling at 33% progress.

Excited: For each generator completed, increase the size of success zones by 10% and great zones by 20%. After a generator is completed, receive a 25% action speed increase towards repairing, healing, sabotaging, unhooking, searching, unlocking, and opening exit gates for 6/8/10 seconds.

Killer perk:

Mortal Wound:

You become Obsessed with one survivor

Every time a non-obsession heals from injured to healthy, earn one token.

Each token reduces the survivor's sprint burst by 0.25 seconds(12.5%) up to 2/3/4 tokens upon successfully hitting an healthy survivor with a basic attack.

Every time the Obsesssion is healed, Lose 2 tokens. You can no longer gain Tokens If your Obsesssion is sacrficed or killed.

You can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.

Survivor perk:

Architect:

Grants 20/30/40% increased totem cleansing speed. Every time a totem is cleansed, gain 1 token.

Each token Increases Skill Check odds by 3% and 0.5% great skillcheck progression for the remainder of the trial.

Sealed Fate: Once you reach bloodlust tier one, you gain the ability to see any survivor auras in lockers when within 16, 24, 32 metres

"My job is to put people in the grave, to keep them there, and I'll be DAMNED if you take that from me!" - The Harvester

Hocus Pocus: When you hit a survivor with a basic attack, apply a status effect chosen at random for 15 seconds. When you hook a survivor, each healthy survivor will receive a status effect chosen at random for 40, 50, 60 seconds.

"Hocus Pocus! Deadly focus! Magic bat! Dragon's eye! Cast your chants; roll the die!" - The Magician

Released Insanity: Every 1 20, 100, 80 seconds, when there are at least two survivors in the trial, the furthest survivor will scream, revealing their location for 3 seconds.

"I found you..." - The Crypt Keeper

Recurring Depression: If the killer opens the exit gates, Recurring Depression activates. The two generators farthest from each other instantly go to 90%, 85%, 80% completion. These generators can't regress pass these points. Both exit gates will open and be blocked by the entity until one of these generators are completed. The generators are highlighted for all players. The end game timer is paused until a generator is completed.I

"Somehow, someway, this thing will see to it that everything we know, what we have come to expect... Will be turned on it's head." - Research log 17 on 'The Shadow'

Hit and Run: Start the trial with three tokens. Each time you stun the killer with a pallet, consume a token. Each time a token is consumed, gain 150% haste status effect for three seconds, leave no scratch marks for 3 seconds, and gain the exhaustion status effect for 60, 50, 40 seconds. Hit and Run cannot be used while exhausted.

"You learn in life that you can either take the punishment, or avoid it. There is only one real option for me." - Metias Brayden, ' The Thief'

Overcome: Whenever you miss a skill check, overcome activates for 8, 9, 10 seconds. During this time, you perform all channeled actions at 100% speed. Overcome has an 80 second cooldown.

"I take my #########-ups and make the most out of them. It got me this far in life." - Gloden Blazenben, 'The Prosthetist'

Close Call: Encountering horrors has prepared you for close encounters. For you, the kiiller's red stain is 30%, 40%, 50% longer. You hear the killer's terror radius at an additional 8 metres.

"I'm planning on living today, thank-you very much!" Mariah Brayden, ' The Reporter'

I call it one and done. This will take the place of a mori. It's a perk that allows you to kill the first survivor that you hook. This would eliminate the add-on and just change it to a perk

I was going to say if there was a disconnect then it resets. If that first person quits.

Theme: Preacher

•Revelation: When a survivor can be killed by the killer, from any source (perks, addons, and offerings), you can see their aura. When you take a protection hit for anyone highlighted by this perk, both of your movement speed are increased to 150% for 8/9/10 seconds. This effect will not apply if you are put into the dying health state.

•Masse: When in the presence (30 meter radius) of at least 2/2/1 survivor(s) that are injured, your healing and unhooking speed are increased by 100%. When under the effect of Masse, your aura is revealed to everyone including the killer when within a 50/40/30 meter radius.

•Self-Righteous: While all survivors alive (including yourself) are healthy, all of your action speeds are increased by 25/30/35%. If any survivor injured, dying, or hooked, you are undetectable and lose any bonus from this perk to action speeds.

Theme: Carpenter

•Wood Work: When in or near an applicable opening, you have the option to erect a wooden barrier that will block off the opening they are place at. This action will take 8 seconds to complete and will force the killer to spend 3/4/5 seconds if they wish to break these obstacles. Their aura are shown to all survivors and any survivor is able to remove these barriers in only 1 second. This perk has a 60 second cool down.

•Skillful Carving: When near a breakable wall or a wooden barrier at a doorway/applicable opening, you are able to spend 4 seconds make a temporary vault point. The aura of these vaults are revealed to all survivors. However, this (50/30/10%) considerably/ moderately/slightly decrease the amount of time required to break them. This perk has a 30 second cool down.

•Dexterous: When performing a skilled action (repairing, healing, etc), Skill check success zones are increased 40%. After achieving a good skill check, for your next skill check, the great skill check zone is increased by 10/20/30%.

@Mushy_Peas I actually really like them both O.o Well done!

Defilement (name pending)

The taste for blood awakens the hooks, making them longing for more. When a survivor is hooked, the hook becomes Defiled. Each time a survivor is hooked on a Defiled hook they receive a penalty to action speed for a duration proportional to the time left to the next stage, up to 60s.

The idea of this perk is to give incentives to non-camping and non-tunneling killers.

•Fake Out: After a few hits, you’re sure that they will be a little confused. Surely, something you can take advantage of.

+After stunning the killer 4/3/2 times, this perk actives. When the killer approaches a hook (4 meter radius), you will be given a tremendously difficult skill check. If succeeded, the killer is stunned for 5 seconds and you are freed. If failed, this perk deactivates until the conditions are met again.

-“That must have given them a concussion of some sort! Come at me again!”

•Undeterred: With each obstacle, you grow stronger and learn to use it for your own benefit.

+When exposed by any source, this perk gains a token. For each token, you gain 5/6/7% increase to repair speed.

-“It’s only a temporary setback!”

•Judgement: The world has its eyes on you and a moment of weakness will not stop you.

+When exposed by any source, this perk gains a token. When hooked, all tokens are consumed and the sacrificed process is halted for 5 seconds per token consumed. If you are unhooked while this perk is still in effect, you retain 1/2/3 token(s).

-“I feel it, but I refuse to stop now.”

Theme: Musician

•Acoustics: The world resonates with their screams of pain, you can use that to your advantage.

+When a survivor is hooked, the aura of all survivors hidden in lockers are revealed. For each hooked survivor, you gain a 15% attack cool down and fatigue duration reduction.

•Encore: Even without an appreciative audience, you still give them another show.

+After putting a survivor into the dying health, all survivors within your terror radius are exposed for 10/15/20 seconds or another survivor is put into the dying health state. This perk will not activate for exposed attacks.

•Broken Bones: Even if they steel themselves for you, they won’t be fully prepared.

+When a survivor has the endurance status effect and they take a protection hit while you are in a chase with another survivor, the effect is ignored and the survivor with the effect is put into the dying health state.

rusty blade

After landing 6 successful hits on a survivor, the next survivor at full health you hit will go down instantly. After you have done this the next survivor you hit will be granted another hit (2/3 depending on the health state of the survivor)

You could probably incorporate faster successful hit recuperation's

Theme: Royalty/Nobility

•Coup: You will bring change to this land.

+Whenever an object within a 20 meter radius is blocked by the entity, this perk gains a token. When this perk reaches 6/5/4 tokens, this perk actives. For 60 seconds, you are unaffected by the entity blocking objects and can act as if it were not there. The aura of blocked objects are revealed to you.

-“Omnipotence does not stop me from getting what I want!”

•Finery: You know only the best and highest quality treatment, even if it is in this death game.

+When using an item of at least ultra rare/very rare/rare rarity or above, your item efficiency and action speed for said item is increased by 30%. When using an item below that rarity, your item efficiency and action speed for said item is decreased by 20%.

-“What is this? Only commoners use such barbaric utilities!”

•Royal Grandeur: Everything must be done to the upmost care. Even lowly and menial tasks.

+After completing a skillful or lengthy action, you receive a 7% haste effect for 20/30/40 seconds.

-“It really was nothing much. Only what I’m naturally capable of doing.”

I have dream. I dream about a perk call toreador. this prek is a dash like dead hard but whit some specifique effect.

First the survivor must be not injured for use the perk. If the perk is use the survivor is effect by exhausted for 60/50/40 second.

If the survivor hit the killer during the dash the killer is stun for 5 second but the survivor is hurt whit the broken status effect fort 30/20/10 second. You become the obsession

The perk can be use for dash and have some distance during chase or safe a survivor from the graps of the killer. The perk is high risk high reward. you safe a survivor but you are in difficulte situation.

Perk: Safe Save

"So what the killer is staring at you"

If the killer is in a 3/5/7 meter radius of a hooked survivor for 15/12/9 seconds the player with the perk gains the endurance effect until the killer leaves the radius in which it persists for 3 more seconds.

Hex: entity's feast

This hex totem convinces the entity to help you sacrifice, every hook now becomes infused with the entities power making the hooks take 4/6/8 seconds longer to sabotage and the sacrifice process is 4/5/6% faster.

I have a few for your game Dead by daylight, Since I have seen you grow since the beginning and the first night in the fog:

Killer perks:

"All in" after hooking every survivor once, your next basic attack will apply hindred (not sure how much % in hindred is balanced), hemorage, blindness, mangle (The idea is to apply as many status effects one this one empowered attack) for 1/3/5 seconds

"Grudge" After hitting survivors for 40/35/20 times your next attack will have expose status effect on it.

"Beyond the veil" After hooking a survivor, show all the gens progression via intensity of their aura. For 2/3/4 seconds

"On the prowl" Get obssed with one survivor. After hooking the obession reveal the auras of all the other survivors for 3/6/9 and increase the killers terror radius by 10%/15%/20% while in a chase until the obsession has been unhooked. Gain haste 0/0/1% after hooking you obession for 6/9/12 seconds

"Despair" Hooking survivors in the basement will grant your next hooked surviors progression to increase by 4%/8%/12%. 100 seconds cooldown.

"Unholy alliance" Get obseed with one survivor. For each token you gain (just like play with your food) 1/2/3 tokens. Each tokens decay after 20 seconds. Causes your obession to see the killers aura for 3/6/9 seconds. When the killer kicks a generator, 8/12/16 meters around the damaged generator causes hemorage, blindness, oblivious to survivors inside the raidus for 10/15/20 seconds

"Bloodpact" As long as the four survivors are alive bloodpact will be active. After downing a survior, the obession (if none exist, it will make one) suffers from hemorage, mangle. At tier 3, causes the obession to go from healthy to injured, If the obession is injured do nothing but give mangle and hemorage.

"Mechanical hands" Allows the killers grasp to reach futher then before, your catching raidus is increased by 1/1/2 meters. This is meant to have an easier time to catch survivors.

"Wrath" After getting stunned by a pallet, gain 5%/10%/15% increased breakingspeed on that pallet for 10 secounds. "Wrath" also increased the breaking speed of breakable walls 10%/15%/20% (does not stack)

Survivor perks:

"Gotem" After cleansing all(Can also be 3/4/5 for balance sake) totems, reveal the closest genrator to all surviors and gain 1/2/5% (or 3% at max) increase repair speed on that highlighted generator

"Dread" After staying in the killers terror radius without being in a chase for 175/200/225 reveal one hex totem for the remaing of the trail (personal)

"Dirty hands" Make one dull totem(if no dull totems exist, than this will be deactive for the game) into a hex totem. When that totem is cleanse heal one state from injured (lvl 1) / heal on state from dying(lvl 2) / heal two state from dying to healthy (lvl 3) for the obessions. If there's no obession give all surviors exposed 30/35/40 "Dirty hands" does not trigger any hex killer perks and can not be detected by other hex totems or revived by other hex totems.

"Rival" Increases the chance of being the obession. If you're the obession, whenever you're outside of the killers terror radius increase your movement speed with 0%/0%/1% and increase the healing,unhooking speed by 5%/10%/15% when inside of the killers terror radius.

If you're not the obession you will get a less powerfull "Rival" you will gain no movementspeed but you healing,unhooking speed will get increased by 2%/4%/6%

"Vendetta" After getting hook once or reaching the struggle phase, the next time you get picked up the hookes will be blocked by the entity in a radius around you. 3/6/9 meters (note sure if the are the correct measurement, but it's intended to block the nearby hooks around where you get picked up)

"Backup" While cleansing a totem reveal your aura for the other survivors in a radius around you 20/25/30 meters for 4/6/8 seconds and reveal your aura for the killer for 4/3/2

"Determination" In the most intense and stressfull moments, you have learn to give it your all regardless of the outcome while the killer is looking in your direction (15 meters, not sure what's ideal, but it's to be in killers terror radisu while also being close and looking at your like "Spine chill") increase the chances of skillschecks and gives the haste (1%/2%/4%) status effect if the generator is finished in the terror radius of the killer for 3/5/7 seconds

I tried to make the perks as intressing, balanced and fun as possible for both side. But also the kind of perks I would like to see in this game one day before I die and join the entity as a killer or survivor in the fog. I hope these perks inspired something, by name or effects. I also hope you enjoyed the ideas I have been stashing away for so long😀

All or nothing (survivor perk)

Gain the following effects:

-Stun duration effects on the killer are increased by 10%/20%/30%

-Crouching is permanently disabled

"There are those who run, and those who fight."

--------------------------------------

The Worlds Smallest Violin

You feel the slightest amount of sympathy for your victims.

Upon landing a successful hit on each individual survivor, gain a sympathy token.

1 Token: Your terror radius is replaced with a saddeningly tragic melody.

2 Tokens: Survivors cannot help but to cry over your musicianship. Survivors Grunts cannot be muffled, and are heard at all times as though they are in the injured state.

3 Tokens: Survivors are your biggest fans. Survivors within your terror radius will occasionally scream out in joy over your beautiful music, revealing their location briefly.

Theme: Electrician

•Wire Up: You can make sure that these gates are opened in time.

+Once per trial, before the exit gates are powered, you are able to perform the “rewire” action on an exit gate switch. Doing so will take 30/25/20 seconds without any interruption to complete. While performing the “rewire” action, you will occasionally receive normal skill checks; of which if you were to fail, you lose one health state and scream, revealing your location for 10 seconds. After finishing the action, that specific door will take 0.5 seconds to open by any survivor. The killer cannot open doors that have been rewired.

•Charged Up: These feeble generators are nothing until you come along.

+Any generator you repair that is not completed, takes 30/40/50% longer to damage. Any damaged generator you begin repairing, will remain sparking for 10 seconds.

•Shocking Discovery: You can set special traps for the most prolific vandals.

+After repairing a generator for 5 seconds, this perk activates. If you were to leave the generator before completion and the killer damages it within a 30/45/60 second time period after you stopped, the killer is stunned for 5 seconds. This will, however, regress the generator an additional 5%. Only one generator can be affected by this perk at once.
