Survivor Perk:
Dying Wish:
Although you tried your best to keep those around you safe. You have fallen to the hands of the killer, yet your sacrifice isn't in vain.
After sacrifice; the perk activates. The following will happen for 30/40/50 seconds.
All totems, hex totems, and generators will be revealed in specific colored auras forthe duration of the perk. Granting survivors a 10% repair/heal/sabotage/etc and haste speed while at it.
Once the perk wears off, a 15 second lingering affect occurs but for only repairs and haste.

Survivor-
STEALTH MODE:
Survivors with this perk have the ability to not have visible auras for 5x seconds whenever not running, not working on a generator, not healing, not unhooking another survivor, not destroying a totem, etc. It is passive, so no need to activate it. Great to combat Barbecue and Chili, Bitter Murmur, etc. But, still weak to A Nurse's Calling, Iron Maiden, etc.
"Shadow's are your friends...so is keeping your trap shut."
Killer-
INSIDIOUS Upgrade:
Use insidious while moving as an active power for 5x seconds whenever you're away from a survivor on a hook by at least 32 meters, and have no other active power currently in use. Cannot be used while in a chase, with any other stealth power, or while carrying a survivor (though that'd be cool).
"Now you hear me, now you don't...peek a boo!"

Archeologicist's treasure : When opening a Chest you have a X chance of getting 2 items in the chest. pressing the ability button allows you to store one item for the rest of the trial. if you die or escape the stored item escapes with you.
this perk should help the daily and you can finally get out with 1 or 2 items.. if you die you keep the stored item

Hex: Eyes On You
The beast watches through its totems.
Each time a Survivor goes within 8 m of a totem, their aura is revealed for 1 second. If a totem is destroyed, the Survivor who destroyed it has their aura revealed for 8 seconds. This can only activate once every 100/80/60 seconds.
If the Hex Totem holding Hex: Eyes On You is destroyed, the Survivor that destroyed it suffers from the Exposed Status Effect for 45 seconds.

Just had a really cool idea. I dunno how OP or balanceable this would be but I'd use it. It'd be a laugh and potentially very handy, though could backfire if the killer calls your bluff and goes to the right exit gate so it'd be potentially balanced because of that?
It'd be like Red Herring only for Exit Gates and it'd be called . . . I dunno,
"The Two Doors Riddle"
As soon as you touch any exit gate power switch a loud noise goes off at the other one alerting the killer to your attempt at opening the wrong gate.
- Tier 1 allows you to do it one time
- Tier 2 allows two times
- Tier 3 allows three times
And the quote would be something like:
"You find yourself in a strange place guarded by two guards. One of the guard always say truth while other always lies. You don't know the identity of the two. You can ask only one question to go out from there. What should you ask?"

Telepathy:
Effects of aura reading abilities are shared between the player and the obsession without meeting any conditions required.
You can see the effects of aura reading perks used by the obsessions (without meeting prerequisite, ex: object of obsession-killer will only see the survivor running object of o. Not the survivor who is sharing its benefits.)
And vice versa (obsession will see the effects of your aura reading abilities without meeting the prerequisites)
*considerably reduces the chances of becoming the obsession.
Mind over matter:
After cleansing a hex totem (must be a hex totem) this ability becomes active. After hiding in a locker for 20/10/05 seconds the survivor will receive an ability action option to teleport. When activated the survivor will teleport to a random locker on the map. If the survivor has high luck survivor will be teleported to a locker that is the farthest on the map from the killer. If survivor has low luck. Survivor will be teleported to a locker that is in or nearest to the killers terror radius. If survivor is able to successfully teleport from a killer while in a chase/killer searching lockers the survivor becomes the obsession.
Hex: illusion
At the start of the match 1/2/3 false totems will appear through out the map (completely intractable with full cleansing times)
Survivors will not get any blood points from cleansing nor any bonus/tokens from cleansing related perks (such as with inner strength).
This will waste survivors time. And give swf a disadvantage, will make them think that they are done cleansing totems after cleansing 5 (in the case of hex noed) when there might still be active totems throughout the map.
The only counter is detectives hunch and small game. In which perks will not react to false totems
Jackpot:
After aiming at the killer and pressing the active ability button the survivor throws a rock at the killer. The rock has a 5%/25/45% chance of stunning the killer. Survivors can raise the percentage of success by increasing their luck by bringing salt offerings to the trial. Whether the jackpot was successful or not this ability goes onto a cool down of 3 minutes

"Shut-down and Reboot" or "Lazarus the Possum"
While in a dying state, activate this perk once per match after being hooked at least once. Activation will put the survivor in a death state; unable to more. The killer will not be able to interact with the survivor. The survivor will then need to be resurrected by a team mate within 30/45/60. Perk can not be used if you are the last survivor or times out as if on final hook.

Killer perk
Rocked.
Hitting a survivor from the back causes their vision to become distorted and colourless. If the survivor uses an exhaustion perk while rocked their balance becomes unstable and they drop any items they're carrying (similar effect to killers get while carrying wigglers). While rocked the survivor will need to complete a skill check. Failing the skill check will make the survivor fall over while they recover.
4/8/12 seconds.

Survivor Perk
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures:
Pressing the action button will put you into the injured state and clear the Exhausted status effect
You become broken for 40/35/30 seconds
Yes, I did think this up from when I ran Dead Hard with an infinite tier 3 Myers

Survivor perk: While on the hook your teammates gain these effects
15%/20%/25% repair rate and healing speed, and a 20% increase of the time it takes to go into struggle
and while in struggle your teammates gain 5% speed and a 25% unhook speed
after being unhooked, this perk has a 150 second cooldown, and you are afflicted with the broken status effect for 60 seconds
The repair rate and healing speed are not gained during struggle phase
Killer perk: Each time a survivor has been hit from healthy to injured gain a stack
Each stack gives you a 8% increase in vaulting, hooking, and breaking speeds
loose a stack once you hook a survivor
you can have up to 4/6/8 stacks at a time

Perk: Moldy parts
The entity is sick and tired of the old games and pallets left alone. It is time for some fun.
Dropped pallets will have a 40/50/60% chance of getting inflicted with the mold effect. Pallets that do have this effect will show signs of mold infection. Any interagtion with a moldy pallet will instantly break it. Exeption: The killer still has to break the pallet, tho the time needed is reduced by 30/35/40%.
(I think it would be funny to see in-game but also...those pallets are laying there for litually ages)

•Death of a Follower: A leader’s mistake can ruin their followers. A cruel cycle of toxic loyalty.
+You become obsessed with one survivor. Whenever the obsession rescues a survivor off a hook or from your grasp, this perk gains a token. Each time this perk gains a token, the aura of all survivors are revealed to you for 3/4/5 seconds. At 7 tokens, you gain the ability to kill any survivor besides your obsession. If the obsession dies, this perk deactivates. You can only be obsessed with one survivor at a time.

•Ballad of the Fallen: Their screams echo, adding to the ever growing symphony that rings through the void.
+Each time a survivor is hooked, this perk gains a token. For each token, gain a permanent 0.5% increase to movement speed. For 30/45/60 seconds after hooking a survivor, your normal movement speed is set to 125%.
-“I crave for the music once more, it only takes blood and pain as payment.”
•Overreached: You can feel yourself jump forward for any attack, but the rush only leaves you exhausted.
+All of your attacks reach slightly (0.5 meters) more. However, you recover 35/30/25% slower from these attacks.
-“The pain is only for the moment, it is the thrill of my torturous cuts that make it all worth it.”

Survivor: Chance Escape: When you get picked up by the killer, there is a %20 chance of wiggling off instantly. If the survivor wiggles off, they then get a %20 increased speed buff for 1/2/3 seconds but suffers the Exhaustion effect for 60/45/30 seconds. Can only be used once per trial.
Killer: Smooth Criminal: When one generator remains, all survivors are punished with the Oblivious effect for 60/75/90 seconds.
Both perks are really useful in specific situations!

•Accused: It is your turn to inflict the suffering of those wrongfully convicted.
+This perk gains 3/4/5 tokens. When a survivor is broken, their aura is shown to you. You are able to completely remove the broken status effect and heal them fully at the cost of a token.

Killer Perk: Spine Chilling
All survivors are under the influence of the cold weather. Once the players maxouts the bar (similar to the mend bar), they will be affected by the Spine Chilling status effect making progress on healing, working, sabotaging, etc...
Only way to remove this effect is by standing near a campfire (like barrels) around the map to warm up.

Theme: Hunter/Survivalist
•Woodland Guise: You are skilled with sneaking around unseen especially to capture what once had been prey.
+When sneaking while healthy, you are able to run and move at 100% movement speed. However, your scratch marks are 30/25/20% closer together and you are unable to rush vault.
-“A crouched run is much more clumsy than one would think but it is about the lack of visibility that makes it special.”
•Tracking: The remnants of your predators lead a sure path to safety.
+You are able to see a trail of scratch marks left by the killer in blue. These marks disappear 50/40/30% faster than normal scratch marks made by survivors.
-“We leave trails of pain and fear, while the beasts carve paths of blood and torment.”

+While healthy, you are 15/20/25% faster at healing, unhooking, sabotaging, cleansing, unlocking chests, and opening exit gates. However, increases the frequency of skill checks during skilled actions by 33%.
-“This may work but it isn’t going to be easy to do.”

This is one from a chapter concept I'm working on (https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/174316/chapter-concept-deadly-bloom)
Survivor perk:
Blank Canvas (the survivor is a hipster artist, who loves to paint)
- After unhooking a survivor Blank Canvas activates. Once Blank Canvas is activated press the active ability button while running to create a trail of scratch marks and blood trails too if you're injured, in the direction you're looking at, the trail travels 8/10/12 meters from you, within 3 seconds. When this is activated you leave no scratch marks and blood trails until the illusionary trail reaches its maximum distance.
(Also gonna include one killer perk from the same concept cause why not 😋)
Killer perk:
Hex: Evil Takes Root (killers theme is a parasitic plant monster)
- The root of all evil bears bittersweet fruit. Whenever a survivor finishes repairing a generator the next time they begin repairing a generator the entity will block the generator for 40/50/60 seconds and survivors near the generator have their aura revealed for 10 seconds.
- Every time this effect triggers all other generators in the trial instantly lose 15% of their progress.
- When the exit gates switches are powered the entity blocks them for 40/50/60 seconds.

For Killers: They're Getting Away!
Despite your best efforts to please the Entity, it has found you lacking. Against it's better judgement, it intervenes.

I, unfortunately, have an obsession with coming up with new perks. I have over 50 ideas written down in a Word document!
But I don't want to bore you - so here's one for the Killer, and one for Survivor!
Killer-
· Hex: Self Doubt
While this totem is active, all dull totems emit light as if they were Hex totems and make audio cues
when cleansed. Every time a totem is cleansed, all other totems appear as Dull totems for 30/45/60
seconds.
Survivor-
· Meddler
Cleansing a Dull Totem disables Hex Totems for 30 seconds. During this time, survivor's auras are
concealed from the killer.

•Greedy: You’d rather have more than less.
+While holding an item, you are able to pick up another one. To switch between items, press the active ability button. These two items will leave the trial with you if you escape. While carrying two items, you are 35/30/25% slower out of chase.
