FREDDY REWORK IDEA!!

So I had an idea for Freddy. They get rid of how Freddy is only in the dreamworld and put him in the regular world. His power would be still putting people in the dreamworld, but it would be like a bar, like Freddy had to hold the dream thing on you for like 5 seconds or something, then, when in the dreamworld, survivors repair 50% slower and move 10% or so slower, once in the dreamworld, you can only get out by another survivor not in dreamworld, or by missing a skill check. If Freddy has only it you half to sleep though, things that require concentration like healing or doing gens would slowly wake you up. Also if you are in. The dreamworld and out of his terror radius, he can see your aura. So freddy does not have to put people in the dreamworld to hit them, but it would be useful to him

    This is a half decent idea but it doesn't go far enough and it doesn't fit the lore or make Freddy that interesting of a Killer. Let me give my spin on it.

    Freddy is still always in the Dream world. Freddy can pull survivors into the Dream World, but rather than a simple right click triggering a countdown, it would require a channel to increase a survivor's sleepiness. While under the effect of the channel, the foggy white outline would appear on the survivor.

    There are five stages of sleepiness, with the last one fully pulling you into the Dream World and exposing you to the true horror that is Freddy Krueger

    • Stage 1 - 1 Second
      A Survivor in this stage heals, repairs, and sabotages with a 15% reduction in speed. Freddy cannot hit Survivors in Stage 1. Survivors cannot see Freddy while in Stage 1. After 30 seconds, the Survivor will fall out of Stage 1. Missing a Skill Check will instantly Wake Up a Survivor. The Survivor's aura is not revealed to Freddy outside of his Terror Radius.

    • Stage 2 - 4 Seconds
      A Survivor in this stage heals, repairs, and sabotages with a 25% reduction in speed. Freddy cannot hit the Survivor. Survivors see periodic glimpses of Freddy while within his Terror Radius. After 30 seconds, the Survivor will fall out of Stage 2 into Stage 1. Missing a Skill Check will also have this effect. The Survivor's aura is not revealed to Freddy outside of his Terror Radius.

    • Stage 3 - 7 Seconds
      A Survivor in this stage heals, repairs, and sabotages with a 50% reduction in speed. Freddy is now fully visible with a normal heartbeat Terror Radius and can hit the Survivor. Hooking a survivor in Stage 3 will regress them to Stage 2. Other Survivors can Wake Up Survivors in Stage 3, causing them to regress 2 levels to Stage 1. Missing a Skill Check will also have this effect. The Survivor's aura is revealed to Freddy outside of his Terror Radius.

    • Stage 4 - 10 Seconds
      A Survivor in this stage heals, repairs, and sabotages with a 50% reduction in speed and suffers moderately from the Hindered status effect. Hooking a Survivor in Stage 4 will cause them to regress to Stage 3. Other Survivors can Wake Up Survivors in Stage 4, causing them to regress 2 levels to Stage 2. Missing a Skill Check will also have this effect. The Survivor's aura is revealed to Freddy outside of his Terror Radius.

    • Stage R.E.M. - 13 Seconds
      A Survivor in this stage is fully asleep and cannot perform any actions, suffers moderately from the Hindered status effect, and cannot fast vault through windows or pallets. Hooking a Survivor in Stage R.E.M. will cause them to regress to Stage 4. The Survivor's aura is revealed to Freddy outside of his Terror Radius. A Survivor can only be removed from the R.E.M. state by another Survivor using the Wake Up action, causing them to regress to Stage 4.

    Only one Survivor can be in the R.E.M. state at a time.

    I should note that these channel times are additive. If Freddy channels on a survivor for 5 seconds and puts them into Stage 2, it will only take an additional 2 seconds (total of 7) of channeling to put them in Stage 3. If they fall back into Stage 1, it would only take 3 seconds to put them into Stage 2, not 4 (which is the total).

    My poor Freddy is getting talked about behind his back. This is a sad day for Freddy mains everywhere.

    (Although I am good at Freddy, he has not surpassed my Michael Myers main, and is therefore not worthy of my profile picture)
