Survivor Stats Concept

I was just thinking, what if survivors had stats. The survivor side of the meta needs some shaking up, and it could be a way to shake it up without touching perks, and change up what survivors you see. Survivor stats also show some character without having to wait for a tome. I just thought it would be fun to brainstorm. and of course, exact values could be changed for balance reasons, or to keep it so that all survivors play more similarly to one another. Either way, here's what I had in mind.

Stats

Strength - A survivor’s physical prowess. Affects their wiggle time, Pallet stun duration, Head-On Stun duration, chance to self-unhook, and unhook speed.

Temperament - How well a survivor works with others. Affects their cooperative action speeds, and size of normal and great skill check success zones while cooperating.

Luck - How much fortune favors a survivor. Affects the rarity of chest items the find, the chance of getting a skill check, size of great skill check success zones, and chance to self-unhook.

Stamina - A survivor’s physical fortitude. Affects Exhaustion recovery rate, recovery speed, and the Hook Timer. 

Readiness - How well a survivor takes to life in The Fog completing objectives. Affects action speeds. 

Deftness- The skills a survivor has that will help them in chase. Affects vault speed and stagger.

Notes

Rating - Each stat is rated rated on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 is Very Poor, 2 is Poor, 3 is Average , 4 is Good, and 5 is Great. Average rating values are current in-game values unless otherwise stated.

Specifics

Strength - Unhooking cannot be quicker than .25 seconds. Base [Average] Wiggle Time is increased to 17 seconds. Current Great Wiggle Skill Check bonus still apply. Very Poor strength adds 2 seconds to Wiggle Time, Poor adds 1 second, Good subtracts 1 second, and Very Good subtracts 2 seconds. Pallet and Head-On stun duration remains unchanged at 2 seconds for the default [Average]. Very Poor reduces stun duration by 0.5 seconds, Poor reduces it by .25 seconds, Good increases it by .25 seconds, and Very Good increased it by .5 seconds. Chance to Self-Unhook remains at 4% [Average]. Very poor reduces the chance by 1%, Poor by .5%, Good increases it by .5%, and Great by 1%. Average Unhook Speed is the current 1 second. Very poor increases that speed by .5 seconds, poor by .25 seconds, Good decreases it by .25 seconds, and Great by .5 seconds. 

Temperament - Survivors with Very Poor Temperament suffer a 25% speed penalty to any cooperative actions they perform. [EX: While performing cooperative actions, they will work at .75 c/s.] Skill check success zones are reduced by 50% while cooperating with others. Survivors with Poor Temperament suffer a 17.5% Penalty to any cooperative actions they perform. Skill check success zones are reduced by 25% while cooperating with others. Survivors with Good Temperament receive a 17.5% bonus to any cooperative actions they perform. Skill check success zones are increased by 25% while cooperating with others. Survivors with Very Good Temperament receive a 25% bonus to any cooperative actions they perform. Skill check success zones are increased by 50% while cooperating with others.

Luck - Survivors with Very Poor Luck are very unlikely to find any items beyond the Uncommon rarity in chests [with the exception of event items], have great skill check success zones reduced by 25% [percents are multiplicative with regards to determining skill check success zone sizes], are very likely to receive skill checks, and are 2% less likely to self-unhook. Survivors with Poor Luck are very unlikely to find items beyond the Common rarity, have great skill check success zones reduced by 17.5%, are likely to receive skill checks, and are 1% less unlikely to self-unhook. Survivors with Average Luck are unlikely to find items beyond the Rare rarity, have great skill check success zones increased by 10%, and receive skill checks at an average rate. Survivors with Good Luck are more likely to find items beyond the Rare rarity, have great skill check success zones increased by 17.5%, are not likely to receive skill checks, and have an increased 1% chance to self-unhook. Survivors with Great Luck are more likely to find items beyond the Very Rare rarity, have great skill check success zones increased by 25%, are very unlikely to receive skill checks, and have an increased 2% chance to self-unhook. [In the case of The Pig, more lucky survivors will be more likely to be the survivor that only needs to check one Jigsaw box, while more unlucky survivors will be more likely to be the survivor that needs to check four boxes.]

Stamina - The Exhaustion timer no longer sets to 0 when hooked. [Vigil may need to be changed to not effect Exhaustion, nerfed to effect exhaustion at a lower rate, or only effect the exhaustion timer while it is above a certain threshold.] Decisive Strike and Power Struggle now cause Exhaustion for 40 seconds. [Will still activate even if the Survivor is Exhausted, behaves like Adrenaline.] Adrenaline now causes Exhaustion for 20 seconds, but reduces exhaustion by 10 seconds if its timer is greater than or equal to 40 seconds. Survivors with Very Poor Stamina recover from Exhaustion 50% slower, recover 10% slower, and their hook timer for each stage is reduced by 10 seconds. Survivors with Poor Stamina recover from Exhaustion 25 % slower, recover 5% slower, and their hook timer for each stage is reduced by 5 seconds. Survivors with Good Stamina recover from Exhaustion 10 seconds quicker, recover 5% quicker, and their hook timer for each stage is increased by 5 seconds. Survivors with Great Stamina recover from Exhaustion 50%  quicker, recover 10% quicker, and their hook timer for each stage is increased by 10 seconds.

Readiness- Action speeds include Repairing, Cleansing, Healing, and killer related actions such as searching Jigsaw boxes and destroying Demogorgon portals. Survivors with Very Poor Readiness have their action speeds reduced by 10%, and survivors with Poor Readiness have it reduced by 5%. Survivors with Good Readiness have their action speeds increased by 5%, and Survivors with Very Good Readiness have it increased by 10%. 

Deftness- Stagger can only be reduced by a maximum of 75%. Survivors with Very Poor Deftness receive a vaulting speed penalty of 10% and stagger is increased by 25%. Survivors with Very Poor Deftness receive a vaulting speed penalty of 5% and stagger is increased by 17.5%. Survivors with Good Deftness receive a vaulting speed bonus of 5% and stagger is decreased by 17.5%.  Survivors with Great Deftness receive a vaulting speed bonus of 10% and stagger is decreased by 25%. 

Examples - And here's some examples of what the stats would look like and some reasoning for them. I kept the stat total range in the 16-18 range, but that could perhaps be bumped up to 17-19 since a survivor in the current game would score 18 with a 3 across the board, and balancing around that number sense. And of course, these are just my own interpretations and opinions.

Dwight - Dwight’s stats, as his perks do, reflect his reliance on others. But, there is strength in that reliance. It brings out the best in all, himself included. This is well reflected in his Temperament and Readiness. He is a leader, and has been shown to get along well with others, like Rose and his other co-workers, and can behave well enough around less savory people and tolerate them to their face, such as Lazar. Readiness reflects his ever changing life, jumping from job to job after college [if such can be assumed by his cosmetics], and how well he seems to adjust. As for his poorer stats, he seems to have rather bad luck, never actually finding a steady job and the drug giving Lazar a very bad trip as opposed to an afternoon date with a restroom. There isn’t much to indicate strength and stamina, in his stories or appearance. Deftness and stamina are low for a similar reason, but there isn’t any reason to consider it so low, and he needs the points. Overall, his stats play into his reliance on others. He’s relatively poor at chase, and is unlikely to escape the killer’s grasp or a hook without the help of another.

Claudette - Over all rather rounded. Have you ever done yard work or worked with plants? If you’re doing more involved work, you need some muscle. For someone as interested in botany, I imagine she would have the strength necessary for her interest.  Stamina is average because her interest can be physically demanding and time consuming, but might not always be. Luck is average because there is nothing to indicate it swings one way or the other. Readiness is low because she is heavily implied to be autistic. Routine is key to many autistics, and while trials are routine in their nature, they are a major deviation to her routine. [And according to current lore, memories are reset upon death. She can’t make this her new routine.] She laments and detests the pain and suffering of a trial, but her strong desire to help and apply her skills pushes her Readiness from a 1 to a 2. Deftness is low to keep her total in check, as is readiness to a degree. 

Jake - Strength is high because he did live out in the wilderness on his own, hunting and such. We see him hanging that hog in his tome lore, so that should be self explanatory. His readiness is high because he had adapted to the wilderness well enough, all the way from a pampered life of a wealthy family enough to survive, but there is nothing else to indicate it should be higher like Dwight. [And Dwight has to stand out somehow.] Stamina and deftness are average because of his time in the wild, but only average because he really didn’t seem totally like an expert at it. Temperament is low because he doesn’t seem to get along with anyone. He even isolated himself from his family. Luck is low to keep his total in check and he honestly doesn’t seem all that lucky,

Meg - As an avid and talented runner, it’s obvious that she has good stamina and deftness. Nothing in her lore to indicate a poor or good temperament. Strength is low because she is just a runner, not a swimmer or weightlifter. She has some muscle, but definitely not a lot. Luck and readiness are low to keep her total in check. [Sorry i didn't write more for her, Meg fans. Mind blank for her.]

Nea - her low strength is clear as we can see from her physique. Almost all skin and bone despite being very active. Urban Evasion and her active lifestyle running around tagging and evading capture are reflected in her high stamina and deftness. Her evasion of capture must also involve some degree of luck, which is why it’s also high. Her temperament is low because she is selfish and seems to lack empathy. Many will not like her because of that. Readiness is low to keep her total in check. [With three stats ranking high, the others had to take a hit.] Overall, she’s ready for a chase and if things go south or needs a little boost with a good item, she has her luck. Her luck would also pair well with Streetwise

David - His high strength, Stamina, and Deftness are the result of his years playing Rugby and and his active lifestyle. And much like Nea, his other stats will suffer to keep his total in check. Temperament’s very low score is the most reasonable of his low scores. While altruistic, he’s irritable, quick to chose violence, and terrible with his emotions. Officially described as an #########, and his personality certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. While Tristan and his friendship with Rik indicates he can be agreeable, loveable even, such a side of his is a rare one to see. Luck can be reasoned to be low because his life kinda sucks, and luck could play a role in that. Readiness is at a 2 because, like Claudette, while he his smart, he detests the nature of trials. He is altruistic. He wants to help save people, not sit on a generator. He wants to be in a chase and make the killer become filled with annoyance and rage since he cannot beat them up. “Distraught and broken. Maybe not by body, but by mind.” Being largely powerless to prevent the suffering of the other survivors takes a toll on him more than he will show, or perhaps even know. 

Laurie - The OG Final Girl. A well rounded, high stat line is befitting of her. She deserves it. Strength is low because she is a teenage girl, and there isn’t anything to indicate she works out or anything. Temperament is higher because she has a solid friend group, indicating she’s sociable, if perhaps awkward or more straight-laced than the average teen, and was a trusted local babysitter. Seemed to be liked by the kids also. Luck is also higher, because how else are you gonna survive Michael Myers?

Ace - Probably the only Survivor who will have a luck stat of 5. At least he’ll always have a niche. I don’t need to explain why that’s a 5. Strength and stamina are a reflection of that time he fought an MMA Lightweight champion and lasted 5 minutes with her. That probably wasn’t all luck, but by god did it require all his luck. Temperament is average because he seems to be pretty charismatic, but its probably hit or miss. It’s easy to imagine some people not liking him. Perhaps too cocky, to annoying. Deftness is low because he evidently sucks at fighting, which would require some deftness. It and readiness are low to keep his total in check. 

Well, that's that from me. I'd love to hear what other people think, so don't be shy! And remember, this was made in good fun, nothing to be taken so seriously.
