What if survivors had their own unique abilities?

I spent too much time writing this thing. This is a hypothetical scenario where like killers, survivors have their own unique passive abilities. The perks in question would be removed as teachable perks, all other perks become universal. There are, after all, way too many perks in this game and they need to be condensed. The Exhaustion effect is also carried over into the abilities, forcing players to take caution when using Exhaustion perks on Survivors who already have abilities that cause it.
