Power: Poker hand

when you spawn into a trial eight cards will also spawn in; the cards are randomly chosen. Each card has a unique effect. you may use a card on a downed survivor, hooking the survivor ends the effect. A survivor can put the card used on them in a card shuffler to end the effect. The killer can only have up to three cards at a time. A survivor can only be affected by one card at a time.

The killer can get more cards by interacting with a card shuffler. (Max of Three cards)

  • Ace of Spades) The survivor cannot hit great skill checks
  • Two of Clubs) Makes the survivor go against a Russian roulette (1/6 chance of being Moried)
  • Three of Hearts) Makes the survivor see hallucinations of other survivors
  • Four of Diamonds) Puts the survivor in first person for one minute
  • Five of Spades) Creates a fart cloud that only the afflicted survivor can see
  • Six of Spades) Gives the survivor a wizard hat
  • Seven of Hearts) Skill checks go counterclockwise for the survivor
  • Eight of Spades) Inverted terror radius for survivor
  • Nine of Clubs) Makes all totems appear as hex totems for the survivor
  • Ten of Spades) The survivor will hear loud explosions for fifteen seconds
  • Jack of Hearts) Does nothing to the survivor
  • Queen of Clubs) Gives the survivor a special item that has no purpose other than to waste space
  • King of Diamonds) Gives hindered until gotten rid of by the survivor

    Honestly I love this idea. The card effects are silly and interesting, and would definitely result in fun matches. However, I don't wanna sound like a purist here, but the idea really lacks horror. I know Dead by Daylight is less of a horror game now, but the characters still hold a semblance of horror. Maybe I just don't have the full story for this character for the power to have horrifying implications, but still a very great and fun idea nonetheless!!

    I like to leave certain parts up to everyone else so it's a community project. if you want you can write the backstory or make the addons.

    My inspirations for the killer power were gambling, the idea is that the killer is always taking a gamble that the effect would cause problems for the survivor. For example, if you were affected by the three of hearts what would you do? what about if you were affected by the four of diamonds and you were on a generator?

    Cool concept, love the chance to get a random wizard hat thats just for cosmetic. I would love for the chance to say "you shall not pass" and then get downed by the killer lol.
