Potential Rework for Power Struggle

I don't know how other people feel about this perk, but personally, I have big problems with it. It's one of those perks that basically won't do anything in the course of regular play (outside of fluke chance scenarios), but that you can build into for an excessively annoying strategy to face— like Boil Over, albeit admittedly not nearly as bad.

In the course of thinking about how to make this perk more reliable without making it broken, I had the following idea, which I'll format like a perk card:

  • After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Power Struggle activates
  • While Power Struggle is active, you can drop pallets while carried by the killer
  • Power Struggle deactivates upon performing a Conspicuous Action

So, in short, sort of a sidegrade to Decisive Strike. No timer and unlimited uses while it's active, but you have to actually be under a pallet every time the killer downs you, which may or may not be doable. On the flipside, it becomes impossible to abuse because of the Conspicuous Actions clause.

It does take away the Flip-Flop/Power Struggle synergy, but honestly, I don't think that synergy is especially healthy for the game. Maybe there'd be more pushback to that than can be waved away, but I think it'd be for the best.

What do we think?
