Dead By Daylight: Character Concepts

Sam

Sam

"The Trick-or-Treater"

Overview

Sam is the spirit of Halloween night, symbolizing both its innocent whimsy and underlying darkness. He appears in a different town every year on Halloween night, ensuring that the Halloween spirit is kept alive and punishing those who would ignore or defy the ancient traditions, often in a sadistic and ironic fashion tailored specifically to his targets.

Lore

Sam visits a town every year on Halloween night and appears to enforce the rules of Halloween, punishing those who ignore and defy them. The rules include handing out candy to Trick or Treaters, wearing a costume and never blowing out jack o' lanterns before the midnight hour arrives. As the enforcer of these rules, Sam takes it upon himself to punish those who break tradition, agreeing to join the Entity reign if he gets to make sure Halloween is never broken ever again.

Power

Halloween Spirit

Whenever a Survivor breaks a tradition, those who don't follow them will experience the following outcomes.

Special Ability: Always Give Survivors Candy: Each Survivor who refuses to give another a Flashlight, Med-Kit, Key, or Toolbox will have a 20% penalty in Repairing, Sabotaging, Healing, and Cleansing Action speed.

Every time the Survivor, who doesn't perform actions in the Altruism Category, uses a Med-Kit upon reaching the Healthy State, they return to the Injured State and will vomit at random.

The Survivor must perform one action in the Altruism Category to recover from Sickness/Injured State.

Special Weapon: Bitten Lollipop: A tasty jack-o-lantern lollipop half-bitten into a deadly shiv.

Special Ability: Never Blow Out a Jack-o-Lantern: When a Survivor comes in close contact with a jack-o-lantern, their auras will be revealed to you for 3 seconds. If a Survivor breaks a jack-o-lantern, The Trick-or-Treater will be notified of their location and can choose to teleport to it.

Special Ability: Respect the Dead: If a Survivor fails to rescue the hooked Survivor from second Hook Stage or Bleeding Out, The Trick-or-Treater can choose to raise that Survivor into a Zombie, causing them to pursue that Survivor for the remainder of the trial.

When the Zombie is stunned by a Pallet, Flashlight, or Flash Grenade, the stun will last for 20 seconds, and the Zombie will continue to pursue the Survivor that failed to save them previously.

Perks

Happy Halloween

"The one night a year where we can pretend to be the scariest thing we think of."

The Obsession will suffer Exposed Status Effect for 10/20/30 seconds and their auras will be revealed to you for 4/5/6 seconds whenever they drop a Pallet, rush out of a Locker, drop a Flash Grenade, or flicker a Flashlight in the air within 15 meters of any Survivor's range. Happy Halloween can be triggered once for every 80/50/30 seconds.

Jack O' Lantern's Flame

"Never extinguish the flame of a jack-o'-lantern before midnight."

After damaging a generator, when the survivors return to repair it, 3 different skill checks will appear on their screen, only one of which is correct. If the skill check is not performed correctly, or is mistaken for one of the other 2, the generator will be blocked for 30 seconds and the killer will be alerted of their current position.

Scourge Hook: Season's Givings

"This was a great idea, honey. Really. It's just magical. It makes me wish every night was Halloween."

Four random hooks in the trial have been replaced by scourge hooks, as well as the basement hooks. When a survivor is successfully sacrificed on one of these scourge hooks, the hook will not break nor will the survivor be taken by the entity. Instead the body will be left on the hook. No further survivors can be sacrificed on that hook, but if a survivor walks within 5 meters of the hook, they will scream and reveal their location for 3/4/5 seconds. All bodies on hooks will be claimed by the entity at the end of the trial.
