Idea to help Wilson fight powercreep

[aidankocherhans]

Even as early as reign of giants, Wilson has lost a lot of the value from his beard with winter being a smaller part of the game, and with the downsides of the strong characters in Together becoming increasingly negligible, I think he could use a boost for his beard.

My idea is for the skill tree to give you the option to groom your beard, into an umbrella like style that gives some wetness protection, and a style that gives some overheating protection (and nullifies the negative summer insulation). This one could even use magic to flap like wings to cool you down.

This would help better fit the role he seemed intended for in the beginning, someone who can get through the rougher seasons a bit easier, and it would remove the problem of the beard part of the skill tree having poor synergy with summer. 

This could replace the second and third tier of the insulation tree (or part of the torch tree if that ends up getting reworked)

Wilson was only the "starter" character in DS, and even then Wagstaff was now available too. And players can choose whoever they want to play (aside from the DLC characters) in DST.

The thing that irks me about Wilson's skill tree is the amount of unnecessary fillers. Like why do torch tree (the stupid as hell idea no one even thinks as good, even up till today) HAS THREE TIERS FOR EACH BRIGHTNESS AND DURABILITY????? NOT TO MENTION THE ONLY "SPECIAL" PERK AT THE END OF IT WAS A MERE TORCH TOSS. AND ONLY WORKS FOR ONE GODDAMN ITEM.

Like, God. Those three tiers can be just condensed into TWO TIERS. Hell, if the whole torch tree was changed into the light sources tree, then all the better. The beard perks too, can be cut down to 2 tiers.

There is SO MANY MISSED OPPORTUNITIES that Klei could've implemented onto his skill tree; I just hope they will consider to rework the whole thing and put perks that ACTUALLY FIT HIS CHARACTER.
