Walter's Woby skills should be replaced with something else.

[plisa]

First, since this was translated using ChatGPT, the wording might be a bit awkward.

The main issue with Walter’s current skills is that they focus solely on Woby and the slingshot. Is Woody’s skill limited only to Lucy? Is Wilson’s skill confined to his beard? The answer is no for both cases, but Walter’s is.

Thus, I suggest replacing Walter’s Woby skills with badge-related abilities tied to his Boy Scout background.

The badges I propose are non-stackable items that can be crafted at a badge station, similar to the current Woby Training Station. These badges take up one inventory slot, adding or enhancing specific abilities. Like Woby’s current skills, these badges have levels (up to level 3), which increase through specific actions. As the badge level increases, its effects improve.

This system would maintain the skill tree format but introduce new content.

 

Walter’s new skills would replace the existing Woby Training system with a badge station, allowing Walter to craft badges. The badge recipes would focus on survival-related enhancements, such as increased gathering speed or faster construction.

1. Walter-specific badges could include a Brave Badge that reduces the sanity loss penalty when taking damage, a Dandy Badge that adds additional benefits when wearing hats, and a Sleep Badge that enhances health and sanity recovery when sleeping in a tent, all of which would mitigate Walter’s existing penalties or enhance his unique abilities. 

2. Woby-related badges would include existing Woby skills like increased movement speed or digging abilities, essentially moving all current Woby-related skills into this badge category.

3. Exploration-related badges could include a Bright Eyes Badge that expands the revealed area on the map and a Scent Badge that lets Woby sniff out specific items or structures within a range, similar to Wheeler’s compass, making exploration more efficient and convenient. 

4. Companion-related badges could include a Storyteller Badge that improves the effects of storytelling around campfires and a Friendly Badge that reduces the sanity drain aura for nearby friends, providing benefits to allies and fostering cooperation. 

5. Miscellaneous badges could include other creative ideas yet to be conceptualized.

I propose this.
