Lots more rules for killers to follow.. hmm..
Agitation 5 May @ 7:54pm 
Rule 3157: Any time a survivor refers to something as a "tech" it is automatically an impressive feat that the killer must respect.
Rule 3157-B: Anything considered a "tech" is also no longer an exploit, but a legitimate tactic that the killer must respect.
