Board Thread:Role Ideas (Other)/@comment-32421214-20170718005013/@comment-29253708-20170723180836

Well the thread was dead. You don't really need to ask a question about a rejected role, as it's obviously not going to be put into the game.

But I'll answer it anyway because I'm bored.

It's a nerfed Consig because of the fact that it receives a player's alignment, which branches off to roles. Roles, in this sense, are more exact than alignments.

For instance:

Town Support: One of four alignments in the Town, but it consists of five roles. The Identifier can find a person that comes up as Town Support to be five different roles, while the Consig can find someone to be a single, exact role.

You could argue that the Identifier is also a buffed Investigator. While both roles find multiple roles in their result, the Invest finds roles from all over the board of alignments and factions, and the Identifier finds roles from only one alignment.
