Aliment: Mafia.

Unique: yes.

Attack: Absolute(ignores defenses of all kind.)(can kill pestilence)

... This better have a serious nerf in order to justify an attack like this.

Defense: Powerful.

'''Okay, the ability better wipe out, like, the entire mafia to justify an attack and defense like this. '''

Requirement: a mafioso must kill a unique role which will give them a fell contact town will be notified of this and you will become a Hitman the next day. (town will be notified that the mafioso has become a hitman.)

Requirement 2: the godfather and one mafioso or ambusher must be alive for days 4days. (mafioso will become hitman the following night if they choose to use the fell contact if not the ambusher gets the chance to become a hitman the next night)

Requirement 3: the godfather is killed or lynched day 2.(mafioso will get a fell contact and become a hitman the following night)

Requirement note: the mafioso may choose to become a hitman or not if not the fell contact will be burned and they can never get a chance to become the role again.

Abilities/Attributes: you may choose a target at night to kill. (you will get a list of 3-5 players to kill. you cannot kill a player who isn't in this contact that you visit.)(members in your team will never be on the list)

○if anyone visits your target they will die.(only works if the person who visited is a bodyguard,doc or killing role) ○if your target is protected by a bodyguard only the bodyguard will be killed. (they can't kill you)

○you cannot be role blocked.

○if arso tries to douse you they will be killed.

○the spy and lookout will not know who you visit.

○if you are investigated you will have the results of a spy.

○ if the godfather dies you will die the following night. (if there's no godfather you will be told which mafia member has to stay alive for your contact to not be void)

○If a vig shoots you they will be countered by your victim as a shield and killed. (if you killed someone the vig will shoot them instead)

○if a sheriff investigates you everyone will know your identity.(you will appear not sus if you are ordered to kill someone)

○you cannot kill a medium if you visit them they're purity  will make u protect them for 2 nights(medium will now be able to win with maf in exchange of losing with town)(if medium dies when you are protecting them you will die)(other mafia members will be able to attack when this ability is triggered)

○other mafia killing roles cannot kill a target.

○ follow the godfather's orders. (the godfather can only command you two times)(this is in case the players in question aren't really important to kill at the time so the godfather can make you kill someone who isn't on your list)

Gosh time to rework this role abit This role is absurdly and unapologetically overpowered as all heck. The fact is that the conditions for becoming a Hitman are too easy, the Hitman itself is too powerful, and the nerf that is offered does absolutely nothing to actually nerf the role. You are given at least of at least three people that are guaranteed to die because... Absolute attack... and meanwhile you have a better defense than even the Godfather.

I'm not actually sure if this can be salvaged, but if you want to you will need to turn the knob of overpoweredness way down.
