Summary:

You are a long ranged shooter who never misses a shot.

Attack: Basic

Defense: None

Unique Role: Yes

Abilities:

'''So does the Godfather order it? If not, change the wording.'''
 * Snipe the target you have been commanded to kill.

Attributes:

Extremely swingy, seems like the Ambusher but reverse.
 * You will have to set up your gun on top of a player’s house.
 * You cannot set up your gun if your target is visited.

'''Sorry buddy, no Mafia members are supposed to have astral visits, whether it relates to the role lore or not. It negates Spies and every single role that relies on visits in the game.'''
 * Your attack is astral.

'''Erm....no. Just keep it as Mafioso.'''
 * If you are the last standing, you will become the.

Also, I guess he can't chat with the Mafia either.

Mechanics:

'''Uhhhh...we don't need a Bodyguard nerf. And this makes no sense if a HM bypasses a BG when they have the Astral ability.'''
 * If your target is being protected by a, the will die protecting without killing you.

'''Wait, WHAT? They get DAY ABILITIES or two selections? YOU NEED TO DESCRIBE THIS! Also, NO. Do NOT do this. What if your Mafioso/GF is AFK?'''
 * You will visit the target if they have no visitors and then deal an astral attack to the player commanded by the or.

...what?
 * If you visit the ’s or ’s target, you will do a standard night attack.


 * Although your attack is astral, visiting your target is not, meaning that a can track you to the player you set up at.

'''So....it makes it useless. Mafia Killing should be able to kill each night. Ambusher CAN kill each night, yet relies on visits. Stuff like that. This is just stupid since the Mafia can't do ANYTHING.'''
 * If no one can command you a target to snipe (ex. jailed or role blocked with no ), you cannot attack.

-Investigative Results-



Your target is suspicious!

'''just "suspicious." for later use'''



Your target could be a, , , or Sniper.

Poisoner?

//:

Your target is an extremely skilled marksman hired by the Mafia. They must be a Sniper!

Oh so it's Coven AND Classic...

Goal:

Kill anyone who doesn’t submit to the.

Wins With:

Standard

Must Kill:

Standard

Mafia Killing roles aren't generally accepted due to the fact the Mafia doesn't need a 3 KPN each night at this point and are supposed to rely on deceiving and messing up the votes of the Town, and not kill them directly.

'''​​​​​​​All Mafia roles should not have an astral ability whatsoever. It's so goddamn overpowered and it's the reason why only a HM has it. Yet, they only get it when they receive the Necronomicon and can only target one person. Bypassing EVERY VISITING ROLE is EXTREMELY overpowered for a MAFIA role. All Mafia roles VISIT THEIR TARGETS. Why would this one suddenly NOT visit. Lore isn't an issue here, the game has an overpowered effect in gameplay.'''
