Summary: You are the pastor of the church of salem

Alignment: Town Support, Unique.

Abilities:

You can choose to bless one person each night.

'''Attack: none. Defense: none.'''

this should be beofre Alignment and Abilities but after Summary

Attributes:

You visit a person to bless them.

'''If they are doused, they will no longer be doused. The arsonist, priest, and target will know they they are no longer doused.'''

i don't like this already, it diretly counter arsonist

If you visit the arsonist, he will douse you and his target.

'''If you visit a vigilante who shot a town member the night before, they will be purged of sin and will not kill themself. '''

'''ALTERNATIVE: They won’t kill themself, but they’ll throw out their gun and won’t be able to attack anymore. They will essentially become a town member with no abilities.'''

either is fine, but this is not the most pressing part of the role

If you visit a serial killer, no matter what, he will kill you and his target/roleblocker.

it counter one NK but it loses directly to another? no. this is balance issues.

'''If you bless any member of the mafia, they will be roleblocked. If you block a mafia killing, the next mafia killing will kill the target for that night. If there is one mafia killing left and they are roleblocked, they will kill the priest.'''

''this is a lot of direct countering. a role should be a unique ability that performs their ability each night. this whole praising, there's no connection between what praising does for each role. If you praise maf they get a rb but a vig doesn't kill themself? What's the corrolation. An invest will get one of three roles in each category for every role.''

'''If you visit a werewolf on a full moon night, you will be killed even if you weren’t involved in their rampage. If you visit a werewolf on a non-full moon night, nothing will happen.'''

same thing

'''ALTERNATE: In the original draft, I thought that if the priest visited him on a non-full moon night, he would turn the werewolf into a survivor with 1 vest. Thoughts on this?'''

not good. changind alignments is not a good idea, and besides it's a direct counter.

A bodyguard cannot protect you, but a doctor can heal you.

'''Targeting yourself results in a repenting night, where you use the bless effect on yourself, in addition to gaining basic defense. You may only repent once.'''

this is an ability unique to tp. a ts should not be able to do this.

If you are doused, you will be told you have been doused.

wtf is all this arso hating, it's not like the arso is 'the devil', thematically it doesn't even make sense besides the fact that they burn down houses. But all the killing roles kill. The arsonist burns down, sure, but a werewolf mauls people. the serial killer directly kills people.

You are immune to roleblocks.

Sheriff results: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator results: Your target could be a bodyguard, godfather, priest, or arsonist.

"your target is not afraid to get their hands dirty". don't feel like that really fits. honestly none of the invest results fit, but I think "Lookout, Forger, Witch" aka, your target sticks in the shadows.

'''Consigliere results: Your target is the religious leader of the town. He must be a priest!'''

boring. "Your target is spreads and will die for their faith

Backstory:

'''Kneel before the might of God. The Priest is a wise old man, a former missionary. A way with words is what helped him convert a full village in the sahara. He often stood bias and the votes of evildoers, but he remembers the town doesn’t have the final judgement. God does. His motive is to rid the town of the sin that has corrupted it for God knows how long. However, the Priest is not a good, a mere servant. Evildoers watch him, waiting, to silence his words of peace and harmony before the lord. The old man says a prayer each morning for the wayward souls of Salem, and leads the ceremony of executing a town member, breathing the simple, impactful words each time:'''

“May God have mercy on your soul.”

i hope you continue to make roles on the wiki, and I'm sorry for the bashing. but this role is a hardcore no for me.
