Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-72.201.29.68-20170512142415

I know Copycat is listed as a bad role, but the only thing this shares with that is name.

The Copycat must visit someone the night they die, and once they do this, they gain the ability to kill.

HOWEVER, their death message becomes that of the person they visited.

They are Night Immune.

They DO NOT break through night immunity, and they cannot kill the killer they cloned.

Example: Deodat Lawson is killed by Mafia. Same night,the Copycat visits Deodat Lawson. The night after, the Copycat can kill anyone, and it will say they died from Mafia.

Notable Weaknesses:

If they make their death message suicide from visiting a player who quit, it will be obvious what happened, because no one would have left the game.

They can never duplicate the Werewolf unless they were healed by doctor. They cannot kill N1

Death messages such as Jester's haunt, Arsonist incineration, or quitting are very obvious there is a Copycat versus another NK

Their inability to kill the Killer they duplicated is dangerous if they copied a Vigilante, Jailor, Mafioso, or other non-Night Immune Killer

They often need the town to lynch the person they copied as they themselves can not kill them.

Notable Strengths:

In Ranked, the lack of SK/WW kills makes the town suspicious of an Arsonist

Very good at concealing the existence of the role

Can kill every night except for the first

Investigative Results: Framer, Vampire, Copycat, or Jester

Very useful, because you can claim to be framed or claim jester

Sheriff: Not Suspicious

Consigliere: Your target is a fanatical killer. They must be a Copycat!

Any suggestions for it? It seems to be like the Serial Killer, but more stealthy, but with a few more weaknesses.

Examples: N1: John Proctor is killed by the Mafioso Abigail Williams. Copycat Giles Corey visits John Proctor. N2: Giles Corey visits a random town, and kills them. The town receives a message that the random town was killed by the Mafia. N3: Giles Corey attempts to attack Abigail Williams, but can not. N4: Giles Corey visits a random town who was killed by SK James Russel. N5: Giles Corey kills Mafioso Abigail Williams, who in the morning, is shown to have been killed by the Serial Killer.

The Copycat can easily frame people with its ability. If someone is under suspicion for being an SK or Mafia, killing their accuser as SK or Mafia will likely lead to there lynching.
