Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-28092296-20180730191016

This role was made as a ‘balanced’ “roleblock visitors” idea.

Bushranger - Mafia (Support)

Attack: None Defence: None

Abilities: Visit somebody. You will threaten one person that visits your target (except for mafia).

Attributes: People will be immune to threats the night after they were threatened.

Threatening Ability: A random visitor’s ability will be blocked. The person that is threatened will still be counted as visiting their target, but their ability won’t go through. (Ex: Bodyguard visits Veteran; the bodyguard doesn’t give the veteran defence but is still susceptible to alert mechanics)

If a killing role is threatened, the Bushranger will be attacked (Ex: Arsonist would douse the bushranger; Vigilante would shoot the Bushranger). Vampire Hunters, Pirates, Astral Hex Masters and Pestilence would ignore this.

The bushranger cannot select mafia members to visit.

Investigation Results Sheriff: Mafia Investigator: Your target could be a Survivor, Vampire Hunter, Amnesiac, Psychic, Medusa or Bushranger. Reveal: Your target uses threats to manipulate others. They must be a bushranger.

Goal: Same as Mafia

Additional Notes: This is a unique role. Hypnotists can send a new message: “You were threatened by a bushranger, so you went home.”
