Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-38657687-20190228001815/@comment-27398195-20190228021111

The sniper as a role's concept is kinda iffy, you are a killer with 1 kill per night that has a powerful astral attack and no defense. Powerful attack isn't really as good as it seems, sure you CAN kill anyone with basic immunity, but the only roles that have basic immunity in a ranked match is the godfather (which the SK can also kill via ratting him out in his deathnote or waiting for town to lynch him) the witch (1 night immunity) who is an ally or the bodyguard, who's most likely going to be protecting other targets rather than using his vest.

NKs having no defense generally isn't good (Maybe temp defense but idk how that could work), as NKs generally work alone for most of the game, so having the ability to accidentally die early on due to mafia killing you isn't helpful for you OR them. Most mafia besides the Godfather don't have immunity because they have other members to fall back on. NKs don't have anything to fall back on (besides Amne but they don't exist in ranked).

Having an astral attack does help the sniper, but that only helps against spy and lookout along with the bodyguard and veteran. Those 3 roles while are threats don't help against killing roles such as Vig and Jailor, The investigator (3 evil v 1 town isn't very good odds for getting away.) The doctor (who grants people a powerful defense) and Escort (the silent killer of any NK role)

Possible changes:

-Find a way to make it less like the serial killer, an idea I have is to every night make it so they gain a sniper rifle bullet and can choose whenever it wants to use a sniper rifle or pistol. If he uses his pistol he has basic attack and basic defense, but with his sniper rifle he gains powerful attack but no defense and kills his target and with his other bullets kills visitors based on their priority until he runs out of targets or bullets. (Obviously with the sniper rifle he doesn't count)

-Use the original investigation result, as most are (generally) fine. If you do decide to make a new investigation result, make sure to place removed roles in another investigation result and specify why.

-Put more detail, detail is the best thing, the more information we have for your role, the more ability you have to fix your roles and the more we have the ability to fix those roles.
