Board Thread:Role Ideas (Rework)/@comment-28092296-20190526223810

When the Retributionist revives a target, instead of bringing the target back to life, the target will appear as a “corpse”. The corpse can talk during the day chat, use abilities and cannot see the night chat, however, they cannot vote. When the Retributionist dies, the target will die with them. The target cannot be attacked directly. Optional Suggestion: When the Retributionist revives, they can’t be protected.

This would mean that the revived target, while a confirmed townie that can talk use their abilities, would die with the person that revived them. Combined with the fact that the revived person cannot vote means that it’s like the Retributionist was swapped with a role that has a different ability, and in a way, acts like there’s one confirmed townie instead of two. The “dying w/ the Retributionist” mechanic would also mean that the Retributionist is a more interesting role, as after reviving somebody, the Retri still has to fulfil a very important purpose of not dying. The optional suggestion would force the Retributionist to remain in hiding instead of coming out and getting a free TP role on them 24/7.

Props to Connertheandroid for inspiring me on this idea.
