Board Thread:Role Ideas (Coven)/@comment-35026689-20180422105908/@comment-28092296-20180422142035

Okay, okay, lol. Initially, a good idea. A 'fake player' that just sits there. I love it, and I might even try to make a role based upon this idea and re-post it here or in the Coven ideas board (in general). HOWEVER...

- This role will be automatically rejected—you can't create a role that throws trial votes around. The amount of votes needed to lynch a player will increase—i.e. if 6 people are alive and 2 are leeched, the amount of votes needed to lynch someone will increase from 4 to 5. Also, why isn't this unique? What if the Coven has three Extortionists??

- This is like Poisoner. You kinda sit there and wait for people to die...in fact, it's a direct upgrade to the Poisoner.

- The Necronomicon ability is too weak. The necronomicon was created to incourage the Coven to kill—the Coven Leader can't kill w/out the necronomicon, the Necromancer and Medusa might run out of ways to kill people, the Hex Master will just be sitting there making no impact on the game, etc. This ability kind-of goes against the purpose of the Necronomicon.

- What about AFK people? This doesn't effect them...

- So...can Mayors reveal? What if the target gets leeched on the night they die? Can you open a last will? What if your target is controlled?

- This is like a priority 5 role.

- What happens if an immune role is attacked? (Like Pestilence or Serial Killer?)

- What happens if a target is healed/purged? Personally, I feel like purges should remove the leeches (but then again, that would make this role like the Poisoner).
