'''just voodoo? hm'''

Alignment: Coven (Evil)

nice choice

Game Information/Background: A mystical voodoo priest with the power to create the doll of a living person

sounds like its gonna break the trial system

Attack:None

Defense:None

cool

Unique Role:Yes

Abilities:Create a voodoo doll of a living person. Necronomicon:With Necronomicon,you can chose yourself after you made the doll,which will basically deal the person a basic attack.But you can do this only on full moons

'''so, basically like a nerfed ww? not a fan of the necronimicon buff, it doesn't even have anything to do with the actual ability'''

Attributes: -You can only create 1 doll at a time

okie

-When the doll gets "torn" (i.e killed),you can create a new one

okay

-You can't create a voodoo doll of your fellow Coven member

makes sense

-When the person gets killed,they will recieve a message saying "Mysterious magic has lead you to death.There is a Voodoo!"

'''Wait. so the voodoo actually murders you? I thought it worked like janitor, in that they had to be killed by someone else for this to work'''

Mechanics:So,you can create a voodoo doll of a living player (takes one night to make),and then place it at someone's house the following night.Whatever happens to the person you placed the doll at,the same thing will happen to the voodoo doll,and therefore to the person the voodoo doll is based of too.The doll won't "pick up" following things:Jails,Interogations (Sheriff,Invest,etc.),Tracking,Traps,Disguising,Ambushing,Purging,Witch's Control.

Sheriff:Your target is a member of the Coven!

good

Investigator:Framer,Vampire,Jester,Hex Master,Voodoo

solid result

Consigliere/Witch:Your target is a mystical priest.They must be a Voodoo!

actually pretty decent

Goal:Kill all who would oppose the Coven!

Wins With:Coven,Survivor,Pirate,GA,Exe,Jester

Must Kill:Everyone else

all of this is perfect Main points:

-Unfortunately, this role breaks a major rule that you can find at the bottom of this reply; it messes with the trial (report) system. If someone reports a doll, they'll be reporting the actual player, even though they're dead in reality.

-This role is also pretty overpowered, since it's literally a basic attack every nigtht, plus an extra ability. You can look at it as a buffed SK, which is not good since this role is a member of the Coven, giving it teamates. It needs a nerf, and one of my suggestions is to remove the Basic attack. If this is what you intended already, then change the death message, because it's confusing af.

+Other than that, everything is good. There are no improvements when it comes to hte stats, or results, so that's one thing you nailed.

+Also, it goes without saying that this role is different than any other in the coven, and even the game. It has flaws, but it is original, which always counts for something.

Overall, I'd give this a

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"/10 IGN

Just remember that it really isn't easy to get your role to be approved my many, so if it doesn't get into the game, don't be too discouraged because very few actually do. Even with that I have to say that your idea is better than quite a lot of the roles out there :P
