Kozani wrote: Name : Engineer (I changed the name because I felt it fit better) I don't even know what the last one was

Alignment : Mafia Deception

I don't see where this is going

Game Background : You are a proficient roboticist who can amalgamate the fallen bodies of others with his complex mechanisms to take over and control their corpses.

english please?

Attack : None

Defense : None

ok

Unique Role : Yes (If two engineers targeted the same person I thought that they would both be able to speak for them, but that would give too much food to the trolls)

wut?

Priority : 3

Abilities :

-You are able to "assimilate" someone each night

make me a robot master?

Attributes :

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-You may only assimilate someone three times

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Limited uses must be a powerful ability

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The person you assimilate must be dead during the assimilation (similar to how the janitor or forger require their target to be dead to activate their ability on them)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-If the person targeted by the engineer is not dead during the night they are targeted, the engineer will waste one of their abilities (again, like the janitor and forger)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''Rehash? or freaking cool role? I'm going for the second option currently'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The engineer cannot target somebody that has been revealed to the town as dead (meaning that if the engineer assimilates someone and that someone is not lynched, if they assimilate them again the night after they will still be able to control them the next day-unless that someone is attacked)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">explain?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The enginner cannot see or change the will or role of their target, but if they exploit the rule above and keep their target seemingly alive for 3 days then the forger or consigilere (or other mafia roles) can target them any of those days

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-If a janitor or forger targeted the same person as the engineer, then once the assimilated person dies they will still be cleaned or forged

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Mechanics :

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-If the engineer targets a dying person (which they have to do), that person still dies but they will still seem alive to everyone else

<p style="font-weight:normal;">ok.....

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The engineer can speak for both themselves and their target, the target cannot speak because they are dead

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''so they control the target...... hm this might actually seem good'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-the enginners target is dead, they can still speak in the dead chat and speak to the medium (although i dont see how that matters unless the engineer uses the same body several days in a row)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">so if they target someone who died before that night then they control their spirit?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The engineer is unable to vote for the person they assimilated

<p style="font-weight:normal;">change this it seems a little underpowered I will explain

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The engineer cannot do anything with their target besides speak for them (they cant make them vote, they cant make them use their abilities, they cant do anything with them but make them talk)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-If the person they assimilated leaves the game, the engineer will no longer be able to use them to talk

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I think i like this role

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-Once the engineer stops assimilating a body, they will appear dead the next day

<p style="font-weight:normal;">makes sense

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-If an engineer decides to assimilate a body two or three times in a row and a role attacks the assimilated person, the assimilated person will appear dead the next day and the engineer will have wasted an ability

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-Mafia killers cannot target someone who is assimilated, but neutral killing roles and town killing roles can attack the assimilated

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-If someone reports someone who is assimilated, then the engineer who assimilated them will be reported instead, although the person filing the report will not be told they are reporting the engineer. (if someone reports an assimilated player for gamethrowing then their report will be disregaurded unless that person is a member of the mafia, or a neutral player)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">makes sense

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-The engineer is unable to vote for the target they assimilated

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-Once somebody who was assimilated dies, at the end of their death explanation will be the text "this person was inhabited by a machine!"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">ok so how long does an assimilation last?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">-Investigation Results-

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Sheriff : Your target is a member of the mafia!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Investigator : Your target spends a peculiar amount of time around the dead, they must be a medium, janitor, retributionist, trapper, or engineer

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Consigliere / Witch : Your target amalgamates their contraptions into dead bodies, they must be an engineer!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Goal : Kill everyone who does not submit to the mafia

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Wins With : Mafia, Survivor, Pirate, Guardian Angel, or Witch

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Must Kill : Town, Vampires, Coven, Pestilence, Arsonist, Serial Killer, WereWolf, or Juggernaut

ok so here is my role review:

Role Dependency:passed

Hardcounters:doesn't seem like any hardcounters passed

Re-hashes:I don't see a rehash in this

Buddy role:passed

Conversion:passed

RNG:passed

Too me I don't see anything wrong with this role

It doesn't control them since their dead and it actually seems well balanced.

One more thing though:

I think it should have the ability to vote for the assimilated because its only 3 uses.

otherwise I think its well balanced

(addfire and others probably will think otherwise cuz they are role burners)

I see nothing wrong
