Abilities: You may place a trap at any player's house, excpet your target. (You'll see what I mean I promise)

Attributes: Your target is . You may set a Trap at a player's house each night. You cannot set a trap at a your target's house. If your target dies someway else then your Traps, you become an (You'll see why). Traps deal a Basic Attack to your Trapped target's visitors. If no one visits your Trapped target, you'll kill that person. (Just so it isn't too similar to Trapper).

Mechanics:

NOTE: You don't attack your or roleblocker!

The Trap

So you get to place a trap each night at any player's house EXCEPT your target's. Traps only last one night. Traps attack anyone who visits the Trapped person, except you. Players cannot be saved from Trap attacks by  or. Being Trapped cannot protected against (Like douses). Players will know if they are Trapped. You may place a trap at your own house, but you won't kill yourself with it. You cannot get  with your trap (The same way it can still protect jailed targets.)

The Target

Your target must be able to visit alive players at night (So no targets). If your target dies from anything else than your trap you become an. Your target can't have any permanent defense so that your Traps could kill him (So are an option but not for ex.: ).

Investigative Results:

- : "Your target is a Headhunter!" (Since the theme of is to find  I'll follow that theme as well)

- :

Option 1: "Your target is an, , , or Headhunter!" (This one didn't have any roles yet so it could spice it up. Not my favorite pick though)

Option 2: "Your target is a, , , or Headhunter!" (This is my favorite since it's with, but it also could be waaay to many roles for 1 invest).

Option 3: "Your target is a, , , or Headhunter" (Would nerf  even more)

- //: "Your target is trying to bait someone into sudden doom. They must be a Headhunter!"

Goal: Trap your target in one of your Traps.

Wins with/Must kill: N/A

"Your target died last night. You decided to forget it all and pursue a different career." - Turning into an if killed at night

"Your target was lynched. You decided to forget it all and pursue a different career." - Turning into an if lynched.

My thoughts:

This role could be quite powerful if someone claims / on them D1 since this acts like a mini - combo. BUT this role's main focus is not to kill: It's to kill his target. If more and more people die, it's more likely that A, his target will die B, the Headhunter will die. This role could imo eliminate asking for protection  D1 since, it's very easy to get  dead that way. This role can also be beneficial to other roles as it can kill very quickly. This role in my opinion would be a hard role to play but a very strategic one. This is an interesting idea, it takes the idea of Trapper and reworks it into an NK.

The problem is the awful KPN this would have, and how it would change alignments as Amnesiac

I'm sorry, I'm very short on time currently, I would love to help you more later.
