Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-142.113.24.110-20191229021946/@comment-30757827-20191229032612

Originality: Yeah it's pretty original, basically whatever happens to it also happens to their target. Transporter is the closest to this in the sense that it messes with what effects affect who, but this is still different in many ways.

Enjoyment: A good strategy to have with this role would be to find a confirmed TP or other townie with a useful ability and convince them to stay on you as you put their ability on someone else, this way you and your target get that useful ability. However, this is not very fun for the townie with that ability, as they simply use it on you every night and think nothing more. This isn't that big of a deal as it's unlikely for both to be confirmed, if they were evils might start messing with the martyr, and not choosing where to use your ability each night doesn't take all the fun out of tos. However, it is still not the best.

Balance: What this role basically does is duplicate any ability that affects it and put it on another player. If you want to be useful, you have to get a townie with a good ability on you, and then share it with another townie. However... If you get one townie with an ability on you, that turns that ability in to two, one on you and one on your target. But... If you were to be the same role as the person using their ability on you, you could use that ability on whoever you want for the whole game, and the other player could use their ability on whoever they want, not just you. Combine this with this role being tp, making it more unlikely that roles with good abilities will be in the game to target it, the role distributing bad abilities too, the role getting targetted by evils with bad abilities when confirmed, and many others i can't think of now, It all seems to outweigh the benefits of this role which I also can't think of now.

Simplicity: The idea is mostly simple, it just clones anything that happens to them on another player, but it also has a lot of small things that you'd have to learn, which I'm not a fan of, but it's not too big a deal.

Verdict: Screvamp. It seems impossible to fix the fundemental flaws of the role, but who knows, maybe it is possible to fix, if you choose to try, good luck charlie
