Alignment: Town Investigative oooh!

Attack & Defence: None

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: You target could be a Lookout, Forger, Witch/Coven Leader, Analyst ok, makes sense

Consigliere: Your target is well educated in people's professions. They must be an Analyst.

Summary: A smart investigator who lurks at people's houses.

Abilities: Check a role that visits someone each night. (To nerf if OP, only allow for 3 checks)

do not put limits on TI, this does not seem too OP, however

Attributes: You will see the role of one JUST ONE person who visits your target. '''RNG? not very good...'''

Goal: Lynch all evildoers.

Wins with anyone any other townie would win with blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Tips: - If you have this role, you'd work really well with a Lookout. If someone is confirmed as a lookout, let them know you're an Analyst and you can both visit the same people at night. (And vice versa ofc) - If someone you visited is blackmailed, you (or a Spy) are their only hope if they get put on trial yay, a lookout buddy

Opinions? I do like the idea of using the trapper's ability as a TI

The best use for this is confirming roles, which could be really good in the right circumstances

You could call it swingy, but I think it seems ok

Questions:

1. How does it determine the role you are told (which person is selected?) is it RNG? That may be ok in this case, but it will not be liked by many

2. How would a Doused/Hexed/Framed person be affected? 1. Sorry dude, gonna have to explain what RNG stands for to me

2. This has potential to cause a load of confusion because either showing their true roles or the roles of either an Arsonist, Hex Master or Framer could both be conflicting and lead to a lot of make-believe, but I think the safest bet is to treat anyone doused as an arsonist, hexed as HM and framed as Framer. 1. By RNG, I mean random number generators. In this scenario, it would mean, if 2 people visited someone this was on (let's say a doctor and a framer), how would the game determine which role to tell you? RNG is bad, but it might work here since any sort of priority would kind of break the role.

2. seems fair In that case, RNG seems like the best option.
