Original Name Do Not Steal wrote: RedWhaley14 wrote: As well known, the Famer is almost essentially useless nowadays. It is in desperate need of a buff, and playing as the role is extremely boring. Here's a way to fix this:

Changes to the Framer's Abilities:

-Make the frame last for 2 nights instead of 1. This should help make it so that way a sheriff is a lot more likely to investigate a framed person.

'''Yes. Much needed buff.'''

-'''(Possible Addition to Framer) Prevent the framed person from voting the day after they were framed. 'This would be a unique addition to the mafia and would help give the Framer a little more strategic use''

'''So the target can’t vote after being framed. This seems powerful, yet situational. How long is the target unable to vote?'''

''​​​​​​​I'd say as long as the frame sticks to them. This could be useful for nullifying the use of a Mayor's 3 votes, vfr, etc. ''

-(Possible Addition #2) '''The Framer gets to choose the investigative results that the Framed person appears as to the Investigator. 'This would allow for a  lot more strategic use and claim space for the Mafia, making it so that way the Framer can "Frame" someone as a Janitor or Serial Killer when one is apparent. It also allows for other evils to claim "Framed" if investigated.''

'''Now THIS I like. If the Sheriff still sees all framed players as suspicious, this could be AMAZING for the Mafia to make a player look like a Disguiser.'''

Thoughts on these ideas? I tried to make the Framer a little more fun to play as generally, and to give it's role more use other than the "Framed person and got lucky with Sheriff visiting them as well".

Note: Not all of these changes would be introduced to it at the same time. For example, maybe only change 1 and change 3 should be applied, as having all three would be OP

Overall, I like it. It gives the Framer a MUCH needed use in games without an Investigator or Sheriff, and gives the Framer more use in games with an Investigator or Sheriff. Tried to explain point 2 a little more in italics. The feedback is appreciated
