Town of Salem Role Idea

Summary - A brave lawyer not intimidated by the criminals in the village, working hard for the prevalence of justice.

Attack - None

Defense - None

Unique - Yes

Win Condition: Lynch all evildoers

Attributes:

1ST ATTRIBUTE

'''Whenever a person is put on trial in the village, the name of that person will become selectable by the Lawyer. The Lawyer may select the name of that person to try and help prove the innocence of that person. If the Lawyer does select the name of the suspected, the suspected receives a pop-up (like the pirate one for example) - but it is a question asking if you would like a Lawyer, with the options being Yes and No. Of course, the Lawyer doesn’t have to step in for someone if they believe they are guilty.'''

When the option YES is selected: '''HIGHER CHANCE: (The Lawyer has revealed that NAME’s role has an attack value of POWERFUL.) or (The Lawyer has revealed that NAME’s role has a defence value of NONE.) or (The lawyer has revealed that NAME has visited name1, name2 and name3 throughout the whole game!). '''
 * The identity of the Lawyer is revealed.
 * Some information about the role of the suspected person is revealed. For example, this can be: 

LOWER CHANCE: (The Lawyer has revealed that NAME is part of the Mafia!) or (The Lawyer has revealed that NAME is part of the Town!) or (The Lawyer has revealed that NAME is evil.)

For the higher chance options, it should also have a slight chance of two things being revealed.

2ND ATTRIBUTE

'''When a person is jailed, the jailor may ask the Lawyer to come to jail that night, however he does NOT get the jailor’s protection that night. You cannot do anything and neither there is anything for you to select, however in the jail your name comes up as (“LAWYER:”) and you may help the jailor with the questioning.'''

Mechanics 

During the night, you will not be able to do anything, other than speak in jail if the jailor has requested you, (only if you say yes).

During the day, you may stand for people put on trial to reveal information about their role to the town and perhaps prove their innocence.
