Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-33200482-20170928013506/@comment-33200482-20170928022720

The targets can chat to the bard. That is how they interrupt. A townie will want to say a few things to a confirmed townie. They can give their role and useful info. "I am escort and will block 4 tonight' or 'I am jailor here is my will.'

This role cannot kill indiscriminately as it requires the target to chat to them. This makes it pretty restrained. For example, the bard can't attack confirmed evils as they'll remain quiet. This makes the role almost useless in very late game where a vig would be better.

If someone doesn't respond during the night a  bard can say so during day, c asting suspicion on the target. This makes it a possible claim for exe/jester.

Gamethrowing won't be a bigger issue than other tk roles. As said they can't attack without a target speaking to them. If the bard kills 1-2 town, then future targets can just not speak and during the day say they didn't speak because they don't trust the bard's judgment. This'll be to the benefit of evils who don't want to claim a role.

If the alignment were changed to neutral then there would be no reason for town to talk to the bard. Also there is the question of what the bard's victory condition would be.

I haven't decided on investigative results yet. I'm thinking of adding it to vig/vet/maf.
