Role/Faction Idea (prsnl. rating: 3.5/5 - tell me how to fix it if needed (do it (now)))

Title: Clan [i rlly need a better title]

japan clan xP

NOTE: THIS IS DESIGNED TO BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE COVEN FACTION good, probably^

Consists of:

Grandmaster

Samurai

Ninja

•—•

Name:  Ninja

Alignment: Clan (Follower)

if follower could be replaced with something already in use that would probably be good, but it's not too big a deal

Description: You are a soldier trained in martial arts seeking to bring justice to Salem.

now that I like- it fits with the salem vibe, it's new, let's see the role 

Attack: Basic (Powerful, collectively).

nani

Defense: None.

Killing | Non-Unique | Priority 5 | Roleblock Immunity

low enough rpiority, prolly good for a killer

Abilities:

– When commanded by the Grandmaster, start an attack at one’s house.

similar enough to mafia, lets see how it's different

Attributes:

– Your attacks are Astral.

das new- seems pretty similar to mafioso, and it should probably be about the same strength, so hopefully this is balanced out 

Mechanics:

– There may be a maximum of four Ninja s, with a minimum of one.

and other roles convert to ninja if there's 0?

– When there are 1-2 Ninja s you both will visit the target defined by the Grandmaster and deal a Basic attack to the target.

that is interesting

– With 2 or more Ninja s, the target will receive the message: You were attacked and swarmed by multiple Ninja s! You have been roleblocked! This will not affect the, , and all other roles with a quasi Rampage ability.

and it'll attack them, or just that?

– With 3-4 Ninja, you all will visit the target defined by the Grandmaster and deal a Powerful attack.

doubt this would happen very often, but the clan not being able to coexist with coven would balance it out 

– If you are controlled you will commit suicide the next night over guilt of betraying your master.

found the nerf - i like it

– On nights the Grandmaster does not command you, you may choose another target to train.

woO conversion?

– If four Ninja visit a, only one will survive this attack.

nice unique mechanic

omg fortnite

[?]

2-1-0-1-1, pretty gucci

'/': Your target is a loyal follower to a powerful figure, trained in martial arts. They must be a Ninja.

'''wow it has actual effort? +1'''

Goal: Execute all others that shan't be loyal to your master.

Wins With: Clan; ; ; ;

Must Kill: ; ; ; ; ; ; /; all good.

•—•

Name:  Samurai

Alignment: Clan (Assailant)

i understand that you have to have multiple alignments for the faction to function properly, but this would probably work better with more roles

Description: You are a loyal assailant of the Grandmaster seeking power, justice, and reform amongst Salem.

again, good.

Attack: Varies.

Defense: Varies.

uh oh x2

Killing | Unique | Priority 5 | Roleblock & Control Immunity

Abilities:

– Abilites depend on what you were before.

boi

Attributes:

– Your attack is Astral.

– If the Grandmaster is killed you will become the new Grandmaster

 interesting 

Mechanics:

If you were a :

hey it just clicked these are converted players-

i like how they vary from from role to role, and can respect how unique that is, but it's not exactly new player friendly either

Powerful Attack; No Defense (Basic UNTIL first attack)

– Choose someone to execute every night, or day (this may be chosen at any time, and changed/cancelled at any time, until the night of reckoning).

– Your target will be attacked on a non-full moon night.

– If your target does not die to your attack, you will commit suicide over the guilt of betraying your master. Whilst taking your life anyone who visits you will be attacked by an Unstoppable attack.

interesting, pretty balanced

If you were a :

Basic Attack; Basic Defense

– Choose someone to execute every full moon night. They will be attacked the next day (this cannot be changed).

– If your target is, , , , or they will be roleblocked. If your target is or  they will be dealt a Basic attack.

If you were a :

Powerful Attack; Basic Defense

– Choose to execute a player every day.

– If the player has a Basic Defense, they will receive a box with three options [similar to pirate]:

Dodge

Stand

Leap

You will receive a similar prompt:

Ram (beats Dodge)

Blam (beats Stand)

Slam (beats Leap)

– You cannot be executed by the. powerful, but not to the point where it's bad

If you were the :

Unstoppable Attack; Powerful Defense (if you are attacked twice in one night this will be limited to Basic)

– Choose to lie outside a player's house.

– You will kill 1-2 people that visit your target. Their roles and wills will not be revealed, however you will know them. gl converting a juggernaut lmao

'''also, is it possible to add some non-killing roles? idk how the balancing would work exactly, and im pretty much just spitballing here, but I figure it would be really  e p i c, though I do see how it would stop really being a samurai'''

~Investigative Results~





idk, maybe we should stop fuccing sheriff

'/': Your target seeks justice through vigorous force. They must be a Samurai.

Goal: Execute those who disobey your leader.

Wins With: Clan; ; ; ;

Must Kill: ; ; ; ; ; ; /; all good.

•—•

Name:  Grandmaster

 gf detected 

Alignment: Clan (Commander)

see above

Description: You are a master of martial arts who commands their followers.

not bad, again

Attack: None/Powerful.

Defense: Basic.

figured.

Manipulation | Unique | Priority 0 (Jail) | Roleblock, Detection, and Control Immunity

uh oh 

Abilities:

– Train someone to become a Ninja.

'''not every night... right?'''

– Command your Ninja s to attack at someone’s house.

good

Attributes:

– You may choose one person during the day to train. You may only choose that person once.

'''uh oh.. every day?'''

– Your target has the option to accept or reject, except when they are a member of the or they are a.

'''damn that balances it a lot. also new.'''

Mechanics:

– If a attempts to Jail your target, their ability will fail and they will receive the message: Your target snuck away with another person, escaping your handcuffs mysteriously. [REMOVE?]

ehhhhhhh - icky

– Your target will be roleblocked when asked to accept/deny the request to join the Clan.

good.

– If your target accepts to train, they will for the next two nights give a Basic attack to ONE of those who visit them.

hold up

– You may speak with your trainee and all other Ninja at night. The trainee will see everyone else as anonymous.

alright

– Once your target is fully trained, they will become a Ninja.

mhmmm

– If your target denies to join the faction you will attack them with a Basic attack. This is not Astral, and will see you as visiting their target;  will notice you visiting your target, similarly.

wAIIt wHaT- are you sure?

– If your trainee attempts to attack you, you will attack them with a Powerful attack.

mm questionable- we dont want this role to be invincible, right?

– If you train a, , or , or , they will become the Samurai. This may only occur once.

good.

– will see you as visited by your target, and when watching your target they will receive no relationship to you.

yessiree

– will notice that your target has visited you. This does not work in reverse.

makes sense

– will be killed by A Mysterious and Ancient Force (Unstoppable) if they attempt to remember you. [nice achievement]

yeah, probably a good thing tbh

– If there is no Samurai to take your place when and if you die, Ninja will vote on a target by themselves, similar to.

thumbs_up

– If you are hung whilst you have a trainee alongside you, training will end. They will be shown as a Ninja to a, however.

figuredd

– Roles that cannot be trained:

/

The aforementioned roles will be attacked (Astral) with a Basic attack.

okie

'''good luck fitting all of this on a role card - or at all. again, pretty complicated role'''

~Investigative Results~



the one time I agree with this



idk man, gf result?

'/': Your target commands a stealthy militia. They must be the Grandmaster.

Goal: Execute those who disobey your command and your people.

Wins With: Clan; ; ; ;

Must Kill: ; ; ; ; ; ; /;

Am I just pissing off at this point? Because when there are multiple Ninjas a / can only choose to attack one…

that is one thing that we could try getting around

And is this on steroids? Or am I on steroids…?

the latter  Thoughts: Wow! An actually good new faction. I support the decision of banning this if coven is in the game, but I do think it's good. Not perfect, but probably good enough to suffer the wrath that is ToS forum. The name could use a change, so just open a book on Japanese history, but overall I like both the concept and the roles. Howver, I do see how this faction could quickly become OP and go out of hand with how powerful a combo of mafia and vamps can be.

Other than that, not gonna bother giving role making tips, you clearly know what you're doing :]
