Role: Kidnapper

Goal: Kill anyone that will not submit to the mafia.

Abilities: Choose two people to kidnap and switch at night

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the mafia

Investigator: You target is skilled at disrupting others. They could be an Escort, Consort, Transporter, or Kidnapper.

Alignment: Mafia Support

'''The Kidnapper is the mafia version of Transporter. Using their ability they can strategically and knowingly mess with investigator results, redirect vigilante shootings, and alter Town Protect targets.'''

The Kidnapper is different than the Transporter because they only posses the ability to transport 3 times.

'''If a Kidnapper were to claim Transporter without any kidnaps left, they would be unable to proove themselves. '''

The 3 use limit is in place in order to nerf the incredible power of messing with invest resuls and causing other choas.

Example:

Player 1: I am now confirmed invest, after finding mafioso.

Player 2: Check Player 3, he is not confirmed yet.

Player 3: You have decided to kidnap and switch Player 2 and Player 3.

Player 1: Checked Player 3 last night, he is NS, Will check Player 2 tonight.

Player 3: You have decided to kidnap and switch Player 2 and Player 3.

Player 1: Player 2 is Mafia!
