Coiler (Mafia Support)

Unique: No

Attack: None

Defence: None

Summary: You are a Coiler who handles trip-wires.

Priority: 3

Mechanics: You can place a trip-wire on anyone including fellow members of the Mafia, except for yourself. (You can be Transported or Witched into trip-wiring yourself, though)

You can only place a trip-wire three times.

The trip-wire will cause the abilities of visits to that target to fail, and they will receive the notification: 'Your ability failed because you stumbled over a trip-wire.'

The trip-wire will not stop:


 * Any roles with role block Immunity


 * Other members of the Mafia


 * Ramaging attacks - i.e Werewolf, Pestilence, Juggernaut after 3rd kill


 * Astral visits

These roles will instead receive the message, 'You jumped over a trip-wire because you're immune.'

Astral visits will not receive any message.

If you stumble over a trip-wire, a Spy (if you're Coven) or Tracker can still see your visit, a Lookout can't because they would also stumble over the trip-wire.

Sherrie: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target could be a Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Coiler or Guardian Angel.

Witch/Coven Leader/Consigiliere: Your target handles trip-wires. They must be a Coiler. '''It's a good concept for some buffs, but it wn't work well and can add fuel to the fire. It is also just a rehash of the Consort for the mafia, as it blocks roles from visiting, essentially a roleblock. Let's say an investigator tries going for someone who was wired, so he fails. Let's say that person is a Mafia member. He calls out that person was wired, he gets voted up. If claims are already proved and his claim is false, he gets lynched.'''

'''It's an interesting concept, but it will just minimize the Town and hinder their abilities. Their large majority can still easily lynch the evils. Someone is a confirmed evil and you block a Vigi from shooting them? Welp, they easily get lynched or executed on the spot.'''
