Thief (Mafia Support)

You are a well trained criminal who steals a person's main belonging each night.

Abilities:

- Each night you may 'steal' a Town or Neutral player's item(eg. Gun for Vig or Vet).

- You can use that item the following night. However, if you do, your name will be revealed to the person you stole off. The item will be returned to the player after you are finished with it.

And then they call you out at day.

Attributes:

- You can steal as many times as you want.

- If you steal from a player who dies the following night, you can still use their item.

- You cannot steal from Town Investigative(except for Sheriff), Town Support, Neutral Killing(except for Arsonist), Mafia members, Jailor, Amnesiac, Executioner, Jester and Vampire. If you do happen to use your steal on them, the game will notify that the steal has failed.

'''So... we can steal from the arsonist, but not the jailor.'''

Okay then

- Attempting to steal from the SK will result in death.

And adding to another way SK can fall...

- Witching will make you select a random target.

'''RNG? Oh boy...'''

- Veteran's Gun will work the same way as the Vigilante's Gun. Likewise, Bodyguard's vest will work like a Survivor's vest.

Aren't survivor's and BG's vest the game thing?

- If your item kills a player, the display message will list that a Thief has killed them.

Messages:

"You have decided to steal off [Player's Name] tonight."

"You have changed your mind."

"Your [insert item name] was stolen off you by a Thief!"

"[insert player name] used your [insert item name]!"

"[insert player name] died last night. He was shot by a Thief." - Example of a gun use

Using the item will display the normal messages for that particular role.

Investigation results:

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target is not what they appear to be. They could be a Jester, Framer, Vampire, or Thief.

Consigliere: Your target can steal from other players. They are a Thief!

Goal: Kill anyone who will not submit to the Mafia.

Item List:

Sheriff: Badge

Vigilante/Veteran*: Gun

Vampire Hunter: Stake

Bodyguard/Survivor: Bulletproof Vest

Doctor: Medicine

Witch: Spellbook

Arsonist: Gas Can Overall, it seems like it will be to UP and can be found easily

My advice.

Witch: Remove RNG and make them visit the witch's second target

Remove the identity and make it so the message is: "You have found your item!"

Make it so you can only steal from someone ONCE. Actually those can work well. Especially the last one, I never though about how you can steal from the same person multiple times.
