Also, to proffy: You're relying on there being a Witch and a BMer, and for the Witch to find the NK before being killed.

Low probability.

I agree that it is helpful to have a witch on your side...

But honestly, this just adds in another level of strategy: whisper to the serial killer and say you roleblocked them, or that you transported to werewolf. BMer hearing whispers is stupid. Its current ability of bming is already extremely powerful and Ive given reasoning. Whisper hearing harms NKs. Whether it's often or not, it makes NK constantly afraid of whispering to Witch, or vice versa. The ability is unnecessarily powerful because it already has a powerful ability. So... instead of having strategy, you... nerf a role? What? I'm saying that whisper hearing is stupid for Mafia. If you absolutely HAVE to have a role that hears whispers make it an NE. It prevents any friction between scum who are already underpowered compared to Town.
