Puppet - Neutral (Evil) Attack: Basic Defense: Powerful (when possessed)—this defense is removed after one attack

Abilities: Choose at night to perform an exorcism

Attributes: You can only perform three exorcisms The Puppet is considered possessed when they don’t perform an exorcism that night

Exorcism: - An exorcism will attempt to remove the unholy spirit from the Puppet. - The Puppet will replace their “Invincible” defense value to “None” for that night. But you said powerful? - If a player visits the Puppet during an exorcism, they will be attacked with a basic attack. - The Puppet doesn’t get roleblock or control immunity—a roleblock will cancel the exorcism, and a control will nullify the exorcism unless the Witch/Coven Leader makes the Puppet target themself

Winning Conditions: Get yourself killed on the night of performing an exorcism (getting lynched or commit suicide doesn’t count) ok, neat

Investigation Results: Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious (this might be changed) Investigator: Your target could be a Framer, Vampire, Jester, [Hex Master] or a Puppet Reveal: Your target is a vessel for an evil spirit. They must be a Puppet.

Other Stats: - This role is a unique role - A Vampire attempting to convert the Puppet will be considered an attack, and will kill the Puppet - This role cannot have a Guardian Angel because its winning condition is to kill itself k

Role Summary (TL;DR section): This role is a Jester that needs to be killed at night in order to win. Since most players die to night attackers, this role utilizes an alert system like the Veteran where the Puppet can only win on nights when they alert so the role doesn’t become ridiculously easy to win as and becomes more interesting to play as. The Puppet will attack any visitors on an ‘alert’ night to prevent people from giving the Puppet a win (similar to how the Jester kills one of their guilty voters to prevent people from giving the Jester an automatic win). Basically jester from testing grounds

Other Notes:

- The Powerful defense was added since this role is oriented around attracting the attention of killing roles and because the role loses once it dies—it can't have teammates that would win the game for the Puppet once it died/when it is alive, unlike the Veteran [and Medusa]. I can’t really see any problems with this idea, it’s basically the jester overhaul from testing grounds.
