You are a patient with mania, lacking control over yourself.

Attack: Basic

Defense: None

Unique: Yes Unique is a bit unusual for a Neutral Evil, but that's fine.

Immunities: Convert Immunity, Control immunity, Roleblock immunity

Okay so it's got the exact same immunities as Pirate; it's a high priority role.

Alignment: Neutral (Evil)

Abilities:

Attributes:
 * On full moons you randomly attack a player.
 * You have two vests.


 * On full moon nights you can visit up to two people [and/or vest] to try to stop your attack. If you visit the player you’re attacking, your attack doesn’t go through.
 * Your attacks are astral, but your protect attempts are not.
 * If you are Jailed then you attack the Jailor for an Unstoppable attack.

Goal: Live to see yourself kill three people or less.

Investigation Results:

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious.

Investigator: Your target is a Survivor, Vampire Hunter, Amnesiac, Maniac, [Medusa or Psychic.]

'''Revealing Results: Your target does not have full control over their actions. They must be a Maniac.'''

Additional Notes:

This is a bit strange, I don't really like the RNG factor of randomly attacking a player. Having to select the player you attack to stop the attack from going through is very hard and unlikely, especially when everyone is still alive, there's only a 1/14 you'd actualy stop the attack. This is also kind of a Jailor hardcounter, the unstoppable attack seems harsh, but I guess the reason for it makes it okay. For the goal, I'm guessing if you die you lose, I guess that's fair.
 * The entire idea of this role is similar to the Pirate—but instead of wanting to kill/attack people, you want to avoid killing people. I was considering giving this role Unstoppable Attack to make people feel like they should kill/neutralize this threat, but I decided against it.
 * The Investigation results were purposely paired with the Survivor.
 * This idea has been done before, but I hope it is balanced :P
 * The reason for this role to attack the Jailor is to give the Jailor a sense of “I need to execute Maniacs” and to prevent an auto-win by Jailor roleblocking.
 * This thing is stuck in bold.

This role needs a lot of work, but good try! Keep it up.
