Name:

Manipulator

Defense: None

Attack: None

Abilities:

Steal your targets ability and use it as your own.

'''This is prohibited as it is a copycat role and can be extremely overpowered or underpowered. Also, it would be entirely broken. Being able to Jail somebody and execute them? Being able to become a half-pestilence and destroy the Town?'''

Attributes:

Select one player during the day to stop them from using their night ability.

The person you selected will not be able to use their night ability and will see a message saying they were manipulated. (Somebody manipulated you and stopped you from using your night ability.)

'''So you role-block them. So you instantly get yourself announced to the Town, you get lynched easily if you were investigated, and this destroys the usage of the Escort/Consort.'''

You will not know the role or the ability of the person you manipulate, so use it wisely.

Doesn't matter if you have a Consigliere or that role has been confirmed.

This only has 3 uses.

If there are no killing roles left, you become the mafioso. '''This is not the Mafia role to put in the game. This would be broken, extremely confusing, and can cause gamethrowing as if you know the Jailor, BAM. YOU JAIL THE JAILOR AND EXECUTE THE JAILOR.'''

I can't accept this, nor can it be improved by its main ability.
