Alignment:

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique: No

Priority: (Optional): 4

Abilities:

- Select an alignment at night.

Attributes:

If a player with the chosen alignment dies either the same night or the next day, you dig up their body as soon as they die.

Mechanics: (How It Works): Every night, you choose an alignment. If a person with that alignment dies that night or day, you get 1 dead body. You win when you reach 3 dead bodies.

-Investigative Results-


 * Your target is not suspicious.


 * Your target is Lookout, Forger, Witch(/Coven Leader) or Grave Digger!

no, this role should be Medum, Janitor, or Retributionist becuase that roles investigation result is "your target works with dead bodies often"

/: Your target collects bodies. They must be a Grave Digger!

kinda boring, and similar to an investigation result

Goal: Collect 3 dead bodies.

'''this goal is fine, but it's a little detatched from the rest of the game. The only thing you're doing that is involved with the rest of the game is collect dead people. So there are only two things you can do - '''

1.) communicate with the evils to kill a certain person in exchange for your vote

2.) choose someone one night and kill any people who claim that the next day

'''either way, this role doesn't really support town. you could just get lucky and win as this role but that's not fun.'''

Wins With: Everyone.

Must Kill: Nobody.

Anything Else: If you collect a dead body, their last will won't be shown to the town.

or the mafia I assume?

I actually really like this idea, giving a hint that a role is in the game but not flat out saying it.

Strategy: Work with a killer, or try some Executioner strategy to lynch a person that claims the alignment that you chose last night. Or if somebody is obviously mafioso, select the Mafia Killing and act like a townie.

haha literally just said this.

Msges: 'A person with the chosen alignment has died! You gain 1 dead body!' 'Good job, you reached 3 dead bodies! You won!'

Example game:

N1: You pick Town Investigative. You are lucky, the Serial Killer kills the Lookout, causing you to receive 1 dead body.

D2: A player claiming Escort is suspected of being Consort and almost lynched.

N2: You take gamble and pick Mafia Support.

D3: You say the 'Escort' is Mafia and you are Sheriff. The Consort is lynched, you are on 3 now.

N3+4: You pick the wrong alignment every time.

D5: The Arsonist found you and says he is igniting you and the Doctor with some other unknown roles the next night, so you could win.

N5: You pick Town Protective while the Arsonist burns the whole town, including you and the Doctor. You gain your last and third dead body causing you and the Arsonist to win. eh, cool idea. Probably one of the best roles I've seen on the wiki.

but the problems I've stated are already there.

Many people don't like the Survivor, but with that role, it's goal is to survive at all costs. If that means betrayl or helping a certain faction, it will do it

The Amnesiac picks a side

The Executionar makes Sheriff claims look fake, and overall heavily hurts town

The Jester puts a safety bed under mafias, making every vote a little more unsure

The Witch straight up messes with town and screws with alll their night abilities

This.... kinda doesn't do anything. It isn't really involved in the game, not directly anyway.

Close, but no cigar.

I get your point. Do you maybe have an idea to change a bit of the role and make it more game involved?
