Alignment: Town Support

Abilities: Change someone's vote to innocent or abstain, one single time

Attributes

- You are not NI or BI.

- You may change someone's vote ONCE.

- You cannot change the Lawyer or the Mayor's vote.

Goal:

- Lynch all criminals and evildoers.

Backstory: The Judge was clean and polite. He would never get mad at you, unless you messed up his favorite thing in town - the Trials, which he always would attend, no matter if the person was suspected of being a Survivor or a Serial Killer. The only person he hated in the world was the Lawyer, his own sister, which was accused of changing votes for the Mafia sake. Well, they are trying to lynch an obvious Veteran... time to change that for good.

Investigation Results

Sheriff: NS

Investigator: Your target is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They could be the Sheriff, Executioner, Werewolf or Judge.

Consigliere: Your target switches votes for the sake of Town. He must be a Judge.

Gameplay:

Bob One is a Mafioso.''

Bob Two is a Doctor.

Bob Three is a Survivor.

Bob Four is a Judge.''

In trial, Bob One votes Bob Two to stand.

Bob Three does not know who to align to, and votes Guilty on Bob Two.

Bob Four changes Bob Three's vote to innocent and votes innocent.

Bob Two is saved, and if Bob One is the only one that voted guilty, Bob Three sees that Bob One is the only Mafia and that it's better to align Town.

Bob Two, Three and Four win.

Disadvantages

- Players such as the Lawyer and the Mayor are immune to your vote change.

- You can be easily lynched as an Executioner or Werewolf because of the results.

- You aren't Night Immune, neither Bite Immune, and TI may not protect you because you may be only an extra vote in their vision.

- You can be proved as a Judge, but that would ruin your strategy.

Advantages

- You can change the late game with your ability, for better or worse.

- You can be easily proved as a Judge.

- You can be trusted as a Sheriff because of the results.

Extra notes

- If rejected, please tell the reason why.

- The Lawyer mentioned in Backstory and Attributes is another role of mine.

- If you would like to criticize, please be respectful. This seems like a balanced role, but it's a vote buyer, which sadly gets rejected.

I'm currently stumped on how I could change this. It only can change it once, so i don't think it's much of a Vote Buyer since
