Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-31167710-20170217042306

I'm gonna be honest, this is the worst name I could have given this role. It would be pretty easy to change potatos into bombs. However, that would be far less of an entertaining read. Therefore, I give you Spud, the potato farmer.

Role: Spud

Alignment: Neutral Killing

Description: A potato farmer with explosive produce.

Goal: Eliminate anyone who would oppose you.

Wins With: Spud, Neutral Evils, and Neutral Benigns. ''' Abilities: '''

-Arm a Potato every other night. You can set its detonation timer from zero to three turns. Only you will ever be aware of this timer.

-You can throw Potatoes to any players within range. The range is the detonation timer plus 1. (Example: If you're player number 7, and the timer is set for 3 turns, you can throw your Potato to all players between 3 and 11.)

'''Attributes: '''

-Spud is immune to Roleblocks, Bites, Potato death, and death at night. (Escorts receive a message saying that their target was roleblocked still)

-Delivering Potatoes counts as a visit. Detonation happens automatically, without any visit.

-The delivery and combustion of Potatoes pierces automatic night immunity. (Doctors can still heal you, being in jail will protect you, and a Bodyguard/Survivor's vest will keep you safe.)

-Other players may deliver Potatoes to any player within two houses of them.

Special:

-If a player in possession of a Potato at the start of the night is visited during the night, their Potato will be stolen. This has priority over delivery, and does not refer to the Spud's initial delivery.

-If multiple players visit a single Potato carryer, the list of who takes the explosive is as follows: Escort, Consort, Investigator, Consigliere, Sheriff, Framer, Vampire Hunter, Blackmailer, Doctor. Killing roles don't take Potatoes on visit.

-If you are transported, the person you are switched with will end the night with the Potato. This trumps all other methods.

-Spud and other players carrying Potatoes deliver produce at night through a moon icon (reskinned sun icon).

I've put a lot of thought into this. Specifically, on how to separate it from the Arsonist or Werewolf without just making Spud a buffed version of them. I'm actually kind of proud of this one, so please be gentle. I'll see about adding a backstory and achivements after gauging the initial reception. I hope that this piqued your interest.<ac_metadata title="Role Idea: Spud"> </ac_metadata>
