'''[Quite surprised nobody had commented on this sooner. Anyways, shall we begin? Please understand that anything I say I intend to mean as politely as I can. Bold = Something I like'''

Italics = Needs improvement/Has a problem

'''and the {} I use are just for holding my thoughts. Let's begin.]'''

Name: Stroller

Alignment: Town Investigative

'[Not a problem. ''But I am going to say that for our town investigatives: sheriff, investigator, spy, and lookout are available outside of coven. Tracker and Psychic are both included in Coven. Keeping your mind open to already pre-existing roles is a good idea for when you make them.]'''

Attack: None

Defense: None

'''[Thank you. Thank you for adhering to the usual rules of a townie. I appreciate you.]'''

Unique: No

[If it's a town investigative, they shouldn't be unique anyways so this is good.]

Priority: IDK

'''[I probably would've rated them about maybe a 3. Perhaps even less, a 2.]'''

Description: You are a night owl who wanders the street with a keen eye. (Anyone got something better?)

'''[I think it's actually fine the way it is right now. It looks good, but could be more descriptive... "You are a keen observer with records on visitors on the streets."] '''

'''Abilities: See who visits a random house and who the owner visits. (or 'who the owner might have visited')'''

'''[Unfortunately, a role like this now exists: Tracker. In the Coven expansion only, however. Still, I must sadly let you know that this role already exists and I cannot see how it would work when as a role it already exists. But I commend the effort.'''

Attributes: At night you will randomly visit one players house.

You will see everyone (or 'one random player') who visited that night.

''You will also see who the player visited that night. (or '3 people who the player might have visited that night.' )''

'''[So essentially what this is doing is combining two roles together- Lookout and Tracker. You can see who visits an individual, but you can ALSO see WHO that individual visited. If this were to be implementable in the game, that would mean that it would literally knock the two roles out and serve no purpose in the game anymore. Both already have their own unique purpose in the game, so this role itself isn't USELESS; it just wouldn't be helpful in the game environment if we already have a lookout and tracker role.]'''

If your target did not visit anyone, you will see that they stayed in their house.

Mechanics: Basically a combo of LO and tracker but you don't know who you are watching. 

'[Interesting, ''but not knowing who you're watching won't be that useful as a town investigative role. Imagine a Sheriff being told "YOUR TARGET IS SUSPICIOUS" but not knowing who it is. The point I'm trying to make is while it's clever, it's only practical. '''

Also can be nerfed by making it limited on how many you see visited and who your target visited, like a psychic's ability. They will always know if someone didn't visit anyone that night and unlike LO and tracker, ''you can visit your own house without a transporter. If the target is transporter then they will see both houses or two of the three results will be correct.''

'''[I'm a tad bit confused. So if you look at a transporter it would see BOTH houses? I don't think it would work in the game but the idea was a neat twist.]'''

'Am I invited?' - Watch 5 people visit a house. (If not nerfed)

'Which way did he go, George?' Watch someone visit two people on the same night. (If not nerfed. Also a reference to Bugs Bunny 'Falling Hare' where the Martian points in two directions when asked that question.'

'Hit and run' - Get ambushed by an Ambusher at the house you visited.

'''[Other than that I just don't have anything to say since it's- unfortunately- an offbrand carbon copy of a lookout or tracker but with the abililty of the combined two. It was a good attempt, but I'd say scrap it. Sorry.]'''
