Mafia/Town Plus role isn't recommended. Exception can still be consider if the role possess the impact to balance roles. But to achieve such outcome is more than a challenge. Sometimes adding a little spices can spoil the whole broth - a little buff for strong balanced role can make them insanely OP by leap and bound; a gigantic chunk of buff for UP role can't even nudge them a bit, or maybe a little buff can send them from Hell Tier to the God Tier, etc. etc. etc. If ability of buffing and debuffing adversely influence the overall balance of gaming, it has a huge chance to be call off right away. Just saying, a Plusing role should encourage equality instead of equity when it comes to power distribution, achieving the effect of "making all the roles worth replacing each other", but it is extremely hard to do that.

To be honest, even though it successfully pull off its ability properly and bring about the desirable outcome, I personally still not fond of the idea of relying upon a role to comply with the standard of balance. Presence and abscene of this role is the key of Mafia winning, hence making certain roles not the equivalent substitutes of Tactician. This isn't what we're working on.

However, you did a nice attempt. A lot of roles are decently buffed, but some problems are.. meh.. like the one for Ambusher (2 KPN for 3 nights) and buff for Janitor did very little (the only advantage is that the Mafia claim the dead's role a day earlier). Currently, unbalanced issue is a polemic. Perhaps you can reserve this until the gaming state is more tolerating. You can also be a little bold to post it on Forum right away. I mean you loss nothing to give a try, keeping any role idea here doesn't do a good
