Board Thread:Role Ideas (Mafia)/@comment-34969116-20180323195337

Name: Diversionist

Alignment: Mafia Support (could be deception help decide)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique Role: Don't see why it should

Abilities: At night set up a sign outside someone's house leading to someone else, any non killing role that attempts to visit the house with the sign will instead. Signs take one night to create, if you are role blocked or jailed you will not make a sign.

Attributes: None

Mechanics: You create a sign night one, night two you can place this sign at someone's house (this counts as visiting) lets say placed at house 5 diverting to house 6.

On the night that the sign is placed any non-killing roles that try to visit 5 will instead visit 6 without knowing and will get the results for 6. A sign cannot be placed on a revealed mayor's house.

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the mafia

Investigator: Your target Escort/consort/transporter/diversionist (unsure about this one)

Consigliere/Witch: Your target tricks people into visiting others, they must be a diversionist.

Goal: Kill anyone who doesn't submit to Mafia

Wins With: The usual for mafia Must Kill: The usual for mafia

Notes:

- Main reason why killing roles ignore the sign as it would just cause too much chaos with roles such as vig however if you think it could work it can be changed.

- You wont know if you were diverted

- Assuming that it is not a unique role if there are two divetionists, one places a sign from 5 to 6 and another places a sign from 6 to 7 then everyone will follow both the signs and end up at 7.
