NAME

Therapist

Summary

A specialized helper who can ease peoples' stress.

Win Condition - 

Town That's not really a win condition, but sure.

Alignment - 

Town Protective

Attack -

None

Defense -

None

Unique -

No

Attributes -

You may visit yourself once.

Mechanics -

At night, choose someone's house to set up. You will visit that house and heal everyone visiting them.


 * If successful, you cannot target the same person again on the next night.

'''So I have a lot to say about this as a whole, but I'll get more into that with my verdict. For now, I'll just say it's very "special".'''
 * You will not heal yourself.

Once per game, you may visit yourself. This will cause you to heal only yourself.

Makes sense.

Your heal defense depends on number of people there. If there is 2 or less, it will be powerful. If there is 3 or more, it will be basic. '''Does "the number of people there" also include the person you are visiting directly, or just the people visiting your target? If it's the first option, then yeah, I agree with it, it basically makes it so that your target is more vulnerable if multiple people visit him, which is a nice way to balance the role. If it's the second option though, then it's incredibly OP. Assuming it doesn't include yourself, three people would have to visit in order to make the attack basic. Considering both you and your target need to be there as well, it would mean five people have to be there, which is a third of the game! Anyway, I really hope you meant the first option.'''

Notifications -

(Self):

You decided to set up (Name)'s house tonight.

You changed your mind.

Someone attacked a visitor of your target but you healed them!

That's worded pretty akwardly tbh, you should probably change this.

(Others): You were attacked, but a passerby healed you!

-Investigate Results-

I'm assuming you mean InvestigatIVE results ;)

Sheriff - Innocent

Investigator - 

'''You know, when listing the investigative result for a role, it's usually a good idea to idk, ACTUALLY INCLUDE THE ROLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. (sorry if that came off as rude, I was just joking around lol. No but seriously, you should include the role itself.)''' Precise - Your target is a certified in Pyschology. They must be the Therapist! I mean...it's not really called "precise", but I see what you're getting at.
 * Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, or Potion Master.

-Achievements-

So... how are you feeling?: Give therapy to a Serial Killer, Jester, or Executioner.

Health Center: Heal 4+ players in a night

Just like online: Visit the same person the entire game and fail to get a single heal.

You really don't need to include these in your role idea, but I guess it can't hurt. Verdict: Tweak?

'''You see, I'm very mixed on this role in general. It's definitely unique, I'll give you that, and the role does also genuinly sound fun to play. The biggest problem with this role however, is balancing. Healing your target AND everyone who visits them is an incredibily powerful ability. You definitely did take actions to try and balance this role however. First, there is the "you can't heal the same target twice in a row if the first heal worked", which ok, sure, that's a decent nerf. Not healing yourself only makes sense, as otherwise you would be incredibly hard to kill. This role's biggest weakness is also it's biggest strength however, as the ability to heal your target and their visitors really is a dubble edged sword. Sure, if your target is attacked, you are saving them from death, but don't forget that by doing that, you are also saving the attacker from death. If they were attacked by other means, you just saved them. If there was a Bodyguard on your target, you just saved them. Do you get what I'm saying? While it may seem OP at first, I think this role is actually decently balanced, but that's just my opinion. The reason my verdict was tweak though, is because I'm pretty sure you didn't follow the template for role ideas. I think all the necessary info is here, but you should really try following the template. Anyway, I thought this role was very unique and I had fun reviewing it :).'''
