Alignment: Mafia Support

Summary: You are an inspector of dead bodies working for organized crime.

Attack: none

Defense: none

Unique Role: no

Abilities:

- Inspect a dead body to determine everything that happened to it the night it died

Attributes:

- Inspections reveal which roles visited the player the night they died (not the names of the players who visited, so it wouldn't be a postmortem lookout)

'''postmortem lookout.... for mafia'''

- Inspections reveal what actions each visitor did (eg. A Serial Killer stabbed your target, A Sheriff interogated your target, A Coven Leader controlled and drained your target, A Blackmailer blackmailed your target etc.)

- Inspections bypass Janitor cleanings and Medusa stonings (but you cannot obtain those wills)

'''why would it matter? they're mafia'''

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff : Your target is a member of the Mafia !

Investigator : Lookout , Forger , Witch /Coven Leader, Coroner

Witch /Consigliere : Your target inspects dead bodies. They must be a Coroner!

This role, I think, serves as a decent check on Medusa's power. And, this role is also checked by the Tracker, who could easily bust a Coroner visiting a dead player. 1

I don't understand when this role would be useful, knowing what role that killed a target is what the game announces to everyone. Other then that, it's ability is next to useless.

I don't really know how to fix this because it's purpose doesn't help the mafia.
