Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-37322933-20190810215124/@comment-31256456-20190821012639

Argh. I had a review fully written out but at the last second my computer shut down again.

In any case, I will be redoing my review today.

The prosecutor is both unique and interesting, allowing it to play a unique niche. Its ability to bring people onto the podium while finding information at night allows it to take action after it finds crucial information.

A few things:

1. The list is a little large. On top of that, many roles that are affected by this list can still claim common claims. It actually limits unique claims that would usually not be claimed and forces them to claim something that is very typical for the role. (For example, Blackmailer is basically limited to Spy and some other roles in the list if Blackmailer wishes to claim due to the presence of the Prosecutor. This makes the meta more stale.

2. Investigator/Sheriff is a better role in general. Although Investigator/Sheriff does not have the ability to put someone on the stand, they are able to narrow down someone's role much more effectively. Unfortunately for the Prosecutor, its put on the stand ability is decent, but only good in unexperienced towns. Experienced players will listen to the information that the Prosecutor puts out and make their own informed decisions- rendering the stand ability useless. Even in unexperienced towns, it's unlikely that the person you put in the stand will be lynched. In any case, the stand ability does not make Prosecutor equal to Investigator, and Prosecutor still ends up being worse.

Suggestions: There are several options. Here's what I think could possibly work:

1. Add a second element to the role, such as Commited a large crime/Commited a small crime/Has not commited a crime or something similar.

2. Make the role "unique", so that the other TI slot can find more information, helping the Prosecutor.

3.  Buff the stand ability?

These are just some brief suggestions, and shouldn't all be followed. Rasengan, as usual, you have great role ideas that push the boundaries of role making. Good luck with this role.
