Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-34969116-20190331150900

Name: Counter Assassin

Alignment: Town protective

Attack: Powerful

Defense: None

Unique Role: No

Abilities: At night guard someone and provided them with a basic defence, if they are attacked you will seek out and kill the attacker the following night.

Attributes: None

Mechanics: Choose a target at night to guard giving them basic defence, for example player A. If player A is attacked by player B with a basic attack then A will survive and B will be notified that their target's defence was too strong. A will also be told that they were defended by a Counter Assassin.

The following night however you will not have the oppotunity to choose another target to defend, instead you will deal a powerful attack to player B. If you are roleblocked on the night you would attack, the target dies beforehand or you fail to kill your target then you will not attempt again and will return to guarding players.

You will not be made aware of who it is you will attack but on the night of your attack, your target will be notified that a Counter Assassin is coming for them and they can try to make the arangements to survive the night.

You will be hit by rampage attacks at your target's house and if so you will not be able to counter (unless you were healed by a doctor).

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious

Investigator: Lookout, Forger, Witch or Counter Assassin

Consigliere/Witch: Your target seeks to take out attackers on their client, they must be a Counter Assassin

Goal: Lynch all criminal and evildoers

Wins With: Standard for town

Must Kill: Standard for town

Notes:

There are not many oppotunities for TPs but I think this is a good one. While this role obviously has the advantage of not dying when its target is attacked and (unlike the doctor) being able to attack back, it is disadvantaged by being a slower killer and not having a protective vest. Staying in the shadows will be useful so that enemy consorts dont prevent your attacks. It will also add another layer of gameplay since it may be a strategy for evils to request to be jailed if they are worried about CAs in order to avoid being hit - you of course can scum read this and work out that they are the attacker.
