<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">If the genius investigates a person who had not been investigated, he has no leads and therefore, will not be able to determine his role and it will say: “You do not have enough leads to find your target’s role!”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The genius can investigate a dead body and from that dead body, the genius will be given a list of maybe 3-5 names of who killed that person. However, if there is less than 3-5 people, the genius will be given everyone’s name and, therefore, this ability is useless in late game.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The genius cannot be role-blocked

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Story:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The leads lay on the table as the genius stares into the sheets of paper. The paper lay down lifeless as the escort lays on his front desk. The genius shoo’s her away and continues his work. “Hmmm, the investigator did say with his inference that he was definitely a member of the mafia but the sheriff stated that he was non suspicious.” The sets of paper lay down staring at him. He thought how could the target be not suspicious yet a member of the mafia. The scrolls through the lines of words. “THe target can be seen walking out of his house at the same time, every time, carrying a drink can.” one line wrote. “Hmmm, why would you carry a drink can every night?”, the genius continued reading: “The target would reek of gasoline when he came back to his house.” the following line wrote. “That’s it! The target is the arsonist!” exclaimed the genius. All of a sudden, the genius smelt a burning smell. His house was getting burned!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">There the arsonist stood staring at the genius’s burning house.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'ProximaNova';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I made this idea entirely by myself and if there is any other role like mine, I didn't copy it as so far, i have not read any custom role :p

first of all, this role needs another role to be useful. So, rejected because this role needs another role to work. And the dead bodies ability is basically a nerfed Psychic
