Alignment: Mafia Support/Killing (both can work and just hear me out)

'''There's already an issue. People REALLY don't like roles on the official forums, and are willing to reject even good ideas (like 'Stalker' by Orecreeper).'''

But if it's, then it's all good.

Attack: None (unless he is killing)

Defense: None

Summary: You are a Corrupt Judicator on the mafia's payroll.

Ability - During the day you may pick a non-mafia character and judge them,

'''Day ability? That's interesting.'''

Attributes: - If there are no capable Mafia Killing roles left, you will become a Mafioso.

Fair enough.

Mechanic -During the night, If the character is a Non-Unique role (Ex. Doctor and Vigilante) during the night you can reveal their role type (Ex. town protective, Town killing, and Neutral Evil) and make their attack and defense none (or if killing, Kill them)

- You cannot exist with a consigliere

Good...

- If the character you selected is lynched then you will act as consigliere for the night

Oh, wow.

- If the character you selected is protected, the protection will be negated (too powerful maybe?)

Eh... - transports does not effect the judgement

- Unique roles will be revealed to the mafia

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia! Investigator: Your target could be an Investigator, Jailor, or Judge

Example of the interaction

Day one: you pick (no.3) to judge, During the night: You decided that he is too important (unique role)

Day two: you pick (no.14) to judge, During the night: You decided that he is expendable(non-unique)

Indicators - He protects the just (Town Protect)

- He kills with his own volition (Town Killing)

- He acts as a covert eye (town investigative)

- He helps in his own way (Town Support)

- He's more crooked than I (Neutral Killing/ Neutral evil) First of, this is more of a Mafia Support than a Mafia Killing, which is good.

'''However, the investigative factor of this role is not good. It's a nerfed Consigliere, I know it has another ability but it should probably ONLY have the other ability. You don't need its first one when Consigliere already exists.'''

For the second and third ability 'it acts a Consigliere for the night if someone is lynched'.

There is some synergy here which is good, a player with an unknown role IS a player who is more likely to be lynched, but 'act as a Consigliere' for the night is not a very good reward, considering it'd be better if a player simply rolled Consigliere.

'''​​​​​​​The last one is just no, Mafia Protections are a bad idea. You could select a revealed Mayor or confirmed Townie and have its protection negated which is a very easy, direct method to rid protection. Indirect methods are much better, for example, a Consort blocking Town Protective or a Blackmailer silencing the Lookout.'''
