Board Thread:Role Ideas (Rework)/@comment-30307222-20170415130141/@comment-29253708-20170416065409

Here's an example. Framer and Investigator both visit the same target, who is doused. What happens? Does he come up as the Framer result, or the Arsonist result? The answer is Framer/Vampire/Jester, because Framer is a one-night ability, not permanent like Arsonist, and Framer has higher priority.

Jailor has the highest priority, which explains why all attacks, even ones like Arsonist igniting and Werewolf mauling, don't affect the prisoner.

Etc etc, but that explains pretty much all of it.

As for this buff idea...

It solely affects killing roles. If you're remembering Medium, that doesn't help you in the case of when a Vigilante is coming after you. What I'm saying is, it's ineffective in most cases.

Also, this might actually screw the Amnesiac over. Example: Vigilante shoots the Amnesiac, who is remembering Vigilante. Vigilante calls out the Amnesiac, and despite his best efforts, he is lynched. Or worse, he gets executed by Jailor or shot by a Vigilante (again). This would destroy some of the Town's more powerful roles.

The real odds that you are going to remember a killing role WHILE that role is choosing to kill you is extremely low. Think about it.

Odds that there is a non-unique killing role to choose: pretty low

Odds that you will choose to become a killing role: pretty low again

Odds that there is that exact role still alive in the game (meaning that there is two or more of that role in the game): even lower

Odds that that single role is choosing to kill you, out of all the other possibilities, on the same night you are trying to remember: really friggin low

So multiply those odds together, and you have the ultimate chance for this situation: Nearly impossible.

This rework is rejected.
