Role Name - Detective

Alignment - Town Investigative

You are a private eye that compares his results.

Attributes - Investigate 2 people to get results based on your findings.

Abilities -

+Every Night, chooses 2 people.

​Ok

+Each person will either have the result of Town, Mafia, or Neutral. You will not know which one they are and will not be alerted of the said findings.

+If the two people you chose are different roles (Town and Mafia, Town and Neutral, or Mafia and Neutral) then it will say "Mixed Results".

​I find this one better, I'll explain why later.

~ I cannot decide which one is better, so I will put both here. Sorry, I'm just not a balancing wiz ~

+If the two people you chose are the same roles (Town and Town, Mafia and Mafia, or Neutral and Neutral) then it will say "Same Results".

Ok

~Framed targets will appear as Mafia for said results.

​Ok

~Cannot use this ability when roleblocked or jailed.

'''​Why add this? All roles are jail and roleblocked unless they are RB immune >_>'''

~(Undecisive) Will make Godfather appear as Town

​Add that, mafia needs any buff it can get >_>

~Upon a witch controlling you, you will investigate the second person you chose and the Witch's target.

​Okay (thank goodness it wasn't RNG)

If you don't understand, here's an example.

​I understand >_>

Investigative Results -

Investigator Investigator, Consigliere, Detective or Mayor - Your target has sensitive information to reveal.

Sheriff Your target is not suspicious.

Consigiliere Your target compares his findings. They must be a Detective.

The Point Of This Role -

I wanted to try making a role with a twist that does not involve finding out people's roles, but instead compares their results.

+If someone is confirmed Town (A best example of this would be Mayor, but there could also be others with non-concrete proof) you could compare said person with other roles. If you get "Mixed Results", that means your other target must be Neutral, Mafia, or Framed.

+From the previous point, also adds a use for Mafia and Neutral roles, except instead would be with "Same Results" instead. This would be useful early game, because if you manage to strike gold and find a Mafia or Neutral member but it's too early to reveal your role since it's a Town Investigative and therefore important role, you can take advantage and compare them with as much people as possible.

+This also could maybe slightly buff Godfather and Framer (?)

That's all. Sorry if I missed anything or if this breaks one of the role rules. Hope you enjoyed reading. ​This role, I am perfectly fine with, sometimes OP, sometimes UP, but not game breaking.

(Also, for the reason why I perfer the second one, it's a bit of a buff for the Mafia and Neutrals)

​Accepted!
