'''yeah, could use a better one. you could try making the name of a role first, before you even start thinking of it's abilities or attributes :P'''

Mafia (Deception)

oh boy

- You may change a person's death message. When this happens, you can choose from a Panel that shows all the various death messages (EXCLUDING "Died from a broken heart"), much like the Hypnotist. The Spy will also not see the Mafia visiting the target. If the target dies, the death message you chose will show up (This will mostly be with Mafia kills, but if you say predict who the Serial Killer kills you can choose the death message of the SK's victim as well).

'''dude, where are the abilities/attributes? this structure kills me ;-;'''

interesting mechanic, and I like the originality a lot, but this is in a way a forger rehash

- You may do this 3 times.

smells like forger

Sheriff - Your target is a member of the Mafia!

thank god you're buffing sheriff

Investigator - Your target could be a Lookout, Forger, Witch/Coven Leader, or Mislead (Likely should add another Townie to balance it out)!

1-2-1-0

yeah, you're right about that.

Consigliere - Your target creates rumors of citizen's deaths. They must be a Mislead!

pretty decent actually, which is rare seeing as most people would say something along the lines of Your target changes people's death notes

Wins with - Mafia

sUrvIVors aNd wItCheS

Must Kill - Town, Serial Killers, Werewolfs, Arsonists, Vampires, Coven, Plaguebearer/Pestilence, Juggernaut.

mhm

Anyone else you may spare.

ah ok Main points:

-Softcounters spy which is pretty ehh. I'd remove that part entirely.

--After all, it is very similar to a forger, but there isn't much you can do about that

+Balanced. It isn't too OP or UP, not much to say about that but well done

++It does have a really original mechanic, and I really like how you went down the jailoresque route of having a list of possible death notes, though it would be nice to see the options.

I'd give it a:

Sure maybe/10 IGN

I think this is good enough to talk about a little. First of all, whether or not you think this should be accepted is dictated by your tolerance for rehashes. This isn't too close to one, and if you ignore the fact that it's sort of a reverse forger, it's pretty much perfect. Gotta say, you've got potential and determination, especially with this role being a lot better than some of the stuff out there :D

Anyway, chances are you've seen this before, but hey: http://town-of-salem.wikia.com/wiki/Making_New_Roles
