Mooagain wrote: isn't mafia protectives on the list of bad roles not to make? just saying. I'm not sure, but Mafia Protectives generally aren't great roles. I guess this could be a decent role, but a role that sort of makes TPrs useless isn't usually a good idea. It has both defensive and offensive abilities, so Mafia Protection isn't the biggest problem here (we can remove the ability to put tripwires on Mafia). The biggest problem here is that it lets Mafia do as they please, for 2-3 nights. They can take out roles like Jailor and Mayor with just 2 uses and no risk.

Generally, roles that pass TPr don't work. That's pretty much the tl;dr of this short paragraph.
