Very UP in fact

This sounds rather impressive in theory, but really think about what this does.

You choose ONE PERSON to save from a trial or lynch in a trial (For the next three days granted)

This requires the Judge to pick the person that'll be going on trial, but thats not even the UP part.

Lets say I, the Judge decide to pardon my fellow Consigliere.

Now, not only does the town know that the Consigliere was probably evil,

Not only does the town know there's a Judge,

but after learning that new information the Town can just continue VFRing people with their remainin trials. They can even LYNCH people.

Then the Jailor jails the Consigliere, and probably executes them

Congrats! You helped almost nothing!

Oh, but you can also lynch people

Before I go into that, what happens if you lynch a jester?

Ok so the thing about autolynching people is, you have to have picked a person who'll be going on trial.

Other than that, I like this mechanic (Even if it does kinda hardcounter Mayors)

The last thing I want to say is that this should probably be unique

Thats just my opinion, anyone else? I assume that this is supposed to be used in circumstances where A) The Jailor (and vigis, I guess) is dead, B) the town only know the identity of one of the mafia, and C) the town loses majority this night.

If this happens, and there's a Judge, it's more or less a guaranteed win for mafia.

This role is supposed to be like BMer, where it's only useful in specific circumstances, but the times that it is useful, it's incredibly broken.
