Hmm...

I think this role seems very much like a re-hash role. It is very similar to the mafioso, as already mentioned by other people, but it is less powerful as it can only kill on odd nights.

I think that what would make this role interesting and more powerful is if you changed the nature of killing to an indirect one - for example, if you attempt to kill a veteran who is on alert, you will not succeed, but you will not die either. If you attempt to kill someone who is protected by a bodyguard, you will not succeed, but you won't die. If you attempt to kill someone who is being watched by a lookout, then you succeed, and the lookout doesn't know it was you, only that a necronomicon visited their target last night.

This would make this role more powerful, and feel less like a re-hash. Plus, it would make for a more fun playthrough.

A different suggestion would be the ability to disguise your kill as the murder of another, for example you could make it look like they were killed by a mafioso, or an SK, etc.

I think this is a good idea for a role, but it is simply not powerful enough, and it doesn't seem fun to play or original. It would be more interesting with some other things thrown in the mix.
