Attack: None Defence: None

Ability: Fabricate somebody at night

Attributes: You can fabricate three times.

Fabricating Ability: Change somebody’s role at night If your target dies that night, they will appear as your disguised role. Sheriffs, Investigators and other investigating roles will bypass this. Janitors and Medusas will override this.

Investigation Results: Sheriff: Mafia Investigator: Your target could be a Doctor, Disguiser, Serial Killer, Potion Master, or a Fabricator. (Side Note: Since Disguisers will disguise themselves every night, they could theoretically put with any investigation result and it wouldn’t matter, so I’m not counting the “two mafia in one investigation result” problem here.) Reveal: Your target uses objects to fabricates lies. They must be a Fabricator.

Addressing Possible Concerns: This can easily make Mafia seem like a confirmed town: Usually, when somebody spits out an accusation, they are put on trial and hanged, or they are considered innocent and the prosecutor is put on trial, or ignored. Since hanged people won’t be affected by the Fabricator, the “confirmed town” becomes much harder to pull off—the Mafia member is reliant on the fact that their target is not executed by the Jailor or hanged. Roles like Consigliere are further evidence that making an evil role a “confirmed town” is not super powerful. Changing Somebody’s role at night is useless: This role is a powerful asset in role lists such as the Ranked Mode role list, where people can’t use the strategy of eliminating role claims by seeing what roles are possible. For All Any and other randomized role lists, this role can make claims (such as a Sheriff accusing a Mafia member) invalid. The Person’s Will Can Override Fabrications: People save fake wills often. Somebody that appears as an Executioner with a Sheriff will be called an Executioner.
