AbyssalAbsol wrote: Name: Chemist

Alignment: Neutral Chaos

Attack: None

Defense: Basic

Unique Role: Yes.

Abilities: Study someone each night.

Attributes: Control Immune. Roleblock Immune.

Mechanics:

'''When you study someone, you will know what energy type they have. Reactants do not know the Chemist has studied them.'''

Blood Red: Veteran, Medusa, Werewolf, Crusader, Ambusher

Dark Orange: Vigilante, Mafioso, Godfather, Serial Killer, Poisoner

Bright Yellow: Investigator, Consigliere, Sheriff, Psychic, Coven Leader/Witch

Light Green: Lookout, Tracker, Spy, Medium, Plaguebearer

Calm Blue: Doctor, Bodyguard, Trapper, Survivor, Retributionist

Deep Purple: Jailor, Potion Master, Necromancer, Janitor, Amnesiac

Hot Pink: Escort, Consort, Transporter, Pirate, Blackmailer

Metallic Grey: Framer, Forger, Disguiser, Hypnotist

Pure White: Jester, Executioner, Vampire, Guardian Angel, Vampire Hunter

Vantablack: Arsonist, Hex Master, Juggernaut, Mayor, Pestilence

'''When you study two people, they will be catalogued. During the day, you can choose one or more of your catalogued pairs to react. Reactants will not know they will react. Kill messages will be what they normally would be. Additionally, Medusa will Stone people she kills while reacting. The Mayor's kill message would be that they were killed by a member of the Mafia. The message people will get when attacked by a Deep Purple is that they were attacked by a member of the Mafia, then nursed back to health.'''

'''Note: The reactant will get their normal ability. They will also perform the action listed.'''

If Blood Red is reacting, they will Rampage at their house with a Powerful and gain Basic Defense.

Crusader, Ambusher, and Veteran rampaging?

If Dark Orange is reacting, they will deal a Basic to the other reactant.

If Bright Yellow is reacting, they will tell the Chemist  the other reactant's exact role.

This probably doesn't help the Chemist very much

If Light Green is reacting, they will tell the Anathemancer who the other reactant visited.

Why would a Medium and Plaguebearer do this.

If Calm Blue is reacting, they will Heal the other reactant and the Anathemancer.

If Deep Purple is reacting, they will attack the other reactant with a Basic, Heal them, roleblock them, and tell the Anathemancer their exact role.

I won't ask any more

If Hot Pink is reacting, they will roleblock the other reactant.

If Metallic Grey is reacting, they will change the other reactant's investigative results to that of their own for the rest of the game.

If Pure White is reacting, the whole reaction will be canceled out, and both reactants will gain Basic defense for the night.

If Vantablack is reacting, they will deal an Unstoppable to the other reactant.

-Investigative Results-

Sheriff: Your target is Not Suspicious.

Investigator: Escort, Consort, Transporter, Hypnotist, Chemist.

Consigliere/Witch: Your target messes around with chemicals, they must be a Chemist!

Goal: Have every living person studied and reacted.

'''So what's the point of having the subjects react with each other. The only thing they'd do is kill or give info about the other test subject, so they wouldn't benefit from it.'''

Wins With: Everyone.

Must Kill: No one, really.

Anything Else:

This is really complicated lol.

That's probably fine So aside from the fact that this would be a nightmare to code, I will say, the concept is excellent, however.

There's no point to using your role. You aren't working towards something, the goal is wrong for this role because you aren't serving a faction, you're just doing your own thing.

This can work, Executionar and Jester are examples, but with those roles they have a single purpose, and they are like a machine trying to get that done. But this role doesn't have a point to using their role, it wouldn't help them.
