Summary: The leader of an uprising group, seeking power in Salem.

Abilities: On every odd night, rampage someone's house. On every even night, select someone to recruit into the gang. '''Woah. That is extremely powerful.'''

Attributes: Can read and talk in Gang chat, along with all other Gang members. Cannot recruit any member of the or, cannot recruit , cannot recruit the  or a.

Unique: Yes.

Attack: Basic Rampage. '''So, this is basically Werewolf, except it rampages on odd nights. And it can recruit. But it has Basic instead of Powerful attack. This feels a little too strong.'''

Defense: Basic.

Goal: Live to see the gang victorious.

Wins With: Gang,,.

Investigative Results (Along with all recruited members.):


 * Your target is a member of the Gang!


 * Up for debate. How about the Framer, Vampire, Jester, Hex Master one?  This role converts, just like vampires.

///: Your target controls a gang in Salem. They must be the Gangster!

RECRUITING EXPLAINED:

Recruited people will have their alignment changed to the Gang equivalent, and their win conditions changed to that of the Gangster. They will also have their role's color displayed as grey similar to the 's.

'''Yeah, this seems to be a new trend in role ideas. The "convert someone but they keep the abilities" kind of thing. Nothing wrong with that though, you just need to limit its power appropriately.'''

Example: The is recruited into the gang. Their alignment will be switched from to Gang (Protective). Their win conditions will change to the same one's as the Gangster's. Their role's color will be displayed as a grey similar to the 's.

'''And what happens when the Gangster dies? '''

This works the exact same way with every role that the Gangster can recruit.

If the Gangster attempts to recruit someone who can not be recruited, like the or a member of the, for instance, they will deal a Basic attack on them, but it will not rampage.

​​​​​​​Uh, no.  To reduce the power, make it so that recruitment does not affect Mafia members.

If the Gangster dies, and there are no other gang members alive, the gang will basically lose.

If the Gangster dies, and there are/is other gang member(s) alive, the first recruited gang member will become the Gangster. This process continues, so if the second Gangster dies, the next eldest member of the gang will become the Gangster, and so on and so forth.

'''Thats... really strong. Pretty clever solution to the issue that after the converter dies, the remaining members can't do much, but still. This is strong.'''

'''Okay, here are some suggestions. The Gangster's Rampage ability is extremely strong. Change it so that it merely deals a Basic attack. Secondly, limit the power of the gang. Unlimited members is OP, maybe make it so the gang gets 2 members max. Once the gang gets two members, the Gangster can't do anything on even nights until one of the Gang members dies and he goes off recruiting again. You should also scale back his defense. He can already recruit Town Protective, he doesn't need Basic defense to back him up.'''

Lore: The investigator sat in their leather chair at a desk cluttered with documents. They let out a brief sigh, and then lowered their head, to sleep on the mountain of papers which in a way, formed a pillow for the investigator.

Just as they shut their eyes, they heard a knock on their front door.

Who could that be at this time? the investigator pondered.

They opened up their door to meet a figure dressed in rather heavy clothing. The figure had their hands tucked into their pockets at first, but then their right hand ejected out of their pocket, clutching a paper with writing on it.

The investigator wore a blank face, as the figure held the paper in front of them.

"Join me" it read in rather neat handwriting.

Hesitant, the investigator gaped in awe at the figure's immense stance, and then nodded in agreement.
