Name: Assassin

Alignment: Mafia Killing Unique

Attributes: Attack: Powerful - Defence: None

'''Mechanics: Choose one person at night to follow, their last will will be cleaned and if they visit a member of the Mafia, you will see who they visit and you will assassinate your target, dealing a powerful attack. If you successfully assassinate someone, you must wait a night before selecting a new target. You have unlimited assassinations. '''

Sheriff: Suspicious

Investigator: Vigilante, Veteran, Mafioso, Pirate, Ambusher, Assassin

3 mafia roles in one result seems a bit much.

'''Consigliere/Witch: Your target eliminates people who know too much. They must be an Assassin'''

Wins with/Must kill: Mafia Win Conditions

'''Reason: Because the Ambusher is underpowered as he can only attack one person and everyone sees his name. '''

I like this role idea, the unique concept of having 4 people you can't visit (4 veterans) makes picking your target strenuous and required you to choose people you think aren't suspicious. My three major problems are,

Win-more: If the Mafia lose a member on night one, this role is substantially weaker, on top of the of the Mafia have already lost a member. So if you get unlucky in the start, this role barely helps.

(Vanilla because I only play Vanilla) Visiting: If you are a member of the town and you visit, you are a Sheriff, Investigator, Spy, Lookout, Spy, Escort, Transporter, Bodyguard, Doctor, or Vigilante. My problem is that only half the TI's, Escort, Transporter, and Vigilante visit evils on a normal night because Lookouts and Spies are protecting/confirming roles, and TP's are guarding important tow roles.

When you're not killing: Lastly, I feel that there needs to be a different and slightly more powerful night ability compared to the current one when your target dies. Wiping a will is slightly annoying, but is a very easy fix to a semi-competent townie. Something more impactful should be their ability.

Hope I helped to perfect your role!
