Board Thread:Role Ideas (Town)/@comment-50.37.85.112-20190209234355

Town (Support)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Unique: No

Priority: 1 (Highest)

Abilities: Link your mind with another player's mind at night.

Attributes:

You may annonymously talk to your target.

Your target will know their mind is being linked.

You will know who the other Mystics are.

You may speak to the other Mystics at night.

You may decide whether you will or will not say things in the Mystic chat.

Results:

Investigator: Your target is a Mystic.

Sheriff: You cannot find evidence of wrongdoing, your target seems innocent.

Consigliere/Potion Master/Coven Leader: Your target uses their powers to find evildoers. They must be a Town Mystic.

Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.

This role will CLEARLY need some things specified.

You will probably see some problems in this.

1. Auto-confirmation: People can confirm a Mystic read their mind. It's really quite simple.

2. Can confirm other Mystics: Yeah, they know who all Mystics are and may speak to them at night.

3. Lack of Invest results: Notice how I didn't specify "Town Mystic". "Town Mystic" is the role, not "Mystic".

Here's what happens.

Town Mystic.

Neutral Mystic.

Mafia Mystic.

Coven Mystic.

All 4 Mystics have the SAME ability. In the Mystic chat, you will not know what faction they are. Note: Mafia and Coven Mystics are Unique.

The Town Mystic (if added) is the ONLY Town role in the game that knows other roles.

It will say the Mystic's names up at the top, similar to your Lover or the VIP. It will only say a list of names, and will not say things such as Fring (Coven Mystic). It will only say Fring or Fring (Mystic).

Mafia/Coven Mystics gaining the ability to kill does not deprive them from being still able to communicate to someone.

Overall, the goal for the Mystic is to be confirmed as a set of roles (that the Investigator doesn't really help with) to determine the identity. There's really no way to tell the difference (except for a Sheriff or a Consigliere, Potion Master, and Coven Leader) from the Mystics.

1. Auto-confirmation: People can confirm a Mystic read their mind. It's really quite simple.

- Now that this has been established, saying Mystic is easy to confirm is like saying Escort is easy to confirm without a Spy.

2. Can confirm other Mystics: Yeah, they know who all Mystics are and may speak to them at night.

- Confirms Mystics as Mystics, but does NOT confirm them as Town.

3. Lack of Invest results: Notice how I didn't specify "Town Mystic". "Town Mystic" is the role, not "Mystic".

- This is because ALL Mystics, no matter the faction, have the exact same Investigator result.

Happy Hanging!
